Summary

Tolstoy’s Tales: Early Life and Spiritual Awakening

Written over more than half a century, Tolstoy’s enchanting short stories and novellas reflect every aspect of his developing art and outlook. Volume 1 is dominated by the characteristic experiences of his early life as soldier, land-owner, husband, and father—the life which shaped Anna Karenina and War and Peace. It also includes several short fables which point to his later preoccupation with the religious life.
