Considered one of the best books ever written, "War and Peace" has remained in the upper echelon of world literature because it masterfully captures an intimate view of humanity on an epic scale. Through the use of fictional narrative, Tolstoy utilizes a huge cast of characters, centering on five aristocratic Russian families in 1805, during the Napoleonic Wars. These characters, particularly Pierre, Prince Andrei, and the beautiful Natasha, demonstrate different human struggles that are affected by their history, present era, and culture. They simultaneously develop the concepts on which Tolstoy expounds in the thematic essays interspersed throughout the narrative: a person's free will and the shaping of historical events, morality in an imperfect world, youth and age, marriage and death, and, of course, war and peace, in a work so groundbreaking that it was not considered a novel when published in 1865. In redefining the fictional novel, Tolstoy's genius has explored what is fundamentally human with scope and Russian spirit. Presented here in this edition is the second of two volumes.

What Is Love? “It is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness. A handsome woman talks nonsense, you listen and hear not nonsense but cleverness. She says and does horrid things, and you see only charm. And if a handsome woman does not say stupid or horrid things, you at once persuade yourself that she is wonderfully clever and moral.” - Leo Tolstoy, The Kreutzer Sonata Upon hearing a woman arguing that marriage should never be arranged and always be subject to love, Pozdnyshev asks: ‘What is love?’ He condemns the argument saying that love doesn’t last forever and can quickly turn into hatred. What is Pozdnyshev’s story? Why doesn’t he believe in love? Xist Publishing is a digital-first publisher.

*Where Love Is, There God Is Also* by Leo Tolstoy is a profound short story that delves into the themes of love, compassion, and the divine presence in everyday life. Set in a humble context, the narrative follows the life of a poor shoemaker named Martin Avdeich, who grapples with feelings of loneliness and despair after the loss of his family. As the story unfolds, Martin has a transformative dream in which he receives a divine message: he will encounter God the next day. Filled with anticipation, he prepares himself to recognize the divine in those he meets. Throughout the day, he encounters various individuals—each struggling with their own hardships. Rather than a grand revelation, Martin discovers that God's presence is manifested in acts of kindness, compassion, and genuine connection with others. Through his interactions with the needy and downtrodden, Martin learns that love is the true essence of divinity, bridging the gap between humanity and God. Tolstoy masterfully weaves a narrative that challenges readers to perceive the sacred in the ordinary, highlighting that every act of love contributes to the greater tapestry of existence. Readers are drawn to *Where Love Is, There God Is Also* for its simplicity and depth. Tolstoy’s eloquent storytelling and moral insights make this work a timeless reflection on the nature of love and spirituality. This book serves as a poignant reminder that love and compassion are pathways to experiencing the divine, encouraging readers to embrace these values in their own lives. Owning a copy of this remarkable tale is an invitation to explore the profound connections that bind us all, making it an essential addition to any literary collection.
