Mental illness though can still carry a stigma. A case of ‘you’re not trying hard enough’, ‘or knuckling down and getting on with it’. But in more recent decades mental issues have come to be recognised as an illness, a disease rather than an affliction. We all remember horror stories of lobotomy’s and electric shock being used to ‘cure’ what society viewed as anti-social behaviour but illness, mental or physical is very real. Depression, schizophrenia, breakdown, psychosis are alarming events to have or to witness.

War and Peace is a literary work mixed with chapters on history and philosophy by the Russian author Leo Tolstoy. Book 15: 1812-13: When seeing a dying animal a man feels a sense of horror: substance similar to his own is perishing before his eyes.

They described the activity of individuals who ruled the people, and regarded the activity of those men as representing the activity of the whole nation.

Leo Tolstoy's "A Confession," written in 1882 shortly after a life-altering spiritual crisis, is a brutally sincere reflection on life, morality, and the nature of faith. Tolstoy describes in great detail the process by which he lost his faith in established Christian churches, the meaninglessness of wealth and fame, the agony of acute depression, and how he overcame misery and dread through personal study of the teachings of Jesus Christ. Along the way, he contrasts the artificial faith and arrogance of educated people with the genuine faith and humility of the Russian peasant. This work, and...

He was a radical follower of Jesus Christ's teachings, particularly as found in the Sermon on the Mount (including Christ's controversial admonitions to "...

Diese Novelle gilt in der Literatur als die "die gewaltigste Sterbegeschichte, die jemals geschrieben wurde". Das Thema des Todes ist das Zentrum, die beklemmend-eindringliche Schilderung dieses Weges zum Tod, die tragische Geschichte eines erfolgreichen Menschen in der Blüte seines Lebens.

Das ist die Geschichte der adligen Familie Karenin, einer dekadenten, in gesellschaftlichen Normen erstarrten Sippe. Die Kälte ihres Gatten treibt die sensible Anna dem wesentlich jüngeren Grafen Wronskij in die Arme. Diese stark sexuell orientierte Beziehung endet im Fiasko. Schließlich richtet Anna sich selbst, aber auch ihren Mann und den Geliebten zugrunde. In der anderen großen Figur des Romans, dem Gutsbesitzer Lewin, hatte sich Tolstoi selbst verewigt. Nach "Krieg und Frieden" war dies der zweite große Roman seines Lebens und begründete damit seinen Weltruhm als Schriftsteller.
