Tolstoy

Russian novelist and philospher Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) is best known for his monumental novels War and Peace and Anna Karenina, but his reputation as a master of short fiction is richly evident in this unparalleled anthology. Here, in the largest one-volume collection available, are 36 stories of war, intrigue, treachery, murder, moral turmoil, spiritual anguish, and occasional redemption. They include early stories like the famed "e;Sevastopol"e; tales of warfare and "e;Lost on the Steppe;"e; the tour de force novellas "e;The Death of Ivan Ilyitch"e; and "e;The Kreutzer Sonata;"e; as well as folk tales, parables, realistic tales, and many lesser-known gems.
