About the author

Leo Tolstoy

7,856 books29k followers
Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy (Russian: Лев Николаевич Толстой; most appropriately used Liev Tolstoy; commonly Leo Tolstoy in Anglophone countries) was a Russian writer who primarily wrote novels and short stories. Later in life, he also wrote plays and essays. His two most famous works, the novels War and Peace and Anna Karenina, are acknowledged as two of the greatest novels of all time and a pinnacle of realist fiction. Many consider Tolstoy to have been one of the world's greatest novelists. Tolstoy is equally known for his complicated and paradoxical persona and for his extreme moralistic and ascetic views, which he adopted after a moral crisis and spiritual awakening in the 1870s, after which he also became noted as a moral thinker and social reformer.

His literal interpretation of the ethical teachings of Jesus, centering on the Sermon on the Mount, caused him in later life to become a fervent Christian anarchist and anarcho-pacifist. His ideas on nonviolent resistance, expressed in such works as The Kingdom of God Is Within You, were to have a profound impact on such pivotal twentieth-century figures as Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr.

Dit boek is heerlijk voor het slapen gaan en heeft mij als heidens jochie de mooie kanten van religie doen in zien. Streef naar een simpel leven, wees goed voor een ander en het is niet erg om een dwaas te zijn.

ik had een boek vol coole verhalen met mythische wezens uit rusland verwacht verwacht, zoals baba yaga. Maar dit waren eigenlijk alleen maar bijbel verhalen met russische namen

Ik had eerst een boek verwacht met verhalen over Baba Jaga enz. Dat was niet het geval. Het ging bijna allemaal over God of in geloof in andere zin. Ik ben zelf gelovig, dus ik vond het prachtig. Er zitten hele mooie boodschappen in. Als je niet gelovig bent, wees daar op berekend. Ik snap ook dat het dan niet iets voor jou kan wezen.

Maar ikzelf vond het dus prachtig en heel inspirerend. Mooi geschreven verhalen.

All moral tales, all about God and whatnot. Decent stories and well-written, but probably not his best work!
