4.0 out of 5 starsTolstoy challenges society, religion, and worldly wisdom.
By A Customer on September 17, 1999
Format: Paperback
Tolstoy takes the reader through his personal spiritual struggles as a young adult. Tolstoy, saturated with worldly knowledge, begins to understand the implications of a life purely devoted to rational and explanable thought: a meaningless existence. Scorning the stubborness of many past thinkers and speculators, Tolstoy heralds faith as the only avenue to true meaning. To be rich in the knowledge of men is weak and ultimately inconclusive, but to believe in an ultimate creator, inherent with purpose and direction, bids a life soaked with a paucity of excitement, conviction, and optimism goodbye. Tolstoy masterfully paints the tragedy of his early years, only to inevitably reveal an eternal triumph which exists in a victorious union with the divine. Simple, straightforward, and genuine, Confession allows the reader to reflect and speculate about his or her own existence.

1.0 out of 5 starsGreat read, but BAD publisher. 50 EDITING ERRORS!!!
By Laura Landry on May 14, 2010
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Whilst reading the Aegypan Press's publishing of "A Confession" I realized it was in large print, had numerous editing errors (I counted 50), and did not provide any copyright information. For a short ESSAY, the publishing caliber of this book is abominable. I am an avid reader but had I been just graduating from the 5th grade, I could have done a better editing job than this. DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!
To buy this version of Tolstoy's "A Confession" would be to disgrace one of the most lucid and personal essay's in literature. I strongly recommend investing in this book published by another press. The afterword, containing Tolstoy's dream is a poignantly intimate and yet applicable summation of his struggle to find meaning and rest for life - a passage that has the beauty of poetry and one that will stay with me forever.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat commentary on life
By Allen Riberdy on June 4, 1998
Format: Paperback
When reading A Confession I felt as if I were listening to a wise, animated friend. This book spoke to me. Tolstoy convincingly details the reasons not to live only to conclude that the best thing to do is to continue living. Since it is not a particularly well-known Tolstoy work, I thought it deserved some promotion here. It really is wonderful.

5.0 out of 5 starsA Journey Unfulfilled
By OrthodoxMama on January 19, 2004
Format: Paperback
Tolstoy's Confession was written during his time of deep internal spiritual struggle. Upon his renunciation of a life of aristocratic wealth and worldly pleasure, Tolstoy longed for the sense of true peace that he saw in the peasant class. Thus he embarked upon a search for meaning and happiness through a life of simple faith, manual labor, and poverty. He formulated his own Chrisian philosophy based on Christ's Sermon on the Mount stressing the existence of the Kingdom of God within the human heart, civil disobedience, and total pacifism. This "law of love" is explored deeply in confessional form throughout this autobiographical work. Although this particular approach to living the life in Christ ultimately did not cultivate in Tolstoy the deep inner peace that he yearned for, I feel that many of his ideas can be beneficial to people both within the Church as well as not. Regardless of the validity of his doctrine, it cannot be denied that this is an authentic, genuine, and very human confession of a man searching for God and some meaning to life on earth. Although I personally disagree with many of Tolstoy's points, I still hold his Confession to be a universal work that deserves a fair exploration by all who have ever felt a similar need for inner peace and true reconciliation with God.

5.0 out of 5 starsOne of the Most Important Books in Literature
By A Customer on May 1, 1997
Format: Paperback
I first read, A Confession, more than 15 years ago, when as a confused teenager, I was looking for some meaning to my life.

Who hasn't gone through this?

Through reading a biography of Tolstoy, I found out about, A Confession.

Immediately after reading this book, I felt a sense of relief that someone had put into words that which is always in the back of all our minds:
The question of, What is the Meaning of Life?

A Confession is a simple, straightforward account of Tolstoy's religious and spiritual crisis at the age of 50, when his family, fame, wealth, etc., lost meaning for him.

The two-year period, on which A Confession is based, details in depth his struggles, and eventual salvation.

This memoir gives great comfort, and peace to anyone who asks, "is this all there is." The book also shows the brilliance of the one of the world's great authors in communicating across the ages to humanity at all levels.

1.0 out of 5 starsAegypan needs a proofreader
By Xico on January 10, 2010
Format: Hardcover
The Aegypan (hardcover) edition of this book is a scandal and should not be on the market: almost every page boasts its typo -- most are harmless, but some, such as "whore" instead of "shore," leave one breathless.

1.0 out of 5 starsDo not buy the Aegypan paperback version!
By WHOru on December 27, 2011
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
As another reviewer said:
"The Aegypan (hardcover) edition of this book is a scandal and should not be on the market: almost every page boasts its typo -- most are harmless, but some, such as "whore" instead of "shore," leave one breathless."

The same is absolutely true of the Aegypan paperback.

Save your $$$ - buy another version - not that one! The typos are awful. Totally distracting and an insult to both Tolstoy and the reader. (I'm here on Amazon buying a replacement for that awful version of a truly great book!)
