Walk in the Light and Twenty-Three Tales

Uncluttered by the complexities of plot and character that daunt so many readers of the longer Russian masterpieces, Tolstoy's tales illumine eternal truths with the forceful brevity.

The Kreutzer Sonata and Other Short Stories (Dover Thrift Editions)

One of the world's greatest novelists, Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910) also wrote numerous excellent short stories, three of which are contained in this volume.
