THE GREATEST SHORT STORIES OF LEO TOLSTOY


The Russian novelist and moral philosopher Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) ranks as one of the world's great writers and his "War and Peace" has been called the greatest novel ever written. The purpose of all true creative art, he believed, is to teach. But the message in all his stories is presented with such humor that the reader hardly realizes that it is strongly didactic. The seven parts into which this book is divided include the best known Tolstoy stories. "God Sees the Truth, but Waits" and "A Prisoner in the Caucasus" which Tolstoy himself considered as his best, "How Much Land Does a Man Need?" depicting the greed of a peasant for land, the most brilliantly told parable, "Ivan the Fool" these are all contained in this volume.

SHORT STORIES OF CHARLES DICKENS


Charles Dickens is known not only for his novels, but also for his short stories, particularly "*A Christmas Carol*", "*The Cricket on the Hearth*", "*The Battle of Life*" and "*The Haunted Man*" which were all written for the Christmas market, and lay emphasis on family love and the delights of home. But there is more to these stories than surface sentimentality: their eager anticipation by a whole nation tells us much about the age Dickens lived in and these stories never would have survived without roots and power. Dickens portrays his characters in such a realistic manner that they appear to be life-like. Most of his stories had Christmas as a theme that led to the incidental creation of Christmas genre in the Victorian era. With his imaginative skills and fictional plots, Dickens has never failed to amaze his readers, irrespective of their age group.
