Produktbeschreibung
The Kingdom of God Is Within You is Leo Tolstoy's follow-up to his powerful book entitled, My Religion. Tolstoy became very interested in Christianity and the teachings of Jesus Christ later in life, and he applied what he learned as a student to teach others the lessons he was then applying. We see a world fragmented and hateful to love and the golden rule of Christ. Tolstoy set about correcting this, and more of the message is communicated in this volume. Alan Lewis Silva has carefully and lovingly edited this edition to make it more openly accessible to English readers. This is a more direct edition that features a new arrangement of the book's chapters to prioritize Tolstoy's Christian development while retaining all the original chapters and content with editorial improvements.

His fiction includes dozens of short stories such as "After the Ball" (1911), and several novellas such as The Death of Ivan Ilyich (1886), Family Happiness (1859) and Hadji Murad (1912).
