About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Father Sergius, by Leo Tolstoy. Translated by Louise and Aylmer Maude. Read by James E. Carson. Prince Stepan Kasatsky experiences a disappointment with his fiancé and decides to become a monk! There is a story line, but beneath it, Father Sergius struggles to find peace and, if not happiness, then at least contentment. But he is always disillusioned and ultimately unsatisfied. Only in the end does he find his way by letting go of what he struggled to attain all his life, i.e. to be better than everyone else in whatever he did, and settle for the mundane. (Summary by JCarson)
