Written over a period of more than half a century, Leo Tolstoy s stories reflect every aspect of his art and personality. They cover his experiences as a soldier in the Caucasus, his married life, his passionate interest in the peasantry, his cult of truth and simplicity, and his growing preoccupation with religion. The stories in Volume 1 of the 'Collected Shorter Fiction' date from the period in which the young Tolstoy wrote 'Anna Karenina' and 'War and Peace. ' Ranging from brief, masterfully sketches of military life such as The Wood-Felling to novellas like 'Family Happiness, ' an uneasy imagining of the idyllic possibilities of marriage by the not-yet-married writer, all feature Tolstoy s characteristically lavish deployment of detail, shrewd observation, and imaginative power.
