UNE JOURNÉE DE LA VIE DE TOLSTOÏ
He is a man of unrivaled comfort: a sprawling estate, thousands of livestock, a wife he loves, and thirteen children. Yet one night the world he has built collapses into silence, and he awakens to a hollow that no wealth can fill. The narrative opens with his sudden, inexplicable withdrawal from the very things that once defined him.
As the story unfolds, he drifts through sleepless vigils and restless wanderings, haunted by a darkness that seems to swallow color, laughter, and purpose. In his desperate search for meaning, he confronts the stark possibility that existence itself may be empty, and that even the most solid foundations can crumble under the weight of an unseen void. The book follows his inner struggle, inviting listeners to contemplate faith, doubt, and the fragile line between material triumph and spiritual desolation.
