<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Three great stories offer profound insights into human behavior and motivation. Title story plus How Much Land Does a Man Need? and The Death of Ivan Ilych. Explanatory footnotes.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>One of the world's greatest novelists, Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) also wrote numerous excellent short stories, three of which are contained in this volume. The Kreutzer Sonata (1891) is a penetrating study of jealousy as well as a splenetic complaint about the way in which society educates young men and women in matters of sex. In The Death of Ivan Ilych (1886), a symbolic Everyman discovers the inner light of faith and love only when confronted by death. How Much Land Does a Man Need? (1886) is a simple, didactic story of peasant life, written by Tolstoy in the wake of a spiritual crisis. All three tales offer readers a splendid introduction to Tolstoy's work as well as the focused delights of the short story form brought to a pinnacle in the hands of a master. <p/></p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Novelist, essayist, dramatist, and philosopher, Count Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) is most famous for his sprawling portraits of 19th-century Russian life, as recounted in <i>Anna Karenina</i> and <i>War and Peace.</i>
