This collection brings together stories and reflections in which Leo Tolstoy turns inward.

Stripped of grandeur, these works offer something more intimate: the inner noise of conscience, the weight of faith, the silence before death.

A servant's silence, a horse's memory, a dying man's doubt—these are not performances.

They are questions, waiting quietly for whoever dares to ask the same.

Tolstoy isn't offering answers. He's writing toward something deeper. And the questions haven't aged a day.
