Questo libro contiene ora diversi sommari HTML che renderanno la lettura un vero piacere!Il libro è un racconto autobiografico dell''autore in un momento della sua vita in cui attraversa una crisi di malinconia esistenziale. Descrive la sua ricerca di risposte alle domande profonde: "Cosa uscirà da ciò che faccio oggi? cosa farò domani? Cosa uscirà dalla mia vita? E "Qual è il significato della vita? ", Senza risposte per lui e che rendono la vita" impossibile ".Tolstoj parla della sua infanzia, del suo abbandono della sua fede ortodossa russa, della sua padronanza della forza, della sua volontà di potenza e di come, dopo aver raggiunto il successo finanziario e un considerevole status sociale, la sua vita non avesse più alcun significato.Dopo aver disperato i suoi tentativi di trovare risposte nella scienza, nella filosofia, nella saggezza orientale e nei suoi colleghi scrittori, "confessa" di aver trovato la risposta al suo dolore nelle profonde convinzioni religiose ortodosse dei cittadini comuni . Descrive come ha presentato il suo scetticismo razionale e l''orrore della "superstizione delle verità cristiane" al fine di ottenere la pace mentale di cui aveva bisogno per rendere possibile la sua "sopravvivenza".Il termine "confessione" è stato usato perché Tolstoy era ben consapevole di essere contrario ai pregiudizi anti-religiosi / atei che dominavano gran parte dell''élite laica russa ed europea (di default a causa delle carenze dell''ortodossia ).

Acclaimed by many as the world''s greatest novel, Anna Karenina provides a vast panorama of contemporary life in Russia and of humanity in general. In it Tolstoy uses his intense imaginative insight to create some of the most memorable characters in all of literature. Anna is a sophisticated woman who abandons her empty existence as the wife of Karenin and turns to Count Vronsky to fulfil her passionate nature - with tragic consequences. Levin is a reflection of Tolstoy himself, often expressing the author''s own views and convictions.Throughout, Tolstoy points no moral, merely inviting us not to judge but to watch. As Rosemary Edmonds comments, ''He leaves the shifting patterns of the kaleidoscope to bring home the meaning of the brooding words following the title, ''Vengeance is mine, and I will repay.

In Russia''s struggle with Napoleon, Tolstoy saw a tragedy that involved all mankind. Greater than a historical chronicle, War and Peace is an affirmation of life itself, `a complete picture'', as a contemporary reviewer put it, `of everything in which people find their happiness and greatness, their grief and humiliation''. Tolstoy gave his personal approval to this translation, published here in a new single volume edition, which includes an introduction by Henry Gifford, and Tolstoy''s important essay `Some Words about War and Peace''.

Die Kreutzersonate Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy - Posdnyschew, Mörder seiner Frau, frühzeitig ergraut, mit blitzenden Augen und nervösem Gebaren, hört auf einer längeren Zugfahrt, wie die Reisenden über Liebe als Grundbedingung für eine glückliche Ehe diskutieren eine Ansicht, die vor allem von einer nicht mehr jungen, häßlichen, rauchenden Dame vertreten wird. Ein alter Kaufmann dagegen vertritt rigoros patriarchalische, antiquiert anmutende Ansichten. Endlich, nachdem die meisten ausgestiegen sind, erzählt Posdnyschew seine Geschichte: Als junger Mann, nach Jahren des Alleineseins beschließt er zu heiraten.

The story begins with the childhood and exceptional and accomplished youth of Prince Stepan Kasatsky. The young man is destined for great things. He discovers on the eve of his wedding that his fiancée Countess Mary Korotkova has had an affair with his beloved Tsar Nicholas I. The blow to his pride is massive, and he retreats to the arms of Russian Orthodoxy and becomes a monk. Many years of humility and doubt follow. He is ordered to become a hermit. Despite his being removed from the world, he is still remembered for having so remarkably transformed his life. One winter night, a group of merry-makers decide to visit him, and one of them, a divorced woman named Makovkina, spends the night in his cell, with the intention to seduce him. Father Sergius discovers he is still weak and in order to protect himself, cuts off his own finger. Makovkina is stunned by this act, and leaves the next morning, having vowed to change her life…

The Death of Ivan Ilyich, first published in 1886, is a novella by Leo Tolstoy, one of the masterpieces of his late fiction, written shortly after his religious conversion of the late 1870s. The novel tells the story of the death, at age 45, of a high-court judge in 19th-century Russia. Living what seems to be a good life, his dreadful relationship with his wife notwithstanding, Ivan Ilyich Golovin bangs his side while putting up curtains in a new apartment intended to reflect his family's superior status in society. Within weeks, he has developed a strange taste in his mouth and a pain that will not go away. Several expensive doctors are consulted, but beyond muttering about blind gut and floating kidneys, they can neither explain nor treat his condition, and it soon becomes clear that Ivan Ilyich is dying…

The Death of Ivan Ilych is a novella written by Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy in 1886. The story opens with the news of Ivan Ilych’s death, revealing the indifferent reactions of his wife and colleagues who are more concerned about financial matters and career opportunities than mourning his passing. The book then delves into Ivan’s life, detailing his rise in the civil service, his marriage, and his relationship with his children. Throughout his life, he follows societal expectations without truly engaging in meaningful relationships or pursuing his own desires. As Ivan faces a terminal illness, he is forced to confront the reality of his existence. He experiences a profound awakening, realizing the emptiness of his life choices and the superficiality of his relationships. The novella examines themes of mortality, the search for meaning, and the contrast between living a life of societal convention versus one of personal authenticity. It ultimately challenges readers to reflect on the value of their own lives and the legacy they will leave behind.
