Leo Tolstoy - A Short Story Collection: ""Boredom: the desire for desires.""

Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy was born on September 9th 1828 into Russian nobility but abandoned his title and through his interpretation of the ethical teachings of Jesus became a fervent Christian anarchist and pacifist. His writings on non-violence were to have a profound impact on Gandhi and Martin Luther King. His reputation for many people is based on the epic, in length and scope, of his novel 'War & Peace'. For that alone Tolstoy would be widely considered to be one of the greatest novelists of all time. But such was the breadth of his talents that he was consummate at short stories, essays and plays. Here we publish a collection of his brilliant short stories including such gems as God Sees The Truth, But Waits, Ivan The Fool, Master and Man, What Men Live By and The Young Tsar.
