Leo Tolstoy

9/IX1828 – 20/11/1910

Tolstoi fue considerado uno de los más grandes novelistas del mundo. Todos conocemos sus grandes obras Guerra y Paz y ANA KARENINA, pero una de sus obras que impactó profundamente tanto a Gandhi como a Martin Luther King fueUna confesión escrita después de haber experimentado una profunda crisis moral, seguida de lo que él consideraba un despertar espiritual igualmente profundo. Se convirtió en un ferviente anarquista cristiano pacifista que no creía en la violencia activa. Si no hubiera sufrimiento, el hombre no conocería sus límites, no se conocería a mismo“. ¿Dónde vemos el despertar de Tolstoi en su despertar espiritual?

Tolstoy was considered one of the world’s greatest novelists. We all know his great works War and Peace and ANA KARENINA, but one of his works that deeply impacted both Gandhi and Martin Luther King was “A Confession” written after he had experienced a deep moral crisis, followed by what he considered an equally profound spiritual awakening. He became a fervent pacifist Christian anarchist who did not believe in active violence.
“If there were no suffering, man would not know his limits, he would not know himself.”
¿Where do we see Tolstoi’s awakening in his spiritual awakening?
