He had already completed his masterworks, Anna Karenina and War and Peace, reared fourteen children, and gained fame and acclaim in Russia as a man of letters. But despite having attained that success, he still found himself unhappy and always returning to the disturbing idea that all achievement is meaningless.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Confession is his attempt to put these thoughts in words as he teetered on the brink of suicide. It forms the first in a four-volume series that included A Criticism of Dogmatic Theology, The Gospel in Brief, and What I Believe (also known as My Religion or My Faith).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9791041800056\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eby Leo Tolstoy\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9791041800056","offer_id":46888514683205,"sku":"9791041800056","price":9.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/c8948bdd-5b1c-458c-b184-d42800da0445.jpg?v=1766045721","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/a-confession-von-leo-tolstoy","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
