I was almost at the stage of crying around the end of the book Tolstoy's spiritual teaching of the reader is a special process I felt the power of fiction which teaches and explains the divine truth to the humans This is the power of Tolstoy this is the power of books this is the power of spirit
A good book from Tolstoy upon human and love I like Tolstoy
I have now understood that though it seems to men that they live by care for themselves in truth it is love alone by which they live He who has love is in God and God is in him for God is love
25 stars It was little too preachy for my tastes
A sweet story about what makes us humanI have learnt that all men live not by care for themselves but by loveIt was not given to the mother to know what her children needed fortheir life Nor was it given to the rich man to know what he himselfneeded Nor is it given to any man to know whether when eveningcomes he will need boots for his body or slippers for his corpseI understood that God does not wish men to live apart andtherefore he does not reveal to them what each one needs forhimself; but he wishes them to live united and therefore reveals toeach of them what is necessary for all
“People only seem to live when they care only for themselves and that it is by love for others that they really live” At least that's the lesson Tolstoy offers us in this otherwise innocuous tale of Christian generosity; and usually the Dude abides but I cannot resist a thought what is there to stop of us from doing both? I have little doubt that such eminent family figures of our time as Mitch “Grandpa Fun” McConnell and Supportive Father Richard B Cheney despite some minor suabbles would have few ualms in telling us that they like Tolstoy's Simon ultimately live for little than the love of their “own dear family” And I'd be inclined to believe them — except I'd also believe of course that they eually live for the unmistakable pursuit of power and the thrill of victory no matter how high the cost and yes even the erosion of the American Republic The unmatchable zeal with which each of these men have approached the climb fails to convince me that they are not really living In fact they must have lived a thousand lives; died with each new attack; and lived again with each new victory And my proposition? They feel nothing but accomplished So forgive me Tolstoy when I uestion your suggestion that Love is the only real way to live — and again your conclusion that “he who was Love has God in him and is in God” It really doesn't seem so simple
Another gem by a brilliant man I listened to an audiobook version obtained from Hoopla At first I was a little skeptical of the narrator but by the end the story was so moving this was easily overcome
I loved this touching little morality tale so much Perfect Greek translationedition too
25 stars This was a uite alright book The stories were a little too violent for my taste but J understand that in the past teaching was done through punishments and remembering the worst Today religion is thought through love and compassion and I prefer it this way The stories were alright there were value and respect issues but I don't know if I can hold this against Tolstoy who lived in a different era a different country and a different world Overall I'm glad I read the book it's nice to have a knowledge of Tolstoy's writing style and fiction abilities I plan to read of his books in the future
The most moving parable I have ever read
