Афоризми от Лев Толстой. Всичко идва при този, който умее да чака.

by Leo Tolstoy, Лев Толстой, Кристина Крумова (Editor)

Лев Толстой заема централно място в руската класика, а в световната литература името му се нарежда до тези на най-гениалните писатели, творили някога. Чрез своите романи „Война и мир“ и „Ана Каренина“ той достига абсолютен творчески разцвет още на средна възраст, а това, което предстои на великия ум, е почти необикновено…

В средата на жизнения си път Толстой изпада в духовна криза, която го води до пълен ценностен крах. След като се отказва от несметните си богатства, заможният и успял писател посвещава дните си на бедните и неуките.

Ето защо заглавието на настоящия сборник с афоризми – „Всичко идва при този, който умее да чака“, е прозорец към целия Толстоев свят. А той е богат на филосифии, колкото в широчина, толкова и в дълбочина.

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.
