A Calendar of Wisdom
A Calendar of Wisdom | Leo Tolstoy, Roger Cockrell
4 posts | 2 read | 1 reading | 6 to read
New translation of Tolstoy's last major work, which he considered "his greatest contribution to mankind." Over the last fifteen years of his life, Tolstoy collected and published the maxims of some of the world's greatest masters of philosophy, religion and literature, adding his own contributions to various questions that preoccupied him in old age, such as faith and existence, as well as matters of everyday life. Banned in Russia under Communism, A Calendar of Wisdom was Tolstoy's last major work, and one of his most popular both during and after his lifetime. This new translation by Roger Cockrell will offer today's generation of readers the chance to discover, day by day, these edifying and carefully selected pearls of wisdom.

I don‘t know exactly why I‘m reading this. It‘s heavily religious (and anti-materialist). I‘m not religious in this kind of way at all. But it appeared. A selection of quotes for each day. So I‘ve been page through, trying to catch up to today.

Of various books I have tried for inspiration, this is the ONE. Apparently Tolstoy's last, great work was to combine quotes and thoughts from literature, religion, and philosophy into this book of days. Each page has a date but can be used perpetually. Quotes and themes are spot-on, surprising, and #thoughtprovoking. Excellent for dipping in as needed. Lives on the nightstand year after year just in case.
