Book Description
Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy (1828-1910) commonly referred to in English as Leo Tolstoy, was a Russian writer - novelist, essayist, dramatist and philosopher - as well as pacifist Christian anarchist and educational reformer. He was the most influential member of the aristocratic Tolstoy family. His first publications were three autobiographical novels, Childhood, Boyhood, and Youth (1852-1856). They tell of a rich landowner's son and his slow realization of the differences between him and his peasants. As a fiction writer Tolstoy is widely regarded as one of the greatest of all novelists, particularly noted for his masterpieces War and Peace (1869) and Anna Karenina (1877). In their scope, breadth and realistic depiction of 19th-century Russian life, the two books stand at the peak of realist fiction.

Book Description
What Is Love? “It is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness. A handsome woman talks nonsense, you listen and hear not nonsense but cleverness. She says and does horrid things, and you see only charm. And if a handsome woman does not say stupid or horrid things, you at once persuade yourself that she is wonderfully clever and moral.” - Leo Tolstoy, The Kreutzer Sonata Upon hearing a woman arguing that marriage should never be arranged and always be subject to love, Pozdnyshev asks: ‘What is love?’ He condemns the argument saying that love doesn’t last forever and can quickly turn into hatred. What is Pozdnyshev’s story? Why doesn’t he believe in love? Xist Publishing is a digital-first publisher.

Book Description
“[A] fanciful, endearing account of his experiences tackling classic works of fiction. . . . There is plenty of hilarity in [this] intimate literary memoir.” —Publishers Weekly Nearing his fortieth birthday, author and critic Andy Miller realized he’s not nearly as well read as he’d like to be. A devout book lover who somehow fell out of the habit of reading, he began to ponder the power of books to change an individual life—including his own—and to the define the sort of person he would like to be. Beginning with a copy of Bulgakov’s Master and Margarita, he embarks on a literary odyssey of mindful reading and wry introspection. From Middlemarch to Anna Karenina to A Confederacy of Dunces, these are books Miller felt he should read; books he’d always wanted to read; books he’d previously started but hadn’t finished; and books he’d lied about having read to impress people. Combining memoir and literary criticism, The Year of Reading Dangerously is Miller’s heartfelt, humorous examination of what it means to be a reader. Passionately believing that books deserve to be read, enjoyed, and debated in the real world, Miller documents his reading experiences and how they resonated in his daily life and ultimately his very sense of self. The result is a witty and insightful journey of discovery and soul-searching that celebrates the abiding miracle of the power of reading. “An affecting tale of the rediscovery of great books . . . [by] a friendly, funny Brit.” —Boston Globe “Funny and engaging.” —Kirkus Reviews “Amiable, circumstantial, amusing, charming. . . . [Miller’s] style owes something . . . to Joe Brainard and David Foster Wallace.” —The Times (London)

Book Description
In the radical and revolutionary new book, Living Violence or Living Love, Damian Westfall not only diagnoses the Christian Church's Pathology but offers also a solution and cure to this terminal disease which the Christian Church is rapidly dying from. Based on an essay by Leo Tolstoy written in Russian in 1908 "The Law of Violence and the Law of Love" Westfall's new book is so potent it makes what Martin Luther nailed to the Wittenberg Door look like child's play.From the Author's Preface: "Upon reading "The Law of Violence and The Law of Love" I suddenly knew the answer as to what was wrong with the church. You see, in this short book, Tolstoy diagnoses the spiritual illness of the false church and the main essence of its pathology. He realized that Christians of today and for the last 2000 years say they believe XYZ and that XYZ is the greatest, most sacred thing in existence and yet they live in exact opposition to XYZ and thus exist in a schizoid life of self-contradiction. This contradiction leads to their inevitable suffering and confusion as to why they are suffering. For Tolstoy this was especially significant concerning violence in the churches and the Christians' embrace of the military and political leaders, and furtherance of violence on the planet, when Christ clearly taught that violence was never an option for Christians. The next thing that radicalized me by Tolstoy was his insistence that Christ's ethics (His moral teachings) should be taken literally and lived out...Suddenly, upon reading this book by Tolstoy, I realized that I had been only raised with half of the Christian experience consisting of just faith and all faith. In these churches I grew up in, legalism was condemned and yet every time I read the gospels, I saw that ethics were one of the main subjects of Christ's teachings, but I never saw anyone live them out. Upon reading Tolstoy's "The Law of Violence and The Law of Love" I received an epiphany and suddenly I got out my Bible and reread the Book of James, in which James says clearly that faith without works is dead. This truism is something so disliked by Christianity that Martin Luther in fact called the Book of James "The Epistle of Straw" and didn't want it incorporated into the Lutheran Bible. But James is right. Faith alone doesn't do anything. You need to live it-live the ethics-to get the full experience of what Christ is promising us and Tolstoy got this. He nailed it. I had never heard anyone talk like this before and "The Law of Violence and The Law of Love" was so radical to me that it makes the Ninety-Five Theses of Martin Luther that he nailed to the Wittenberg door seem like child's play. Upon finishing this book, I was filled with spiritual rapture and release, because Tolstoy had articulated not only what was wrong with the church that I couldn't sum up myself or put my finger on, but also, he had the solution to the problem, which was living Christ's ethics, something that was not stressed or talked about much in church as I was growing up. ""Every work by Damian Westfall is a work of ferocious vision." Cass McCombs, singer-songwriter
