What is it to be done?

This is a book by Leo Tolstoy that I picked arbitrarily, I didn’t know that it would be about poverty, responsibility and socialism, but I found the name catchy (there are multiple works of the same title that I already possess). The book talks about his experience with surrounding poverty, I really loved how smart he was to challenge what was already accepted, and to take responsibility to investigate and instantiate work on it, although of how tremendous and big such a mission (fixing poverty) would sound to anyone, indeed:

I find the conclusions that he arrived at mostly trivial (at least speaking from the current time), but what I find very important to me, is the emotions shared across the book, the responsibility that took place, and the story overall. Here I’m sharing my selections and anthology of the articles from the book.
