Description

Leo Tolstoy's short story "The Imp and The Crust" is a narrative of moral ambiguity and societal dysfunction. It follows the protagonist, an impish creature, as he attempts to navigate the complex ethical terrain of his world. Through its exploration of duality and morality, the work reflects on the various tensions that arise when human nature is pitted against a rigid system of legalistic rules.

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.
