It is certainly a lot easier to read War and Peace as a hardcover. Having it divided into different volumes would be helpful. However, the previous reviewer is correct in that the print size may appear small for some folks. I recommend seeing the pri nt size and being comfortable with it before you buy the collection; War and Peace is a long book to be uncomfortable and/or sorry about your purchase.Upozornenie: Vzhľadom na častejšie obmeny vydaní tejto knihy v zahraničí, kus, ktorý vám zašleme, n emusí mať rovnakú obálku ako je zobrazená tu.

It is impossible to explain why Yevgeny chose Liza Annenskaya, as it is always impossible to explain why a man chooses this and not that woman.' This collection of eleven stories spans virtually the whole of Tolstoy's creative life. While each is uni que in form, as a group they are representative of his style, and touch on the central themes that surface in War and Peace and Anna Karenina. Stories as different as 'The Snowstorm', 'Lucerne', 'The Diary of a Madman', and 'The Devil' are grounded i n autobiographical experience. They deal with journeys of self-discovery and the moral and religious questioning that characterizes Tolstoy's works of criticism and philosophy. 'Strider' and 'Father Sergy', as well as reflecting Tolstoy's own experie nces, also reveal profound psychological insights. These stories range over much of the Russian world of the nineteenth century, from the nobility to the peasantry, the military to the clergy, from merchants and cobblers to a horse and a tree. Togeth er they present a fascinating picture of Tolstoy's skill and artistry.

Anna is the gracious wife of Karenin, an ageing government official, but when she meets the dashing Count Vronsky she defies society and convention. Love gives way to suffering and tragedy results. Set in Russia, Anna Karenina is one of the finest novels ever written.

Resurrection (1899) is the last of Tolstoy's major novels. It tells the story of a nobleman's attempt to redeem the suffering his youthful philandering inflicted on a peasant girl who ends up a prisoner in Siberia. Tolstoy's vision of redemption achi eved through loving forgiveness, and his condemnation of violence, dominate the novel. An intimate, psychological tale of guilt, anger, and forgiveness, Resurrection is at the same time a panoramic description of social life in Russia at the end of t he nineteenth century, reflecting its author's outrage at the social injustices of the world in which he lived. This edition, which updates a classic translation, has explanatory notes and a substantial introduction based on the most recent scholarsh ip in the field.
