This anthology compiles Tolstoy's essays, correspondence, and diary entrys written between 1890 and 1910. Translated by his close friends and biographers Louise and Aylmer Maude, the volume includes seminal non-fiction works such as "Shakespeare and the Drama," his exchange of letters with Mahatma Gandhi, and deep moral interrogations like "Bethink Yourselves!" and "Why do Men Stupefy Themselves?". It stands as an essential testament to Tolstoy's late-career evolution into a radical Christian anarchist and pacifist philosopher.
