abstract="Tolstoy's life and work illustrate resilience, the transcendence of trauma and the enduring impact of childhood loss. I have chosen the famous oak tree passage from War and Peace to illustrate recovery from the self-preoccupation of depression and the theme of 'eco-spirituality' - the idea that post-depressive connectedness and love apply not just to significant others but also to nature and the environment.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
