Leo Tolstoy was one of the world’s greatest novelists, but behind War and Peace and Anna Karenina was a man searching for answers about faith, suffering, violence, death, and the meaning of life. Born into Russian nobility, Tolstoy became a soldier, celebrated writer, teacher, spiritual rebel, and critic of the society that had made him famous.
In this full-length documentary for sleep, explore Tolstoy’s complete philosophical journey—from his childhood at Yasnaya Polyana and experiences in the Caucasus and Sevastopol to the creation of War and Peace, Anna Karenina, his spiritual crisis, religious transformation, excommunication, and final flight from home. Discover his ideas about nonviolence, simple living, organized religion, moral responsibility, and the Kingdom of God within.
Whether you’re interested in Leo Tolstoy, Russian philosophy, the meaning of life, Christian anarchism, nonviolent resistance, War and Peace, Anna Karenina, or simply looking for a relaxing philosophy documentary to fall asleep to, this calm narrative is designed for deep listening, relaxation, and contemplation.
