In these four stories, Leo Tolstoy (1828 - 1910) depicts desire in its different manifestations - from idealistic romance to sexual jealousy, from desperate lust to relentless longing. Family Happiness, an early work, portrays the struggles of a couple as they move from courtship and passion through disillusionment to the quieter stage of married love. A passenger tells a bitter tale of sex, suspicion and murder when strangers on a train discuss the nature of love in The Kruetzer Sonata, a novella banned for its scandalous content in 1890. In The Devil, a young man finds it impossible to resist a beautiful peasant woman with whom he had an affair before his marriage, while Father Sergius shows a man going to increasingly desperate ends - from a soldier to monk, to hermit to beggar - in order to avoid the temptations of the flesh.

"Ivan Ilych's life had been most simple and most ordinary and therefore most terrible." Written shortly after his conversion to Christianity, The Death of Ivan Ilyich is one of Tolstoy's masterpieces in fiction. A man facing death is forced to reconcile the contradictions of his own existence and his fear of the unknown in what may or may not exist after life.

My Religion is a book written by the famous Russian author Leo Tolstoy. In this book, Tolstoy discusses his personal beliefs and philosophy of life, which he developed after a long period of spiritual and intellectual searching. The book is divided into three parts, with each part exploring a different aspect of Tolstoy's faith. In the first part, Tolstoy describes his journey towards a more meaningful and authentic faith, which he found by rejecting the formal and institutionalized religion of his upbringing. He argues that true religion is not about following dogmas and rituals, but about living a life of love, compassion, and moral integrity. The second part of the book focuses on Tolstoy's interpretation of the teachings of Jesus Christ. He argues that Jesus was not a divine figure, but a human being who taught a message of radical love and nonviolence. Tolstoy suggests that Jesus' teachings have been distorted and corrupted by the Church, and that it is up to individuals to rediscover the true meaning of his message. Finally, in the third part of the book, Tolstoy discusses the practical implications of his faith. He argues that true religion requires individuals to live a simple and humble life, free from materialism and consumerism. He also advocates for social and political reform, arguing that true religion requires individuals to work towards a more just and equitable society. Overall, My Religion is a powerful and thought-provoking book that offers a unique perspective on spirituality and faith. Tolstoy's ideas continue to resonate with readers today, and the book remains a classic of religious literature.1885. The doctrine of simplification has many adherents in Russia, and when, some time ago, it was announced that the author of �������War and Peace������� had retired to the country and was leading a life of frugality and unaffected toil in the cultivation of his estates, the surprise to his own countrymen could not have been very great. In this book, he tells us how the decision was formed. He bases his conclusions on a direct and literal interpretation of the teachings of Jesus as expressed in the Sermon on the Mount.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

For some weeks Father Sergius had been living with one persistent thought: whether he was right in accepting the position in which he had not so much placed himself as been placed by the Archimandrite and the Abbot. That position had begun after the recovery of the fourteen-year-old boy. From that time, with each month, week, and day that passed, Sergius felt his own inner life wasting away and being replaced by external life.

But this is unjust. I not only do not repudiate art and science, but, in the name of that which is true art and true science, I say that which I do say; merely in order that mankind may emerge from that savage state into which it will speedily fall, thanks to the erroneous teaching of our time, --only for this purpose do I say that which I say
