Our ambitious program of new Tolstoy editions continues with two
collections of powerful stories The violent spiritual crisis in
Tolstoy’s life that inspired his last period of creativity produced
the stories in this compelling and startling collection. They portray
the multifaceted nature of desire, from idealistic romance to sexual
jealousy, from desperate lust to relentless longing. “The K reutzer
Sonata” caused a public sensation with its indictment of so-called
Christian marriage, a theme echoed in “Family Happiness.” In “The
Devil,” a young man finds it impossible to resist a beautiful peasant
woman with whom he had an affair before his marriage. And “Father
Sergius” shows a man going to increasingly desperate ends in order to
avoid the temptations of the flesh.
