Sobre aquest llibre

In "Twenty-three Tales," Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy presents a compelling collection of short stories that encapsulate the breadth of human experience through a moralistic lens. Written in a clear and poignant style, these tales explore themes of love, faith, and redemption, often drawing from the depths of Russian folklore and spirituality. The tales invoke simplicity yet are imbued with profound philosophical insights, reflecting Tolstoy's deep-seated beliefs about morality and the human condition, resonating with the literary tradition of realism while also delving into the allegorical realm. Tolstoy, a towering figure in Russian literature and a prominent moral philosopher, spent much of his life grappling with profound existential and spiritual questions. His experiences as a soldier, landowner, and social reformer culminated in a unique worldview that deeply influenced his writing. The stories in "Twenty-three Tales" emerged during a period of personal transformation for Tolstoy, where he sought to reaffirm universal truths through storytelling that engages with the reader's ethical consciousness. This collection is essential for readers interested in the intersections of literature, ethics, and spirituality. Tolstoy's incisive narratives not only entertain but also challenge the reader to reflect on their personal beliefs and moral choices, making it a timeless exploration of humanity's quest for meaning.

Sobre l'autor

Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy, born to an aristocratic Russian family in 1828, is widely regarded as one of the greatest authors of all time. Tolstoy's literary works are vast and varied, often reflecting his pursuit of moral and philosophical enlightenment. Famous for his epic novels 'War and Peace' (1869) and 'Anna Karenina' (1877), which offer intricate examinations of Russian society, Tolstoy was also a prolific writer of short stories and essays. His collection 'Twenty-three Tales', published in 1903, presents a series of narratives that explore themes of social justice, religion, and morality, emblematic of Tolstoy's later literary and ideological pursuits. A master of realistic fiction, Tolstoy's narratives often unfold with meticulous detail and psychological depth. His ability to weave complex characters and situations allows him to deeply explore personal and societal struggles. A moral philosopher, he sought to understand the ethical responsibilities of individuals and the presence of good and evil in everyday life. Many of his later works, including those in 'Twenty-three Tales', embody these preoccupations and illustrate his shift towards a spiritual and ascetic lifestyle. Straying from the conventions of his earlier works, these tales are more didactic, reflecting his pacifist and anarchist views. Tolstoy's influence endures in literature; his writings on nonviolent resistance have impacted personalities like Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. Tolstoy died in 1910, leaving behind a legacy that continues to resonate in contemporary discussions of literature and moral philosophy.
