Tolstoi knows everything about every situation in life. And what does he do with this in that novel: he tells us, that mostly we are not at all in control and that is good so.

The GBAT (greatest book of all time) All Tolstoy's stuff is great, but he really transcends all art with this one. It's just so majestically and painstakingly human. He makes the ineffable effable. Like staring into the face of god, prepare to be awestruck.

if you've ever experienced existential depression this book is for you. Possible argument that anything Tolstoy wrote prior to this is a throwaway once you understand his personal history (yes, that includes war & peace *gasp*) ... read and find out why

I had to read this in my first year of uni for an English class, and tbh, I think it was the only book in the class I read all the way through. It’s definitely a more intense read, and I know a lot of people who don’t really love the writing style (especially the English version) but idk I really loved it! I think about that book so often and I’ll definitely read it again.

Understanding that mostly we are ignorant about many things leads to a state of mental bliss.

They are kind of ridiculous. The epitome of a small dog. If you were to tell a child to draw a dog the drawing would most likely look like a tiny dachshund. They look better in your arm than most handbags. Nobody is afraid of them. You can’t really take them serious - which is an ideal to recommended to any Homo Sapiens. Yet they have a lot of character and are smarter than the turd who wants to become president again. And they get quiet old without going to Equinox or using nutrition supplement or detox and all that shit.

By Angelos Merges. It’s technically beautifully painted and slightly uncanny. The last remaining human beings gather after a apocalypse to discuss the questio: what should we do now?
