Daniel Cornwall’s Reviews > A Calendar of Wisdom: Daily Thoughts to Nourish the Soul > Status Update

I wanted to like this book, I really did. And parts of it glowed. But the main reason I was interested in looking at this book was to read the quotes from all the different wisdom traditions Tolstoy used and maybe track some of them down. But as Tolstoy makes very clear in his introduction, the quotes are often entirely paraphrased and translators are very unlikely to find the original. Ok for others. Not for me.
