Bethink Yourselves (1904)

Bethink Yourselves is a philosophical work by Leo Tolstoy, first published in 1904. In this book, Tolstoy reflects on the state of the world at the turn of the 20th century and offers his thoughts on how individuals can live a meaningful life. He argues that people have lost sight of their true purpose and have become too focused on material possessions and power. Tolstoy advocates for a return to a simpler way of life, one that is focused on compassion, love, and self-reflection. He also discusses the role of violence in society and the need for nonviolent resistance to injustice. The book is written in a conversational style, with Tolstoy addressing the reader directly and inviting them to think deeply about their own lives and the world around them. Bethink Yourselves is considered a classic of Tolstoy's later works and is still relevant today as a call to live a more conscious and compassionate life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
