| Summary | "Where Love is There God is Also" by graf Leo Tolstoy is a novella written in the late 19th century. This literary work reflects on themes of faith, compassion, and the importance of living for a higher purpose. Through the story of a humble shoemaker, Tolstoy explores the concept that true service to God is found in acts of kindness toward others, evoking a moral lesson relevant to humanity. The narrative revolves around Martuin Avdyeitch, a shoemaker in a humble basement who struggles with the loss of his only son, Kapitoshka. Overwhelmed by despair, Martuin questions the purpose of his existence until he meets an old man who nudges him toward the teachings of Christ. As Martuin begins to read the Gospel, he finds solace and transformation. One day, expecting Christ's visit, he opens his window to the world outside, ultimately engaging with various characters including a suffering soldier's wife and a remorseful child thief. In each encounter, Martuin exercises compassion and selflessness, ultimately realizing that in helping others, he discovers the true presence of God within himself, aligning with the message that every act of kindness towards the needy is akin to serving God.
