Russian novelist and philospher Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) is best known for his monumental novels War and Peace and Anna Karenina, but his reputation as a master of short fiction is richly evident in this unparalleled anthology. Here, in the largest one-volume collection available, are 36 stories of war, intrigue, treachery, murder, moral turmoil, spiritual anguish, and occasional redemption. They include early stories like the famed "Sevastopol" tales of warfare and "Lost on the Steppe;" the tour de force novellas "The Death of Ivan Ilyitch" and "The Kreutzer Sonata;" as well as folk tales, parables, realistic tales, and many lesser-known gems.
During his remarkable life, Charles Neider (1915-2001) edited many books, including Antarctica: Firsthand Accounts of Exploration and Endurance, The Selected Letters of Mark Twain, Life As I Find It: A Treasury of Mark Twain Rarities, Essays of the Masters, and many others. In addition to these titles, Cooper Square Press has also published Neider's The Grotto Berg: Two Novellas. His memoir Adam's Burden: An Explorer's Personal Odyssey Through Prostate Cancer was published earlier this year by Madison Books.
