Overview

"The Kreutzer Sonata and Other Stories" gathers six of Tolstoy's best brief tales into one release. In "How Much Land Does a Man Need?", Tolstoy investigates this very question through the tale of a worker with a rising craving for land- - a hunger that turns into his ruin. "The Death of Ivan Ilyich", one of Tolstoy's short stories, recounts the early demise of a high-court judge in nineteenth-century Russian. "Family Happiness" investigates the female personality inside changing close connections with her loved ones. Described as a personal narrative by the heroine Masha, the story is a gifted and engaging tale of a lady's troublesome situation in a constantly changing society. "The Kreutzer Sonata" is a serious story of adoration, marriage, sex, and desire. At first, restricted by the Russian controls, the novella has given birth to many movies, theater creations, and compositions. In "The Devil", Evgeni Irtenev battles with another legacy filled with obligations when abrupt sentiment and desire take steps to flip around his reality. Ultimately, "Father Sergius" recounts a youthful blue-blood, endless supply of his life partner's betrayal, withdraws into the existence of a devout Orthodox Christian, however, this profoundly new life ends up being troublesome. This depiction of brief tales displays why Leo Tolstoy is viewed as one of the world's most prestigious creators. This release is imprinted on premium corrosive free paper.
