Bethink Yourselves by Leo Tolstoy audiobook.

Genre: religion

As Russia goes to war against Japan, Tolstoy urges those at all levels of society, from the Tsar down to the common soldier, to consider their actions in the light of Christ's teaching. 'However strange this may appear, the most effective and certain deliverance of men from all the calamities which they inflict upon themselves and from the most dreadful of all—war—is attainable, not by any external general measures, but merely by that simple appeal to the consciousness of each separate man which, nineteen hundred years ago, was proposed by Jesus—that every man bethink himself, and ask himself, who is he, why he lives, and what he should and should not do.'

A Confession by Leo Tolstoy audiobook.

Genre: philosophy

Leo Tolstoy's 'A Confession,' written in 1882 shortly after a life-altering spiritual crisis, is a brutally sincere reflection on life, morality, and the nature of faith. Tolstoy describes in great detail the process by which he lost his faith in established Christian churches, the meaninglessness of wealth and fame, the agony of acute depression, and how he overcame misery and dread through personal study of the teachings of Jesus Christ. Along the way, he contrasts the artificial faith and arrogance of educated people with the genuine faith and humility of the Russian peasant. This work, and others of its ilk, were aggressively censored by the Tsarist regime and directly led to Tolstoy being excommunicated by the Russian Orthodox Church.

Childhood by Leo Tolstoy audiobook.

Genre: drama

In Childhood, Leo Tolstoy introduces Nikolai Irtenyev, a sensitive Russian boy growing up on a country estate where love, pride, and fear mingle in the ordinary rhythms of family life. Surrounded by affectionate sisters, stern adults, and the quietly powerful presence of his mother, Nikolai begins to notice how quickly feelings shift: a warm moment can turn to shame, jealousy, or sudden loneliness. As tutors and servants shape his days, he watches the complex hierarchies of household and class, learning that kindness can carry hidden cruelty and that admiration can be tangled with resentment. When Nikolai is drawn into new social settings beyond the estate, he struggles to understand who he is and who he wants to become, measuring himself against friends and rivals while longing for moral clarity. Told with intimate honesty and sharp psychological detail, Tolstoy captures the fragile intensity of early memory, the formation of conscience, and the first painful steps toward adulthood.
