"In the Days of Serfdom" and Other Stories, originally published in
1911, presents in miniature themes developed in Tolstoy's longer
works War and Peace and Anna Karenina. The compelling stories in
this collection have largely been ignored by contemporary scholars
and teachers because of their general unavailability. Available
once again, the stories reveal new thematic and stylisitic
dimensions to Tolstoy's oeuvre. While not all of the stories deal
with actual serfdom, they all address the legacy of serfdom, of
choicelessness, in Tolstoy's Russia. These stories are also
thoroughly modern, concerned as they are with the market economy,
changing values, and women's roles in society. Artistically and
historically significant, they constitute ethical and spiritual
questionings that deal with lives out of control, with characters
making sense of the experience of living.
