Work While Ye Have The Light is a book written by the famous Russian author, Leo Tolstoy, and was first published in 1890. The book is a collection of Tolstoy’s essays and speeches on various topics, including religion, philosophy, politics, and social issues.The title of the book is derived from a biblical passage that urges people to work while they have the light, which is a metaphor for the opportunity to do good in the world. Tolstoy uses this idea as a central theme throughout the book, arguing that people should use their time and talents to help others and make the world a better place.In the book, Tolstoy also explores his ideas about the nature of God, the meaning of life, and the importance of living a simple and humble existence. He criticizes the excesses of modern society, including materialism and consumerism, and advocates for a return to traditional values and a focus on spiritual growth.Overall, Work While Ye Have The Light is a thought-provoking and inspiring book that offers insights into Tolstoy’s philosophy and worldview. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the works of this great Russian writer and thinker.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
