Summary:
Tolstoy’s final novella, The Forged Coupon is an ingenious study of
the destructive powers of evil set against a brilliant depiction of
Russian life.Inescapably in thrall to the power his crimes bring him,
Stepan goes further and further down the path of evil, relentlessly
seeking new opportunities to murder and maim. When, however, one of
his victims refuses to surrender to him, instead dying with pity on
her lips, he finds himself haunted by her image. Suddenly, he is
faced with the choice of continuing a life of crime, or facing up to
his actions and their certain consequences. Leo Tolstoy, author of
War and Peace and Anna Karenina, is one of Russia’s greatest
novelists.
