In \"The Death of Ivan Ilych\" (1886), a symbolic Everyman discovers the inner light of faith and love only when confronted by death. \"How Much Land Does a Man Need?\" (1886) is a simple, didactic story of peasant life, written by Tolstoy in the wake of a spiritual crisis. All three tales offer readers a splendid introduction to Tolstoy's work as well as the focused delights of the short story form brought to a pinnacle in the hands of a master. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNovelist, essayist, dramatist, and philosopher, Count Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) is most famous for his sprawling portraits of 19th-century Russian life, as recounted in \u003ci\u003eAnna Karenina\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eWar and Peace.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 144\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.37 x 8.26 x 5.24 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 13, 1993\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51756131975456,"sku":"9780486278056","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/8e88367b2b804a05c86ee6a17c95bfe9.webp?v=1780075132","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-kreutzer-sonata-and-other-short-stories-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
