Publisher's Synopsis
In 1879 Tolstoy came to believe that his achievements and existence were meaningless, plunging him into a state of extreme pain and restlessness that seemed to lead him fatally towards suicide. Written in a vital period that marks a change in his aesthetic trajectory and leads him to the religious field, My Confession recounts this spiritual crisis in an intense and brief chronicle about a search for the truth that will transform his life and his thoughts. A text that, at the gates of death, reflects the depth of the reflections of one of the great authors of all time.
