Description

"The Forged Coupon, and Other Stories" is a collection that showcases Tolstoy's unerring skill in dissecting the human condition. At its heart, the titular story follows the ripple effects of a single immoral act—a forged coupon—through society, mapping the vast, interconnected web of human actions and their consequences. With lucid prose, Tolstoy examines themes of redemption, the nature of evil, and the ultimate power of good. This compilation is a testament to the transformative potential of compassion and moral awakening in everyday life.

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.
