About this book
This comprehensive collection gathers Tolstoy's short fiction across decades of moral searching and artistic mastery. From early army tales and Caucasus sketches to late parables of conscience, the volume includes celebrated novellas, moral fables, and stories of peasants, soldiers, and aristocrats confronting truth, death, and desire. Tolstoy writes with plain force, scenes of snow, courtship, battle, and domestic quarrel rendered so vividly they feel immediate. Whether you come for a single famous novella or to explore the full range of his shorter work, this anthology offers a portable library of one of the world's greatest novelists at his most concentrated.
