Banned in Russia, this book was deemed a threat to church and state. The culmination of a lifetime's thought, it espouses a commitment to Jesus's message of turning the other cheek. In a bold and original manner, Tolstoy shows his readers clearly why they must reject violence of any sort - even that sanctioned by the state or the church - and urges them to look within themselves to find the answers to questions of morality.
