Publisher's Synopsis
The Journal of Leo Tolstoi V1, 1895-1899 (1917) is a collection of the personal diary entries of the renowned Russian writer, Leo Tolstoi. The book covers a period of four years, from 1895 to 1899, during which Tolstoi was in his sixties and grappling with questions of spirituality, morality, and the meaning of life.
