"Let's just say that Tolstoy is transcendent, and that we are grateful he lived long enough to endow us with his grand inheritance." -- THOMAS KENEALLY, author of Schindler's List

'A Calendar of Wisdom' by Leo Tolstoy is a timeless daily devotional that offers profound spiritual insights for every day of the year. First published in 1904, this carefully curated collection reflects Tolstoy's deep philosophical and moral inquiries in the final years of his life. Drawing on wisdom from across cultures and centuries -- featuring voices such as Socrates, the Bible, Marcus Aurelius, Confucius, and Eastern sages -- Tolstoy weaves together a rich tapestry of thought that speaks to the human soul.
Each daily entry is centered around a theme like kindness, death, humility, or purpose, combining excerpts from great thinkers with Tolstoy's own contemplations. The result is a book that not only nourishes the mind but also calls the reader to live more thoughtfully and ethically.
Unlike Tolstoy's epic novels, this work is compact and meditative, showing the author's skill in distilling complex ideas into accessible daily reflections. Banned in the Soviet era but rediscovered in recent decades, A Calendar of Wisdom remains a source of daily inspiration, moral clarity, and inner peace for readers seeking guidance in a chaotic world.
