忏悔录

by Leo Tolstoy, 列夫·托尔斯泰, 崔建华 (Translator)

“我的生命是否具有超越死亡从而永恒的意义？”列夫·托尔斯泰在凌乱的书桌上写上重重一笔。在创作《安娜·卡列尼娜》行将结束时，因不堪理想与现实的差距，托尔斯泰思想出现巨大困惑。他追溯自己五十年的人生经历和心路历程，寻找生命意义，并记录下这段精神活动的过程，取名《忏悔录》。

托尔斯泰《忏悔录》深刻探讨生命意义，与人生、命运、信仰有关。

生命向我们隐瞒了什么？如何坦然面对死亡？如何让短暂的人生具有永恒价值？这些有关人生命运的深刻问题，都将在阅读本书中得到启发。

About the author

Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy (Russian: Лев Николаевич Толстой; most appropriately used Liev Tolstoy; commonly Leo Tolstoy in Anglophone countries) was a Russian writer who primarily wrote novels and short stories. Later in life, he also wrote plays and essays. His two most famous works, the novels War and Peace and Anna Karenina, are acknowledged as two of the greatest novels of all time and a pinnacle of realist fiction. Many consider Tolstoy to have been one of the world's greatest novelists. Tolstoy is equally known for his complicated and paradoxical persona and for his extreme moralistic and ascetic views, which he adopted after a moral crisis and spiritual awakening in the 1870s, after which he also became noted as a moral thinker and social reformer.

His literal interpretation of the ethical teachings of Jesus, centering on the Sermon on the Mount, caused him in later life to become a fervent Christian anarchist and anarcho-pacifist. His ideas on nonviolent resistance, expressed in such works as The Kingdom of God Is Within You, were to have a profound impact on such pivotal twentieth-century figures as Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr.

应该更名为“我是如何开始信上帝的”。因为不信教所以暂时没有感触，作为作家能够这样自我暴露还是勇气可嘉。
