Leo Tolstoy – What Men Live By (İnsan Ne ile Yaşar) – Timaş Yayınları Edition (2004)

Description:

This is the 2004 Turkish edition of What Men Live By (İnsan Ne ile Yaşar), published by Timaş Yayınları. Written by Leo Tolstoy, the story is one of his most famous moral tales, written during his later philosophical period.

The narrative follows a poor shoemaker named Simon, who encounters a mysterious stranger (the angel Michael) while facing hardship. Through a series of simple but profound events, the story reveals three essential truths about human life: what dwells in every person, what is not given to humans, and what men truly live by. The work emphasizes compassion, love, kindness, and the idea that humans are ultimately sustained not by material wealth but by spiritual and moral values.

Leo Tolstoy is one of the greatest writers in world literature, known for his epic novels and his later philosophical and religious teachings. In his later years, he focused strongly on moral simplicity, non-violence, and spiritual truth. What Men Live By reflects these beliefs in a simple, parable-like form.

This Timaş Yayınları edition presents a Turkish translation of Tolstoy’s short story, making it accessible to modern readers. As a moral and spiritual tale, it remains one of his most widely read works.
