Two Old Men

We are pleased to present this Trinity Forum Reading, featuring selections from Leo Tolstoy’s “Two Old Men.” 

Most of Tolstoy’s life and writings are “a study in contrast,” according to Alonzo McDonald in his thoughtful introduction. Born into immense wealth and nobility, Tolstoy spent his early years devoted to material pleasures before the brutal realities of the Crimean War shattered his comfortable worldview. Shaken by these experiences, Tolstoy began a lifelong search for meaning and moral clarity, eventually converting to Christianity in his early fifties. Written in the reflective later years of his life, “Two Old Men” is a challenging and delightful story about two neighbors who embark on a pilgrimage together. Through their journey, Tolstoy explores themes ranging from daily habits and personal discipline to family bonds and our responsibilities to others—offering timeless insights for our own pilgrimages through life.
