Informacje o e-booku

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. Leo Tolstoy's 1894 magnum opus, The Kingdom of God Is Within You, is a remarkable treatise on Christian anarchism and non-violent resistance. Tolstoy argues that true Christianity rejects violence, coercion and institutionalised authority in favour of individual moral responsibility and passive resistance to oppression, drawing on his deep spiritual reflections. The book's literary excellence lies in its eloquent and compelling prose, which makes complex ideas compelling and accessible. Its historical impact is immense, having profoundly influenced key figures such as Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr, inspiring their non-violent civil rights movements. Still relevant today, this philosophical masterpiece challenges readers to re-evaluate their understanding of Christianity, politics and the quest for a more just and peaceful world.
