TOLSTOY, LEO

A new, vibrant translation of Tolstoy's most important short fiction, by the acclaimed translating team whose "War and Peace "was a triumphant best seller. These incandescent stories from the mature author--some autobiographical, others moral parables, and all imaginative, transcendent, and evocatively drawn--include "Hadji Murat," which Harold Bloom called "the best story in the world"; "The Devil," a tale of sexual obsession based on Tolstoy's own relationship with a married peasant woman on his estate in the years before his marriage; the celebrated title story, an intense and moving examination of death and the possibilities of redemption; and seven others. Pevear and Volokhonsky's translation captures the richness, immediacy, and multiplicity of Tolstoy's language and reveals the author as a passionate moral guide, an unflinching seeker of truth, and a creator of enduring and universal art.
