关于此电子书

In "Bethink Yourselves!", Leo Tolstoy delves into the profound moral and ethical challenges facing humanity, advocating for a return to simplicity and introspection in an increasingly complex world. Written in his signature straightforward yet poignant style, this philosophical treatise invites readers to confront their values and societal norms, reflecting Tolstoy's deep engagement with issues of justice, faith, and individual conscience. The work is positioned within the broader context of the 19th-century Russian literary movement, emphasizing moral compassion amid industrialization and societal change, showcasing Tolstoy's capability to weave personal reflection into a universal narrative. Leo Tolstoy, renowned for his masterpieces such as "War and Peace" and "Anna Karenina", experienced a profound spiritual awakening in the latter part of his life, leading him to explore themes of morality, faith, and righteousness in depth. This transformation was likely influenced by his engagement with Christianity, peasant life, and a quest for existential meaning, all of which are intricately woven throughout "Bethink Yourselves!" as he implores readers to investigate the true essence of their existence and the interconnectedness of humanity. "Bethink Yourselves!" is a compelling read for those interested in philosophy, ethics, and the enduring quest for personal and societal redemption. Tolstoy's incisive insights and accessible prose make this work not only a profound reflection on the human condition but also a relevant guide for contemporary readers seeking clarity and purpose amidst modern distractions.

作者简介

Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy, known in English as Leo Tolstoy, was one of the most acclaimed Russian novelists and is regarded as an eminent literary figure in world literature. Born into Russian nobility on September 9, 1828, in Yasnaya Polyana, Tolstoy's literary career spanned over six decades, during which he penned novels, short stories, plays, and philosophical essays. His epic works 'War and Peace' (1869) and 'Anna Karenina' (1877) are celebrated for their intricate character development and profound understanding of human nature. Tolstoy's moral and spiritual inquiries led him to adopt a Christian anarchist and pacifist stance, which is reflected in his later works, including 'Bethink Yourselves!' written in 1904 in response to the Russo-Japanese War. In this treatise, Tolstoy advocated for non-violent resistance and condemned warfare. His literary style combined realism with philosophical ponderings, often exploring themes of fate, family, and society, while his forays into ethical and spiritual discourse challenged the socio-political norms of his time. Recognized for his contributions to literature, Tolstoy's insights extend beyond his narrative works, influencing both literary and philosophical spheres. He passed away on November 20, 1910, leaving a legacy that continues to resonate and inspire.
