A Confession (1882) Published.

A Confession, published in 1882, is a deeply personal and introspective work by Leo Tolstoy that marks a turning point in both his life and literary career. In this autobiographical essay, Tolstoy candidly shares his existential crisis and spiritual awakening, detailing his inner turmoil despite his external success as one of Russia’s most celebrated writers. At the height of his fame, Tolstoy found himself grappling with profound questions about the meaning of life, death, and human suffering. This led him into a spiritual descent where he questioned not only religion and philosophy but also the purpose of his own existence. In A Confession, Tolstoy rejects the shallow comforts of wealth, fame, and intellectual pride, ultimately turning toward a more humble, faith-based understanding of life. The work is a raw and honest portrayal of a man seeking truth beyond societal expectations and intellectual frameworks. His journey reflects the universal human struggle with despair and the desire for deeper meaning, making the book resonate powerfully with readers across generations. This pivotal piece laid the foundation for Tolstoy’s later moral and religious writings and has become a seminal text in existential and spiritual literature. #MomentsOfLife #MoofLife_Moment #MoofLife #Tolstoy #AConfession #SpiritualAwakening #ExistentialJourney #FaithAndLife #LiteraryClassics #SearchForMeaning
