La Guerre et la Paix, tome 1

Tolstoï a écrit des contes et des histoires vraies en pensant aux enfants des paysans de son domaine d'Iasnaïa-Poliana. Il a composé un recueil de récits gradués accessibles à tous en évitant les inexactitudes et les exagérations dans les faits comme dans les sentiments. Ces textes sont un exemple de ce qu'un grand écrivain peut faire quand il prend au sérieux les enfants.

Little Clothbound Classics: irresistible, mini editions of short stories, novellas and essays from the world's greatest writers, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith. Dmitry Andreich Olenin, in the hope of escaping the hollowness of his privilege, joins the army and heads to the Caucasus. There among the foothills he will meet the Cossacks: a people he considers to be at one with the land. In their company he will hunt, he will drink, he will fall in love and, slowly, he will begin to understand that between people, between cultures, there is often a space that cannot be traversed...'It is the richness of Tolstoy's genius that strikes us most in this story' Virginia Woolf

The Cossacks

La Mort d'Ivan Illitch, suivi de Maître et serviteur, et de Trois morts

Anna Kareninan ja kreivi Vronskin intohimoinen tarina on maailman hienoimpia rakkausromaaneja. Anna Karenina elää ilottomassa avioliitossa ylhäisen pietarilaisen virkamiehen Kareninin kanssa. Kun hän kohtaa elegantin ja miehekkään kaartinupseerin kreivi Vronskin, se merkitsee hänen toimettoman, rauhallisen elämänsä loppua, voittamatonta intohimoa ja huumaavaa onnea, johon kuitenkin kätkeytyy jo tulevan murhenäytelmän siemen. Rakkaustarinan taustalle Tolstoi on luonut unohtumattoman kuvan 1870-luvun Venäjästä, Pietarista ja Moskovasta, maaseudusta aateliskartanoineen ja talonpoikaistiloineen, tsaarinajan kaikista säädyistä, ihmiskohtaloista joita vain hänen kaltaisensa kertojamestari on pystynyt elävöittämään.

Tolstoï Par Tolstoï: Avant Sa Crise Morale (1848-1879) : Autobiographie Épistolaire

Hailed as one of the world's supreme masterpieces on the subject of death and dying, The Death of Ivan Ilyich is the story of a worldly careerist, a high court judge who has never given the inevitability of his dying so much as a passing thought. But one day, death announces itself to him, and to his shocked surprise, he is brought face to face with his own mortality. How, Tolstoy asks, does an unreflective man confront his one and only moment of truth?This short novel was an artistic culmination of a profound spiritual crisis in Tolstoy's life, a nine-year period following the publication of Anna Karenina during which he wrote not a word of fiction.A thoroughly absorbing and, at times, terrifying glimpse into the abyss of death, it is also a strong testament to the possibility of finding spiritual salvation.
