Description

This collection of daily thoughts to nourish the soul from the world’s sacred texts by Leo Tolstoy feature gems of inspiration and wisdom—author Thomas Keneally calls this book “transcendent, and that we are grateful he lived long enough to endow us with his grand inheritance.”

This is the first-ever English-language edition of the book Leo Tolstoy considered to be his most important contribution to humanity, the work of his life's last years.

Widely read in pre-revolutionary Russia, banned and forgotten under Communism; and recently rediscovered to great excitement, A Calendar of Wisdom is a day-by-day guide that illuminates the path of a life worth living with a brightness undimmed by time.

Unjustly censored for nearly a century, it deserves to be placed with the few books in our history that will never cease teaching us the essence of what is important in this world.

  • Tolstoy as Spiritual Guide

    By Leslie Evelyn
    I love ending my day with reflections of such an admirable man, a collector and writer of the Truth. Here, in daily collections, Tolstoy gives you pearls of wisdom from many sources other than himself. Reading it daily over years would be the goal to slowly absorb the thoughts of those teachers who taught and shaped the mind and heart of this Great Writer himself.
