I Cannot Be Silent: Writings on Politics, Art and Religion (Ne Mogu Molchat)

Before you is a collection of selected articles by the great Russian writer, whose powerful voice resonated and still resonates throughout the world. Leo Tolstoy always responded to Russia's most pressing and pressing issues; he was immensely concerned about the fate of the country's citizens. The collection includes three articles by the writer, revealing his gift as a thinker and publicist. 'Come to Your senses!' is an anti-war article. It was written after the start of the Russo-Japanese War and was first published in English due to censorship. In the manifesto 'I Cannot Remain Silent,' the writer resolutely speaks out against the death penalty, and in the article 'The Law of Violence and the Law of Love,' he condemns all violence by some people against others. When discussing war and peace, love and death, faith, duty, and free will today, we cannot do without references to these vivid, polemical texts. The foreword to the book was written by Pavel Basinsky, winner of the Big Book Prize and biographer of Leo Tolstoy.
