"Father Sergius" by graf Leo Tolstoy is a short story written between 1890 and 1898. After discovering his fiancée's affair with the Tsar, proud Prince Stepan Kasatsky abandons his promising future to become a monk. Despite years of spiritual devotion and growing fame as a holy hermit and healer, he struggles with inner weakness, pride, and desire. His journey takes him from self-mutilation to resist temptation, through devastating failure, and finally toward
an unexpected path of humble service and redemption. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
