The Greatest Short Stories of Leo Tolstoy (Paperback)

Tolstoy's short fiction carries the same moral pressure as his novels at a fraction of the length, which is what makes a collected volume like this one worth keeping. Gathering the stories into 640 paperback pages puts the peasant tales, the late moral fables and the longer novellas within reach of a single bookmark. Readers who find the big Russian novels daunting often begin here instead, since each story sets its own scene and finishes it. Inside the collection: • 640 pages of Tolstoy's short fiction in one paperback • brief tales and longer novellas held in the same volume • every story self-contained and readable in any order • an entry point for readers new to Russian literature Recommended for students of Russian literature and readers of short fiction, published by Fingerprint! Publishing and stocked at Boipoka.
