O ovoj e-knjizi
Leo Tolstoy's 'The Kingdom of God is Within You' is a profound philosophical treatise examining the principles of nonviolent resistance and Christian anarchism. Written in a clear and persuasive style, this work explores the idea that true Christianity is found in the individual's moral conscience rather than in organized religion. Set against the backdrop of social and political turmoil in late 19th-century Russia, Tolstoy challenges traditional beliefs about the role of the state and the church in society. Leo Tolstoy, known for his epic novels such as 'War and Peace' and 'Anna Karenina,' wrote 'The Kingdom of God is Within You' as a result of his own spiritual and ideological transformation. Influenced by the teachings of Jesus Christ and the works of thinkers like Henry David Thoreau, Tolstoy presents a compelling argument for nonviolent resistance as a means of achieving social justice and personal fulfillment. I highly recommend 'The Kingdom of God is Within You' to readers interested in exploring the intersection of religion, politics, and individual morality. Tolstoy's insights are as relevant today as they were when the book was first published, making it essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the power of nonviolent protest and the true essence of Christian teachings.
O autoru
Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy, known as Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910), was a Russian writer who is regarded as one of the greatest authors of all time. Born to an aristocratic Russian family in 1828, he is best known for his epic novels 'War and Peace' (1869) and 'Anna Karenina' (1877), which have been celebrated for their complex characters and detailed depiction of Russian society. Tolstoy's literary style combines realist narrative with a profound moralistic and philosophical introspection. Beyond his novels, Tolstoy also wrote shorter fiction, essays, and plays. His later works became more didactic as he developed a unique Christian anarchist and pacifist philosophy, which was central to 'The Kingdom of God is Within You' (1894). This particular work, banned in Russia for its anti-establishment views, argues for nonviolent resistance and influenced figures such as Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. Tolstoy's moral and spiritual writings contributed significantly to his reputation as a moral thinker and social reformer. Despite his aristocratic background, he sought to live a simpler life during his later years, following a moralistic and ascetic philosophy deeply influenced by his understanding of the teachings of Jesus Christ.
