The literary work of Leo Tolstoy repeatedly revolves around the question of the right way to live. In both his stories and his novels, people are either wandering off course or on the path of enlightenment. They either take the helm of their fate once more or relentlessly head towards their misfortune, artfully guided by the great and willful Russian writer. This volume gathers Tolstoy's most famous tales, including 'Master and Man,' 'Hadji Murat,' 'The Death of Ivan Ilyich,' and 'The Kreutzer Sonata.'.
