Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *Where Love Is, There God Is Also* by Leo Tolstoy is a profound short story that delves into the themes of love, compassion, and the divine presence in everyday life. Set in a humble context, the narrative follows the life of a poor shoemaker named Martin Avdeich, who grapples with feelings of loneliness and despair after the loss of his family. As the story unfolds, Martin has a transformative dream in which he receives a divine message: he will encounter God the next day. Filled with anticipation, he prepares himself to recognize the divine in those he meets. Throughout the day, he encounters various individuals—each struggling with their own hardships. Rather than a grand revelation, Martin discovers that God's presence is manifested in acts of kindness, compassion, and genuine connection with others. Through his interactions with the needy and downtrodden, Martin learns that love is the true essence of divinity, bridging the gap between humanity and God. Tolstoy masterfully weaves a narrative that challenges readers to perceive the sacred in the ordinary, highlighting that every act of love contributes to the greater tapestry of existence. Readers are drawn to *Where Love Is, There God Is Also* for its simplicity and depth. Tolstoy’s eloquent storytelling and moral insights make this work a timeless reflection on the nature of love and spirituality. This book serves as a poignant reminder that love and compassion are pathways to experiencing the divine, encouraging readers to embrace these values in their own lives. Owning a copy of this remarkable tale is an invitation to explore the profound connections that bind us all, making it an essential addition to any literary collection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Spectator Best Book of the Year ‘There are three rules for writing a novel,’ Somerset Maugham once said. ‘Unfortunately, no one knows what they are.’ So how to bring characters to life, find a voice, kill your darlings, avoid plagiarism (or choose not to), or run that most challenging of literary gauntlets—writing a good sex scene? Veteran editor and author Richard Cohen takes us on a fascinating excursion into the lives and minds of our greatest writers—from Balzac and Eliot to Woolf and Nabokov, through to Zadie Smith and Stephen King, with a few mischievous detours to Tolstoy along the way. In a glittering tour d’horizon, he lays bare their tricks, motivations, techniques, obsessions and flaws.

Book Synopsis The Hidden Writer by : Alexandra Johnson
Download or read book The Hidden Writer written by Alexandra Johnson and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2010-07-07 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Whom do I tell when I tell a blank page?" Virginia Woolf's question is one that generations of readers and writers searching to map a creative life have asked of their own diaries. No other document quite compares with the intimacies and yearnings, the confessions and desires, revealed in the pages of a diary. Presenting seven portraits of literary and creative lives, Alexandra Johnson illuminates the secret world of writers and their diaries, and shows how over generations these writers have used the diary to solve a common set of creative and life questions. In Sonya Tolstoy's diary, we witness the conflict between love and vocation; in Katherine Mansfield and Virginia Woolf's friendship, the nettle of rivalry among writing equals is revealed; and in Alice James's diary, begun at age forty, the feelings of competition within a creative family are explored. The Hidden Writer shows how the diaries of Marjory Fleming, Sonya Tolstoy, Alice James, Katherine Mansfield, Virginia Woolf, Anaïs Nin, and May Sarton negotiated the obstacle course of silence, ambition, envy, and fame. Destined to become a classic on writing and the diary as literary form, this is an essential book for anyone interested in the evolution of creative life.
Download or read book Tolstoy written by David Redfearn and published by Shepheard-Walwyn Publishers. This book was released on 1992 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book examines the contemporary relevance of the last 30 years of Tolstoy's life. To understand this period, he needs to be regarded as a philosopher and social reformer. His "conversion” was a growing realization that the social system was unjust and oppressive and that the church, far from speaking out against it, sanctified it. He sought to relate Christian principles not only to the spiritual development of the individual but to the way in which society was organized and run. Tolstoy predicted unless there was economic reform, there would be a cataclysmic disaster--the First World War proved him right.

Book excerpt: What Is Love? “It is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness. A handsome woman talks nonsense, you listen and hear not nonsense but cleverness. She says and does horrid things, and you see only charm. And if a handsome woman does not say stupid or horrid things, you at once persuade yourself that she is wonderfully clever and moral.” - Leo Tolstoy, The Kreutzer Sonata Upon hearing a woman arguing that marriage should never be arranged and always be subject to love, Pozdnyshev asks: ‘What is love?’ He condemns the argument saying that love doesn’t last forever and can quickly turn into hatred. What is Pozdnyshev’s story? Why doesn’t he believe in love? Xist Publishing is a digital-first publisher.
