'When we read Tolstoy, it feels easy. This is life itself' Howard
Jacobson 'No other writer wrote so often, or so imaginatively,
about the actual moment of dying' Orlando Figes Tolstoy's stories
contain many of the most acutely observed moments in his monumental
body of work. This new selection of his shorter works, sensitively
translated by the award-winning Boris Dralyuk, showcases the
peerless economy with which Tolstoy could render the passions and
conflicts of a life. These are works that take us from a
self-interested judge's agonising deathbed to the bristling social
world of horses in a stable yard, from the joyful vanity of youth
to the painful doubts of sickness and old age. With unwavering
precision, Tolstoy's eye brings clarity and richness to the
simplest materials.
