An avid social thinker, he was a supporter of 'Georgism' a revolutionary economic theory that advocated the abolition of all taxes except those on land ownership (see \u003cem\u003eProgress and Poverty\u003c\/em\u003e, Aziloth Book).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBut in early middle age Tolstoy suffered a spiritual crisis, enduring recurrent bouts of religious and moral misgivings which took over three decades to resolve. \u003cem\u003eMy Confession\u003c\/em\u003e (the original title, better known today as \u003cem\u003eA Confession\u003c\/em\u003e) is the great man's account of these trials, of his anguish, confusion and missteps, and of his final reconciliation with faith, Deity and the purpose of life.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis simple, beautifully constructed account of a great writer's spiritual journey will chime with all those who have sought after the true meaning of existence and the transcendent verities lying behind all religious life.
