The Modern Library edition of Short Stories by Leo Tolstoy gathers some of his most enduring tales, presenting a panorama of human struggle, morality, and spiritual awakening.
Tolstoys short fiction ranges from stark depictions of war and peasant life to parables probing the meaning of faith and justice. Stories such as The Death of Ivan Ilyich, How Much Land Does a Man Need?, and God Sees the Truth, But Waits confront mortality, greed, and forgiveness with piercing clarity. Others, like Alyosha the Pot and After the Ball, illuminate the quiet dignity of ordinary lives and the moral crises sparked by seemingly small events. Across these works, Tolstoy distills the essence of his philosophy: that true worth lies not in wealth or social standing but in compassion, humility, and spiritual surrender. The Modern Library collection offers readers both the breadth of his storytelling and the depth of his moral vision, making it a gateway into the heart of Russian literature and Tolstoys lifelong search for truth.
