Books I've read, with notes along the way. Newest first.
Nils Holgerssons underbara resa genom Sverige
A Confession
Autobiograph written between 1879 and 1882 where Tolstoy describes how he found the will to live again in the faith of ordinary working people and ending in a break with the Church.
Anna Karenina
Love... it means too much to me, far more than you can understand. At its simplest, Anna Karenina is a love story.
The Kingdom of God is Within You
The soul-searching book that inspired Gandhi to embrace the concept of passive resistance, Tolstoy's 1894 polemic outlines a radical, well-reasoned revision of traditional Christian thinking. The revered novelist and political thinker denounces violent revolution, calling upon readers to rely upon their inner divinity for the strength to effect social change.
