What I Believe (1885)

""What I Believe"" is a philosophical treatise written by Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoi in 1885. In this book, Tolstoi shares his personal beliefs on various topics such as religion, morality, and politics. He argues that true Christianity is not found in the doctrines of the church, but in living a life of love and compassion towards all beings. Tolstoi also advocates for non-violent resistance to injustice and oppression, and criticizes the state for its use of violence to maintain power. The book is a reflection of Tolstoi's own spiritual journey and his rejection of the materialistic and selfish values of modern society. It is a thought-provoking read that challenges readers to question their own beliefs and values.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
