Produktbeschreibung

The book 'Bethink Yourselves!' by Leo Tolstoy presents a powerful and thought-provoking critique of war, violence, and the necessity for individuals to reflect on their actions. Written in Tolstoy's signature philosophical and reflective style, the book explores the moral and ethical implications of warfare, urging readers to reexamine their beliefs and choices. Set against the backdrop of the early 20th century, the book remains relevant today in its call for peaceful resolution and self-awareness. Tolstoy's use of poignant anecdotes and persuasive arguments makes this book a compelling read for anyone interested in social justice and personal responsibility. Leo Tolstoy, a renowned Russian writer and philosopher, drew inspiration from his own spiritual journey and pacifist beliefs to write 'Bethink Yourselves!'. His experiences with social activism and commitment to nonviolence fueled his passion for advocating peace and social change. I highly recommend 'Bethink Yourselves!' to readers seeking a deeper understanding of the human conscience and the importance of introspection in times of conflict.

Autorenporträt

Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy (9 September [O.S. 28 August] 1828 - 20 November [O.S. 7 November] 1910), usually referred to in English as Leo Tolstoy, was a Russian writer who is regarded as one of the greatest authors of all time.[3] He received multiple nominations for the Nobel Prize in Literature every year from 1902 to 1906 and nominations for Nobel Peace Prize in 1901, 1902 and 1910 and the fact that he never won is a major Nobel prize controversy. Born to an aristocratic Russian family in 1828,[3] he is best known for the novels War and Peace (1869) and Anna Karenina (1877),[8] often cited as pinnacles of realist fiction.[3] He first achieved literary acclaim in his twenties with his semi-autobiographical trilogy, Childhood, Boyhood, and Youth (1852-1856), and Sevastopol Sketches (1855), based upon his experiences in the Crimean War. Tolstoy's fiction includes dozens of short stories and several novellas such as The Death of Ivan Ilyich (1886), Family Happiness (1859), and Hadji Murad (1912). He also wrote plays and numerous philosophical essays. In the 1870s Tolstoy experienced a profound moral crisis, followed by what he regarded as an equally profound spiritual awakening, as outlined in his non-fiction work A Confession (1882). His literal interpretation of the ethical teachings of Jesus, centering on the Sermon on the Mount, caused him to become a fervent Christian anarchist and pacifist.[3] Tolstoy's ideas on nonviolent resistance, expressed in such works as The Kingdom of God Is Within You (1894), had a profound impact on such pivotal 20th-century figures as Mahatma Gandhi[9] and Martin Luther King Jr.[10] Tolstoy also became a dedicated advocate of Georgism, the economic philosophy of Henry George, which he incorporated into his writing, particularly Resurrection (1899).
