Over dit e-boek
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. First published in 1887, The Way of Life by Leo Tolstoy is a collection of parables and reflections on the great philosophers and religious thinkers of history. Tolstoy distills the wisdom of authors ranging from Plato and Epictetus to Schopenhauer, Kant, Lessing, and the German mystic Angelus Silesius to Emerson, Thoreau, and every religious leader in the world. Tolstoy explores love, morality, suffering, and the quest for meaning through these narratives. Each section distills the wisdom of historical thinkers in easy-to-understand bites. The literary merit of the book lies in Tolstoy's poignant narrative style and his ability to evoke deep emotions in the reader. Its historical impact is evident in its enduring popularity, touching the hearts and minds of readers across generations. "The Way of Life" is a timeless classic on the human spirit and a testament to Tolstoy's enduring legacy as one of the greatest literary minds in history.
