Summary

In "The Kingdom of God Is Within You," Leo Tolstoy presents a profound exploration of spirituality, morality, and the human condition, weaving a narrative that is both challenging and enlightening. The book, published in 1894, diverges from conventional religious discourse, urging readers to embrace a philosophy rooted in selflessness and love rather than dogma and ritual. Tolstoy'Äôs distinct literary style combines aphoristic clarity with passionate advocacy for nonviolent resistance, echoing his later influences, including Jainism, Buddhism, and the teachings of Jesus. Within its pages, the text serves as a spiritual manifesto, reflecting Tolstoy's grappling with existential questions and his rejection of materialism prevalent in Russian society of the time. Leo Tolstoy, one of the most prominent figures in world literature, is renowned for his masterpieces, particularly "War and Peace" and "Anna Karenina." His personal journey'Äîfrom a life of aristocratic privilege to one of ascetic simplicity'Äîshaped his views on faith and humanity. After a spiritual crisis in the 1870s, Tolstoy faced a transformation that propelled him to advocate for a life of moral integrity and inner peace, firmly believing that this redemption lies within. This book is not just a reading; it is an invitation to introspection and a call to ethical living. Readers seeking spiritual depth and moral clarity will find Tolstoy's ideas resonate powerfully in contemporary society. Suitable for both the seasoned scholar and the curious seeker, "The Kingdom of God Is Within You" challenges us to rethink our lives through the lens of love and compassion.

    A brilliant and bloody examination of the axe's foundational role in human history, from prehistoric violence, to war and executions, to newspaper headlines and popular culture.For as long as the axe has been in our hands, we have used it to kill.Much like the wheel, the boat, and the telephone, the axe is a transformative piece of technology—one that has been with us since prehistory. And just as early humans used the axe to chop down trees, hunt for food, and whittle tools, they also used it to murder. Over time, this particular use has endured: as the axe evolved over centuries to fit the needs of new agricultural, architectural, and social development, so have our lethal uses for it.Whack Job is the story of the axe, first as a convenient danger and then an anachronism, as told through the murders it has been employed in throughout history: from the first axe murder nearly half a million years ago, to the brutal harnessing of the axe in warfare, to its use in King Henry VIII's favorite method of execution, to Lizzie Borden and the birth of modern pop culture. Whack Job sheds brilliant light on this familiar implement, this most human of weapons. This is a critical examination of violence, an exploration of how technology shapes human conflict, the cruel and sacred rituals of execution and battle, and the ways humanity fits even the most savage impulses into narratives of the past and present.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.
