A Confession: Journey Through Doubt, Faith, and the Search For Meaning (Large Print Deluxe Hardcover Edition Easy Reading)

What if the answers to life's greatest questions began with admitting you had none?Laying aside the mantle of celebrated novelist, Leo Tolstoy becomes every seeker in A Confession. In prose as clear as it is courageous, he recounts his spiral into depression despite literary fame and family joys. Confronting the limits of rational knowledge, he finds no solace in wealth, art, or ambition.Tolstoy's journey carries him through: - Relentless Philosophical Inquiry - From Western science to Eastern mysticism, he evaluates every path to meaning.- An Honest Portrait of Despair - A raw admission of suicidal thoughts and moral exhaustion.- A Rediscovery of Simple Faith - The humble belief of peasants offers the key to a new outlook on life.- A Living Blueprint for Purpose - Tolstoy emerges with principles of compassion, labor, and spiritual awakening.This modern translation preserves Tolstoy's urgency while making his revelations accessible to today's readers-inviting each of us to confront doubt, embrace vulnerability, and discover our own convictions.
