One of Tolstoy's last published works of fiction, The Devil
revolves around the young landowner Yevgeny's irrepressible lust
for Stepanida, a sensual peasant woman. Even when he gets married
to a respectable upper-class lady, he finds himself unable to put
an end to his encounters with Stepanida, and becomes increasingly
consumed by guilt and helplessness in the face of his urges. In
some ways comparable to the controversial Kreutzer Sonata, The
Devil shows Tolstoy at his most salacious, and addresses the
conflicts between desire, social norms and personal conscience.
Also included in this volume is Family Happiness, one of Tolstoy's
earliest works, an entertaining and cynical account of marriage
from the perspective of a disillusioned wife, and A Landowner's
Morning.
