Description

In "A Spark Neglected Burns the House," Tolstoy examines the consequences of neglecting a small problem until it becomes a much larger one. He argues that often times, people ignore minor issues until they become major disasters. This is because they fail to see the potential seriousness of the problem or they are simply too lazy to deal with it. As a result, they end up paying a much greater price in the end.

Author

Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910) was born to a titled family at Yasnaya Polyana, served in the Crimean War, and wrote the two novels that made Russian fiction a world event: War and Peace and Anna Karenina. The first holds a nation at war and at home; the second holds a marriage until it breaks. Later he turned from the worldly novel toward essays and moral tales, arguing with church, property, and his own fame. One hundred and six titles here.
