About the book

This collection brings together shorter fiction by Leo Tolstoy, one of the great writers of nineteenth-century Russia. Tolstoy's tales often focus on ordinary people and moral choices, exploring themes such as greed, compassion, faith, family and the search for a meaningful life. His apparently simple narratives frequently lead to profound questions about human behaviour and responsibility.
