1. N. Tolstoy is an artist in front of his novels. In his Kurgusal works, in addition to presenting new artistic disciplines, he brought the different sections of Russia into literature and raised great emphasis in the youth. by Anna Karanina and War and Peace In his novels, he raised the layers of Russian political life and Russian society in the sense of ‘reality’. Tolstoy, however, took his stories in a different style. The stories studied in this study are works that question the meaning of life, seeking to understand the 'self-seeking' of man. In the stories, cases focused on ‘moral searches’, ‘internal journey’. The "seeking of meaning" is assessed in the context of religion and God. In this context, God’s love, in the context of humanism, has addressed the concepts such as unrewardly ‘human love’, ‘canat’, ‘absolute equality of death’, ‘marriage’, ‘unrewardly aid to the poor’, ‘aging’ and ‘consciousness’, ‘resistance’ for the re-establishment of society. Tolstoy, who cannot find the answer to the question "What I live for" in modern science, turns to religion. Tolstoy's efforts to reinterpret the Bible against the Church's Christian concept reflect the stories studied. Jesus’ teaching was joined with universal values and concepts, putting these values into stories with living images from the Russian society. The values mentioned in the name, by taking the pen, Tolstoy feels the effort to prevent moral erosion in the Russian society.
