  • The
  • Russian
  • novelist
  • and
  • moral
  • philosopher
  • Leo
  • Tolstoy
  • (1828-1910)
  • ranks
  • as
  • one
  • of
  • the
  • world's
  • great
  • writers,
  • and
  • his
  • "War
  • and
  • Peace"
  • has
  • been
  • called
  • the
  • greatest
  • novel
  • ever
  • written.
  • The
  • purpose
  • of
  • all
  • true
  • creative
  • art,
  • he
  • believed,
  • is
  • to
  • teach.
  • But
  • the
  • message
  • in
  • all
  • his
  • stories
  • is
  • presented
  • with
  • such
  • humour
  • that
  • the
  • reader
  • hardly
  • realises
  • that
  • it
  • is
  • strongly
  • didactic.
  • The
  • seven
  • parts
  • into
  • which
  • this
  • book
  • is
  • divided
  • include
  • the
  • best
  • known
  • Tolstoy
  • stories.
  • "God
  • Sees
  • the
  • Truth,
  • but
  • Waits"
  • and
  • "A
  • Prisoner
  • in
  • the
  • Caucasus"
  • which
  • Tolstoy
  • himself
  • considered
  • as
  • his
  • best;
  • "How
  • Much
  • Land
  • Does
  • a
  • Man
  • Need?"
  • depicting
  • the
  • greed
  • of
  • a
  • peasant
  • for
  • land;
  • the
  • most
  • brilliantly
  • told
  • parable,
  • "Ivan
  • the
  • Fool"
  • these
  • are
  • all
  • contained
  • in
  • this
  • volume.
