Produktbeschreibung

Father Sergius by Leo Tolstoy is a short story that explores the journey of spiritual awakening and the struggle between pride and humility. Set in the late 19th century, the story centers around a prince who, disillusioned by a personal betrayal, renounces his aristocratic life to become a monk. His quest for genuine spirituality leads him to seek purity and humility within monastic life. However, as he gains recognition for his piety and miracles, he becomes entangled in vanity, the very temptation he sought to escape. The story highlights the internal conflicts faced by the prince as he navigates the complexities of faith, pride, and the desire for authentic spirituality. Ultimately, after a moment of profound moral struggle, he abandons his monastic position and dedicates himself to serving the poor. This transformation reveals the deeper nature of faith and human vulnerability, offering a reflection on how true spirituality is often found in humility and selfless service rather than in outward displays of piety.
