In Father Sergey, the soul of Tolstoy is reflected with more clarity than in any of his other works. In the weaknesses, ambitions, disappointments, and triumphs of the protagonist, we recognize the thoughts, feelings, concerns, and choices of the great classical author.
The author imbues his hero with all the passion and strength he himself harbored, making him experience with the same intensity the feeling of dissatisfaction, doubt, and despair; ultimately, however, he sets him on a quest for redemption, which seemed impossible for him.
This novella, a product of his later creation, not only reveals Tolstoy's philosophy but also the reasons that led this enigmatic figure to choose, at the end of his life, to escape.
