Description

The Candle by Leo Tolstoy is a short story about a candle that is lit by a young girl and her mother. The candle is used to light their way during a power outage. The story explores the themes of hope and resilience in the face of adversity. The candle symbolizes the light of hope that can guide us through dark times. The story is a reminder that even when things seem hopeless, we can find strength in each other and in the natural world around us.

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.
