What Men Live By and Other Tales : Stories of Compassion, Faith, and the Meaning of Life

What if one quiet story could change how you see the world?

What Men Live By and Other Tales brings together Leo Tolstoy’s most soul-stirring parables in a newly accessible modern translation.

These stories—rooted in compassion, humility, and divine presence—speak directly to the heart.

What you'll discover inside:

● What Men Live By – An angel disguised as a man learns three truths about the soul through human suffering and love

● Where Love Is, There God Is Also – A lonely cobbler discovers sacred beauty in small, everyday acts of kindness

● The Three Questions – A king learns that the present moment, not ambition, holds all the answers

● How Much Land Does a Man Need? – A fable of greed, mortality, and the cost of never being satisfied

● The Candle – A short tale of hidden faith and quiet spiritual resistance

With its elegant simplicity and moving lessons, this audiobook is perfect for thoughtful listening on peaceful walks, reflective mornings, or winding down in the evening.

Experience the timeless light of Tolstoy’s wisdom—one story at a time.
