God Sees the Truth but Waits and Other Moral Tales

After writing such popular novels as War and Peace and Anna Karenina, Leo Tolstoy experienced a religious crisis. By the late 1870s, Tolstoy had left the Russian Orthodox Church and embarked on a quest for spiritual truth, writing profound fable-like short stories. This volume features five enlightening tales that exemplify Tolstoy's spiritual journey, illuminating the paths to human virtue and salvation. Forgiveness blooms amidst injustice in "God Sees the Truth but Waits," while "What Men Live By" reveals the universal need for compassion. "Where Love Is, There God Is Also" is a nod to the Catholic hymn Ubi Caritas and exhibits the transformative power of divine love and charitable acts. "The Three Hermits" emphasizes the simplicity of faith and sincere prayer, and "Divine and Human" thunders the moral call to help those in need, defying personal risk and societal norms.
