Produktbeschreibung
In "What Shall We Do?" Leo Tolstoy presents a reflective essay that delves into the social injustices and disparities faced by the poor in Moscow. Written in the late 19th century, the work critiques the moral implications of wealth and the suffering endured by those in poverty. Tolstoy describes his shock upon encountering the severe destitution around him, particularly the beggars who navigate the streets in desperate circumstances. The law prohibiting begging highlights the stark divide between society's privileges and the plight of the disenfranchised. As Tolstoy documents the lives of the homeless, he emphasizes the lack of compassion in a city filled with resources. Through these observations, the essay explores the responsibility of individuals to address social inequalities and the ethical duty to foster compassion and justice in the face of systemic exploitation. The essay sets the stage for a broader discussion on wealth, morality, and societal change, urging a reconsideration of values and actions to alleviate the suffering of the marginalized.

Autorenporträt
Graf Leo Tolstoy (born September 9, 1828, in Yasnaya Polyana, Russia, and died November 20, 1910) is considered one of the most significant writers in world literature. He is renowned for his works, particularly War and Peace and Anna Karenina, which are seen as pillars of realist fiction. Tolstoy's works are influential in both the literary world and beyond, with themes of morality, spirituality, and social justice. In his later years, Tolstoy underwent a spiritual crisis and distanced himself from the Russian Orthodox Church, advocating for a life of simplicity, nonviolence, and a rejection of materialism, which influenced both his writing and his lifestyle. His work has inspired a broad range of thinkers and writers, including Fyodor Dostoevsky and Alexander Pushkin. Tolstoy married Sophia Tolstaya in 1862, and they had several children. Despite his personal and family struggles, Tolstoy's legacy endures as a deeply influential figure in literature, philosophy, and social thought.
