Acerca de este libro electrónico

A new translation into modern American English directly from the original Russian manuscript. This edition contains an Afterword by the translator, a timeline of Tolstoy's life and works, and a glossary of philosophic terminology used throughout Tolstoy's literature and philosophy. "Father Sergius" by Leo Tolstoy is a short story written sometime between 1890 and 1898 and first published (posthumously a year after his death) in 1911 by his estate. It tells the story of Prince Stepan Kasatsky, who has similarities to Prince Myshkin from Dostoevsky's The Idiot. Over the course of his life, Prince Kasatsky becomes Father Sergius as he continues to grapple with the temptations of the world and the inner struggle to overcome pride and desire. Tolstoy's rich character development and philosophical depth illuminate the complexities of the quest for divine grace.
