Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Demands of Love and Reason: From Recent Published and Unpublished Writings of Leo Tolstoy
One would think no kind of life could be better. But, nevertheless, this life will be hell, or will become hell, if these people are not hypocrites and do not lie, i.s., if they are really sincere. If these people have renounced the advantages and pleasures of life which town and money gave them, they have done so only because they acknowledge all men to be brothers equals before their Father. Not equals in ability, or, perhaps, in worth; but equals in their right to life, and to all that life can give.
