Infos

It is universally acknowledged that Leo Tolstoy, author of War and Peace and Anna Karenina, was as much a master of the short story as of the full-length novel. This original collection, which features some of his most hard-to-find tales, will enchant longtime enthusiasts of Tolstoy's work as well as new readers."e;The Forged Coupon"e; traces how an act of deception leads to both murder and redemption. "e;After the Dance"e; depicts an army deserter's punishment and explores the subjective nature of opinions on good and evil. "e;Alyosha the Pot"e; profiles a simple man content to live according to others' expectations. "e;A Prisoner in the Caucasus"e; undermines the romantic conceptions associated with the region in particular and with war in general. "e;The Bear Hunt"e; forms a cautionary tale of acting in anger; "e;Two Old Men"e; suggests that the best way to honor God is to love and care for other people; additional stories include "e;The Raid,"e; "e;The Snow-Storm,"e; and "e;The Godson."e;
