From single-paragraph fables and apologues to long stories on the threshold of the novella, the sixty-seven pieces collected in this volume make up a broad and meaningful selection of Tolstoy's short story. From 1857 to 1909, including inescapable texts such as The Prisoner of the Caucasus, History of a horse, Father Sergio or The Devil along with others practically unknown in Spanish such as the stories of the New Alphabet, The memories of a madman, Buddha or Divine and human Without forgetting How Much Land a Man Needs (according to Joyce, the best story ever written), this anthology prepared and translated by Víctor Gallego covers Tolstoy's narrative trajectory in all its crucial phases and styles.
About the Author:
Liev Nikolayevich Tolstoy is considered, along with Dostoevsky, the most important Russian writer of the second half of the 19th century. A member of a family of the old nobility, his childhood and adolescence were spent between Moscow, the great family estate of Yásnaia Poliana and Kazan, in whose university he enrolled in 1844. He participated in the war in the Caucasus and was an artillery officer.
