Overview

Containing several of his well-known later short stories, this volume also includes tales from Tolstoy's early years in the Russian Army, a time of his life when he was already exploring the profound moral questions of war, love, and courage.

A few, such as "Where Love Is, God Is" and "What Men Live By", have had such a deep impact on our communities that we have performed them as plays. All these works are characterized by freshness and an almost biblical simplicity.

About the Author, Leo Tolstoy

One of the great masters of the 19th-century novel, Tolstoy created a sweeping epic in War and Peace which folds together huge events in history and politics with the emotional lives of individuals. But it was his deeply spiritual outlook that made him an icon.
