Tolstoy Selected Stories by Leo Tolstoy
3.0
It's been a pleasure to revisit Tolstoy's works again. This compilation of short stories is a refreshing change from his longer works like Anna Karenina and War and Peace, which I've read more than 7 years ago.
True to his style though, the stories had social commentary but these stories seemed more didactic and a call to return to religion, perhaps written at a time when Tolstoy turned to his religious side/had religious fervor.
Repentance, kindness and good behaviour are recurring themes across the stories. While they may not be his best works, if you enjoy his writing, you'd probably not wanna miss out on these stories.
