A Confession
''A Confession'' (Reforms of Russian orthography, pre-reform Russian: ; post-reform rus, Исповедь, Íspovedʹ), or ''My Confession'', is a short work on the subject of melancholia, philosophy and religion by the Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy. It was written in 1879 to 1880, when Tolstoy was in his early fifties. Content The book is a brief autobiographical story of the author's struggle with a mid-life existential crisis. It describes his search for the answer to the ultimate philosophical question: "If God does not exist, since death is inevitable, what is the meaning of life?." Without the answer to this, for him, life had become "impossible". The story begins with the Eastern fable of the dragon in the well. A man is chased by a beast into a well, at the bottom of which is a dragon. The man clings to a branch that is being gnawed on by two mice (one black, one white, representing night and day and the relentless march of time). The man is able to lick two drops ...

Peter Dronke goes even as far as to call the Archpoet Hugh's "''brillante discepolo e successore''" ( Dronke 2007: 137), brilliant disciple and successor. he is cited as the best exemplar of Goliardic poetry and one of the stellar poets of the Latin Middle Ages.
