Description

"Family Happiness" unfolds the intimate narrative of Masha, a young woman whose journey into love begins with the thrill of romance with Sergei, a friend of her late father. As their relationship evolves from ardent love to marriage, Tolstoy delves into the complexities that weave through domestic life, examining the shifts in intimacy, happiness, and the search for meaning within the bonds of family. This poignant novella offers a deep reflection on the evolving nature of love and the true essence of familial bliss.

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.
