 DescriptionBut the message in all his stories is presented with such humour that the reader hardly realises that it is strongly didactic. The seven parts into which this book is divided include the best known Tolstoy stories. God Sees the Truth, but WaitsA" and A Prisoner in the CaucasusA" which Tolstoy himself considered as his best; How Much Land Does a Man Need?A" depicting the greed of a peasant for land; the most brilliantly told parable, Ivan the FoolA" - these are all contained in this volume. Author descriptionLove is life. All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love. Everything is, everything exists, only because I love. Everything is united by it alone. Love is God, and to die means that I, a particle of love, shall return to the general and eternal source.A" -Leo Tolstoy |
