Synopsis
Leo Tolstoy died 1910, at the Astapova train station of pneumonia. Then what? Did Tolstoy's influence suddenly terminate with his death? Did those who dedicated themselves to his interpretation of Jesus Christ's teaching abandon it and return to their secular lives and beliefs? They called themselves Tolstovtzi: disciples of Tolstoyan philosophy. They continued the belief in Christian pacifism: the refusal of war and military service and violence in any form. The retained their high morality based on the Gospels, their vegetarian diet, and resided in communities they formed where all material items were held in common. This is their story. They held to their convictions even to their death by firing squad, or suffering in jails and prisons, or exile to concentration camps. To survive some were willing to relocate their commune to Siberia to distance themselves from Soviet government interference. Included in the volume is a brief biography of Leo Tolstoy, an exposition of his religious philosophy, and a description of Russia at the time of Tolstoy.Daniel H. Shubin has written several books on the life and philosophy of Leo Tolstoy, as well as translated War and Peace, The Kingdom of God is within You, Confession, What I Believe, A Path for Life, Summary of the Gospels, and On Life, from Russian into English. He has also visited the Tolstoy estate in Tule, and travelled Russia., Leo Tolstoy died 1910, at the Astapova train station of pneumonia. Then what?

- r***r (2959)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseBook arrived today, 2 days before deadline given by the seller. Well-packaged & in good condition. Price was very competitive, & the book was accurately listed. Great communication. I appreciate the seller getting back to me when I was having trouble tracking the book's delivery progress. Apparently there were 2 different tracking numbers - one in Canada & the other in the U.S., since it was initially shipped from Canada. Thank you very much for your quick response & helpful information.Rethinking Investing: A Very Short Guide to Very Long-Term Investing by Charles (#396183075510)
- e***_ (13)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseSeller handles a massive inventory so I give them grace on the slow processing and shipping. They were very communicative and prompt with their response when I messaged in asking about it. Book was in good condition as described. Small ding on the page edges which wasn't mentioned, but that's fairly common even at your typical book store. Still a good value and I'd buy from them again.
- 0***i (5)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe first item arrived with some damage to the inside back cover, but the seller responded immediately, assuring me they’d provide a replacement, and even told me I could keep the original. They were upfront about a short delay, and gave a clear estimated ship date, and followed up right on time once it shipped. The replacement arrived in perfect condition and exactly as described. I really appreciated their transparency and professionalism. Would definitely buy from them again!
