Tolstoy is perhaps best recognized as the author of the classic novels War and Peace and Anna Karenina. While he was able to sustain complex and moving plots though large novels, his ability as a great writer also is demonstrated in his many short stories. Tolstoy brings to these brief tales the same psychological depth and spiritual insight found in his large novels. In fact, his short stories are an excellent place to begin reading this great author. You will find his challenging themes of morality, forgiveness, redemption, and more. // Here Hovel Audio has collected several of Tolstoy's most-loved short stories. Hovel has paid special attention, focusing on themes of spiritual significance. The stories in this collection include: // God Sees the Truth but Waits // A Prisoner in the Caucuses // Alyosha The Plot // Father Sergius // What Men Live By // Where God Is Love Is Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

The first one - and the longest - is also the best, Father Sergius. It's about a young man in the military with a promising career, who give up everything to become a monk, later a hermit and a pilgrim. But throughout his life he doubt's his way of life and the meaning of existence, believing he's a complete failure. It's a moving portrait. Also I liked The Prisoner of Caucuses which is an exhilarating escape-story and God Sees the Truth, but Waits about a man who is unjustly sentenced for a murder. Two of the stories work more like gospel-parables. They are moving, but very sentimental and too heavy on moral teaching.
The short stories have been compiled for an audiobook only edition - read by the always good Simon Vance. ( )
