Produktbeschreibung

Classic Russian short stories, including The Forged Coupon, After the Dance, Alyosha the Pot, My Dream, There are No Guilty People, and the Young Tsar. According to Wikipedia: "As a fiction writer, Tolstoy is widely regarded as one of the greatest of all novelists, particularly noted for his masterpieces War and Peace and Anna Karenina. In their scope, breadth and realistic depiction of 19th-century Russian life, the two books stand at the peak of realist fiction. As a moral philosopher Tolstoy was notable for his ideas on nonviolent resistance through works such as The Kingdom of God is Within You, which in turn influenced such twentieth-century figures as Mohandas K. Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr."

Autorenporträt

Leo Tolstoy was a Russian writer who is regarded as one of the greatest authors of all time. He received nominations for the Nobel Prize in Literature every year from 1902 to 1906 and for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1901, 1902 and 1909 but never won either. Critics of diverse schools have agreed that somehow Tolstoy's works seem to elude all artifice. His name has become synonymous with an appreciation of contingency and of the value of everyday activity. Oscillating between scepticism and dogmatism, Tolstoy explored the most-diverse approaches to human experience.
