Publisher's Synopsis
""What I Believe"" is a collection of essays written by Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoi, one of the most renowned writers and philosophers of the 19th century. In this book, Tolstoi presents his personal views on religion, ethics, politics, and social issues. He argues that true Christianity should be based on love, compassion, and non-violence, and that organized religion has become corrupted by power and wealth. He also criticizes the state and its institutions, advocating for a more decentralized and democratic society. Tolstoi's ideas influenced many thinkers and activists, including Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. ""What I Believe"" is a thought-provoking and inspiring read for anyone interested in spirituality, philosophy, and social justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
