Excellent!! Wow this was a great read—not typically my cup of tea, but I ended up enjoying learning so much more about him. (Even learned a new vocab word: amaranthine! Nicely used)

It does indeed make you reflect on how a man can achieve so much intellectually, emotionally and spiritually and then to arrive at the final conclusion of renouncing even family….that was a hard one for me to understand/appreciate.

I’ve never studied Tolstoy. Thanks for reminding me—I should. Good read!!
