Publisher's Synopsis
The End of the Age, On the Approaching Revolution: Preceded by the Crisis in Russia is a non-fiction book written by Leo Tolstoy and published in 1906. The book is a collection of Tolstoy's essays and letters on the topic of revolution, particularly the revolution that he believed was imminent in Russia. Tolstoy argues that the current political and social systems are corrupt and unsustainable, and that a revolution is necessary to bring about a more just and equitable society. He also criticizes the violence and bloodshed that often accompany revolutions, and advocates for nonviolent resistance as a more effective means of achieving social change. The book is divided into several sections, each of which explores a different aspect of the approaching revolution. Tolstoy discusses the role of religion in the revolution, the importance of education and social reform, and the need for individuals to take responsibility for their own lives and actions. Overall, The End of the Age is a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of the political and social issues of Tolstoy's time, and remains relevant to contemporary discussions of revolution and social change.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
