Selected Short Stories: Thrift Editions

Autor Leo Tolstoy, Stanley Appelbaum
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 ian 2018
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.
The Forged Coupon traces how an act of deception leads to both murder and redemption. After the Dance depicts an army deserter's punishment and explores the subjective nature of opinions on good and evil. Alyosha the Pot profiles a simple man content to live according to others' expectations. A Prisoner in the Caucasus undermines the romantic conceptions associated with the region in particular and with war in general. The Bear Hunt forms a cautionary tale of acting in anger; Two Old Men suggests that the best way to honor God is to love and care for other people; additional stories include The Raid, The Snow-Storm, and The Godson.

Descriere

It is universally acknowledged that Tolstoy, author of War and Peace and Anna Karenina, was as much a master of the short story as he was of the full-length novel. This original collection features some of his most hard-to-find tales including the posthumously published "Alyosha the Pot," the two-part novella "The Forged Coupon," and "After the Dance," aka "After the Ball."
