'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 unique 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 in 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 experiences, 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. Together they present a fascinating picture
of Tolstoy's skill and artistry. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100
years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range
of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume
reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most
accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including
expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to
clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and
much more.
