A Confession by Leo Tolstoy – Original Book

A Confession by Leo Tolstoy is available as an original English edition in Morocco from Almihbara.

Leo Tolstoy turns the question of a meaningful life inward, examining the distance between worldly success and personal conviction.

Written after his major novels, this compact autobiographical work follows a crisis of belief and the search for a way to live with purpose. Its interest lies in the candour of the questioning: reason, mortality, faith and ordinary human experience are placed under pressure rather than resolved through a simple formula.

Who this book is for

Readers interested in philosophical memoir, questions of belief and the thinking behind Tolstoy’s fiction.

Reading experience and context

An intimate argument rather than a conventional autobiography; read slowly and consider the movement between doubt and conviction.

Genre and reading interests
