Sinopsis

For some weeks Father Sergius had been living with one persistent thought: whether he was right in accepting the position by the Archimandrite and the Abbot. That position had begun after the recovery of the fourteen-year-old boy. From that time, with each month, week, and day that ed, Sergius felt his own inner life wasting away and being replaced by external life.Father Sergius is a classic example of Tolstoy's talent as a storyteller. The characters engage in a process of self-discovery that ultimately leads them to some higher truth about life.
