Widely considered one of the greatest writers of all time, Leo Tolstoy wrote some of the most influential and acclaimed short stories in literature. His works explore deep philosophical ideas and the human experience, and this collection comprises five unabridged recordings of some of his best-loved tales. The titles included here are: The Coffee-House of Surat: Set in a coffee shop in Surat, India, during the 17th century where people of different faiths gather, this story highlights the need for religious tolerance and the importance of avoiding close-mindedness. Master and Man: Vasili Andreyevich, a merchant, and his servant, Nikita, become lost in a snowstorm, where survival hinges not on status but on sacrifice. How Much Land Does a Man Need?: In this sobering reminder of how greed can lead to ruin, Pahom—who already owns enough land to sustain his family—craves more. He decides to go on a quest for more land, only to find that with each new acquisition new problems develop... Alyosha the Pot: The poignant tale of a selfless young man that subtly criticises the way society and familial structures can suppress individuality and emotional fulfilment. Ivan the Fool: A moral fable about a simple-minded but kind-hearted man who outwits the devil and achieves happiness through humility and goodness. Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910) was a Russian novelist, philosopher, and social reformer, widely regarded as one of the greatest writers of all time. He is best known for his epic novels War and Peace and Anna Karenina, both celebrated for their intricate character development and profound exploration of moral dilemmas and human nature. In his later years, Tolstoy experienced a spiritual awakening which led him to reject materialism and embrace a life of simplicity, seeking to align his life with his beliefs about non-violence and compassion. Tolstoy's legacy endures not only through his literary masterpieces but also through his profound impact on literature and philosophy. This audiobook is fully indexed.
