Thought-provoking and profound stories from one of the greatest Russian authors
This collection includes some of Leo Tolstoy's extraordinary short stories, from "The Death of Ivan Ilyich" in a masterly new translation, to "The Raid," "The Wood-felling," "Three Deaths," "Polikushka," "After the Ball," and "The Forged Coupon," all gripping and eloquent lessons on two of Tolstoy's most persistent themes: life and death. More experimental than his novels, Tolstoy's stories are essential reading for anyone interested in his development as one of the major writers and thinkers of his time.
