Inhaltsangabe

In this collection, "How Much Land Does a Man Need? And Other Stories," Russian born Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) demonstrates his varied subject matter and style in his shorter fiction. In the title piece, "How Much Land Does a Man Need?," Tolstoy explores this very question through the story of a peasant with an increasing appetite for land. In "What Men Live By," the humble shoemaker Simon sets out to collect money to pay for new coats for the family. "A Spark Neglected Burns the House" is a parable examining the process of reconciliation. Also included are "Two Hussars," "Where Love is," "God Is," "Two Old Men," and "A Prisoner in the Caucasus," some of Tolstoy's finest early work. Though Tolstoy is widely known for "War and Peace" and "Anna Karenina," considered two of the greatest novels in world literature, his short stories remain valuable classics in their own regards.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Leo Nikolayevich Tolstoy (1828-1910) was one of the greatest novelists and moral thinkers of the nineteenth century. Born into a Russian aristocratic family, Tolstoy first achieved international fame through his epic novels War and Peace and Anna Karenina. In midlife, however, he underwent a profound spiritual crisis that led him to question wealth, privilege, and the institutions of church and state.During his later years Tolstoy devoted himself to religious and philosophical writing that explored the ethical teachings of Jesus and the moral responsibilities of the individual. Works such as The Kingdom of God Is Within You, What I Believe, and What Then Must We Do? articulated his belief in nonviolence, simplicity, and the authority of personal conscience.Tolstoy's ideas deeply influenced social reformers and political thinkers around the world, including Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., and continue to shape discussions of nonviolence, Christian ethics, and social justice.
