Description

"Father Sergius" is a short story written by Leo Tolstoy between 1890 and 1898 and first published (posthumously) in 1911. An up-and-coming, well-educated Russian military officer is gradually breaking into the highest society; he wins promotions quickly and finds the Tsar's favor. He becomes engaged to a high-class woman whom he loves, but when he finds out she used to sleep with the Tsar, he breaks the engagement and flees to a monastery, pursuing a path of holiness. Several years in, a woman comes to seduce him on a bet. Overcome by lust, he keeps his monastic vows in a rather extreme way: by chopping off his finger to kill his amorous mood. He then becomes revered as a holy man, seems to progress in holiness, and then, years after the first encounter, he's approached by a youngish girl with deep psychological ailments for healing, and he promptly sleeps with her, flees to the Russian countryside, and finds real spirituality in his exile.
We offer you this bilingual English-Russian edition, believing that reading parallel texts and inferring the vocabulary and grammar is a far superior method of language learning than traditional memorization. It is also much less painful.
