✦ Synopsis

The Kingdom of God is Within You Leo Tolstoy's The Kingdom of God is Within You (1894) is the result of his reflections on his Christian beliefs. The work addresses Tolstoy's separation of Orthodox Russian Christianity from the true message of Christ in the Gospels, which he regards as is a complete code of life for believers. His political philosophy of non-violence and his hatred for compulsory military service introduced in Russia are the main practical concerns of the book. Leo Tolstoy was a Russian novelist and moral philosopher noted for his ideas of nonviolent resistance. His diary reveals an incessant pursuit of a morally justified life. He was known for his generosity to the peasants.His best known novels are War and Peace (1869), which Tolstoy regarded as an epic rather than a novel, and Anna Karenina (1877). His work was admired in his time by Dostoyevsky, Checkov, Turgenev, and Flaubert, and later by Virginia Woolf and James Joyce.
