see what some general readers have volunteered about this title at
amazon.com.
One reader, for example, says: "I first read, A Confession,
more than 15 years ago, when as a confused teenager, I was looking
for some meaning to my life. Who hasn't gone through this? Immediately
after reading this book, I felt a sense of relief that someone had
put into words that which is always in the back of all our minds:
The question of, What is the Meaning of Life? A Confession is a simple,
straightforward account of Tolstoy's religious and spiritual crisis
at the age of 50, when his family, fame, wealth, etc., lost meaning
for him..."
