""What I Believe"" is a collection of essays written by Leo Tolstoy, one of the most prominent Russian writers of the 19th century. In this book, Tolstoy shares his personal beliefs and philosophies on a wide range of topics, including religion, morality, politics, and the nature of human existence.Tolstoy's ideas are deeply rooted in his Christian faith, and he argues that true Christianity is not about following dogma or ritual, but rather about living a life of selflessness, compassion, and love for others. He also critiques the institutionalized forms of religion that he sees as corrupt and hypocritical.In addition to his religious beliefs, Tolstoy also shares his thoughts on the role of the individual in society, the importance of nonviolence and pacifism, and the need for social and economic equality. He argues that true happiness and fulfillment can only be achieved by living a simple, humble life and by helping others.Overall, ""What I Believe"" is a powerful and thought-provoking work that challenges readers to question their own beliefs and values, and to strive for a more compassionate and just world.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1885 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
