What are people alive for

In the later years of his life, Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) discovered that a simple, clear narrative possesses greater artistic power than a novel. Truth is easier to understand when it is not hidden behind complex imagery and does not get lost in intricate plot twists. The parables and stories presented in the collection were written as parts of books for reading, addressed to every individual. In them, the author addresses the main themes of folk literature and shows what makes people alive, how not to lose conscience, where to find the righteous, why love and God are one.
The illustrations for the book were done by Boris Arkadyevich Diodorov, a master of book graphics famous for his works on Russian and foreign classics. The artistic cycle reflects the artist's deeply personal interpretation of Tolstoy's texts, inspired by those simple truths that changed the life of the writer himself.
