Sinopsis

&ldquo,The Kreutzer Sonata and Other Stories&rdquo, collects six of Tolstoy&rsquo,s finest short stories into one edition. In &ldquo,How Much Land Does a Man Need?&rdquo,, Tolstoy explores this very question through the story of a peasant with an increasing appetite for land&mdash,an appetite which becomes his ruin. &ldquo,The Death of Ivan Ilyich&rdquo,, one of Tolstoy&rsquo,s short masterpieces, tells of the early death of a high-court judge in 19th century Russian. &ldquo,Family Happiness&rdquo, explores the female identity within changing romantic relationships. Narrated in first person by the protagonist Masha, the tale is a skilled and engrossing story of a woman&rsquo,s difficult position in a shifting society. &ldquo,The Kreutzer Sonata&rdquo, is an intense tale of love, marriage, sex, and jealousy. Initially banned by the Russian censors, the novella has inspired many films, theater productions, and paintings. In &ldquo,The Devil&rdquo,, Evgeni Irtenev struggles with a new inheritance riddled with debts when sudden romance and lust threaten to turn his world upside down. Lastly, &ldquo,Father Sergius&rdquo, tells of a young aristocrat who, upon discovery of his fiancé&rsquo,s infidelity, retreats into the life of a monastic Orthodox Christian, though this radically new life proves to be difficult. This representative collection of short stories exhibits why Leo Tolstoy is considered one of the world&rsquo,s most renowned authors. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
