Excerpt from The Light That Shines in the Darkness; The Man Who Was Dead; The Cause of It All
When he propounded his interpretation of Christ's teaching, his works produced a profound impression and, though they were prohibited in Russia, found a large circulation abroad besides a surreptitious one at home.
Next he took to writing short, simple stories for the people, and the very first of these, What Men Live By (v. Twenty-three Tales), circulated by hundreds of thousands of copies in Russia, was translated into all civilised languages, and de lighted people, old and young, in the five conti ments.
When he turned his attention to social prob lems, and wrote What Then Must We Do? The book aroused the deepest interest wherever it was read, and was promptly recognised as one of the most remarkable studies of poverty ever penned.
He took to essays, and at once produced a series which many readers have declared to be as interesting and stimulating as any that were ever written.
