Father Sergius

Father Sergius follows a proud prince who seeks holiness in the monastic life, only to find that pride can wear a cassock as easily as a courtier’s coat. Temptation, fame for sanctity, and the long labour of humility form the stations of Tolstoy’s late spiritual tale. It is a story about the self that will not die even when the world has been formally renounced.

This special edition has been created with accessibility in mind. It features a fully adjustable coloured overlay system designed to support readers with Irlen Syndrome, dyslexia, or visual stress. By reducing visual strain and allowing each reader to customise their experience, this edition makes Tolstoy’s austere narrative more comfortable and enjoyable to read.

Rediscover the spiritual struggle and moral intensity of Father Sergius in a format thoughtfully crafted to be more inclusive for all readers.
