Best known for his sweeping masterpieces War and Peace and Anna Karenina, Leo Tolstoy is one of the brightest lights in the literary landscape of the nineteenth century. A man of incredible skill and multidimensional talent, Tolstoy was a graceful craftsman who has been celebrated by literary giants from Joyce to Woolf, and Nabokov to Faulkner. His work was marked by exquisite realism—rich with dramatic intensity, depth, and power—as well as profound philosophical and psychological insights. The Select Works of Leo Tolstoy brings together these facets of Tolstoy’s artistry, gathering snippets of Tolstoy’s work in a variety of genres. The collection contains philosophical and religious treatises, memoirs, plays, short stories, and two of his lesser-known novels. Among the works are The Kingdom of God Is within You, which advocates nonviolent resistance and had a profound impact on such leaders as Mohandas Gandhi; What Is Art? in which Tolstoy speaks into the debate over how art is defined and valued; My Religion, where he discusses his personal religious convictions; The Awakening, one of his later novels; and a compilation of his early memoirs, Childhood. Boyhood. Youth.
