| Summary | "My Visit to Tolstoy": Five Discourses by Joseph Krauskopf is a collection of philosophical and social reflections written in the early 20th century. The book documents the author's encounters and dialogues with the renowned Russian author Leo Tolstoy during Krauskopf's visit to Russia, intended to address the persecution of Jews. It captures the essence of Tolstoy's thoughts on morality, government, and the human condition, showcasing the profound impact of this legendary figure on those who sought social reform and justice. In the discourses, Krauskopf narrates his courageous journey to Russia and his remarkable meeting with Tolstoy at Yasnaya Polyana. Throughout their conversations, Tolstoy shares his views on the state of the Russian Empire, the nature of true Christianity, and the plight of the poor and downtrodden. He emphasizes the importance of compassion over patriotism and advocates for a life of simplicity and agriculture as the path toward solving social issues, particularly for persecuted Jews. Krauskopf reflects on Tolstoy's prophetic wisdom, his rejection of wealth, and his lifelong commitment to alleviating human suffering. Ultimately, the book serves as a tribute to Tolstoy's enduring legacy as a moral philosopher and humanitarian. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
