Description

Young Masha falls for Sergei, a friend of her late father, and marriage soon tests the thrill of first love against the quieter weather of domestic life. Tolstoy's novella of intimacy, disappointment, and what family happiness really costs. Spoken as when the honeymoon ends and the real house begins.

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.
