The ten stories collected in this volume demonstrate Tolstoy's
artistic prowess displayed over five decades experimenting with
prose styles and drawing on his own experiences with humour,
realism and compassion. Inspired by his experiences in the army,
The Two Hussars' contrasts a dashing father and his mean-spirited
son. Illustrating Tolstoy's belief that art must serve a moral
purpose, What Men Live By' portrays an angel sent to earth to learn
three existential rules of life, and Two Old Men' shows a peasant
abandoning his pilgrimage to the Holy Land in order to help his
neighbours. And in the highly moving Master and Man', Tolstoy
depicts a mercenary merchant travelling with his unprotesting
servant through a blizzard to close a business deal little
realizing he may soon have to settle accounts with his maker.
