stories

In this compilation, which covers the beginning to the last phase of his writing career, Tolstoy brings the richness and sensitivity present in his novels to his stories. Tolstoy's stories, which touch upon universal subjects such as wealth and poverty, happiness and sorrow, nature and art, are masterpieces in themselves. The author deals with the themes of death and mortality, an enigma that he has struggled with throughout his life, in "Three Deaths", a deep and fairy-tale story. "The Master and His Servant", which focuses on the relationship between the Russian nobility and the peasant class, is the story of how merchant Vasili Andreyevich and his servant Nikita, who were caught in a deadly snowstorm on their way to work, discovered themselves and each other during this life-or-death struggle. In this compilation consisting of Tolstoy's eight stories, the reader will have the opportunity to visit the workshop where the masterpieces of world literature were produced. "Tolstoy sometimes reminds me of Paolo Veronese; just like that master painter, he manages to enrich the giant canvas he works on without overcrowding it."
-Oscar Wilde-
