Here are eleven stories from the mature author, some autobiographical, others moral parables, and all imaginative, transcendent, and evocatively drawn. They include The Prisoner of the Caucasus, inspired by Tolstoy's experiences as a soldier in the Chechen War, and one of only two of his works that Tolstoy himself considered "good art"; Hadji Murat, the novella Harold Bloom called "the best story in the world," featuring the real-life war hero Hadji Murat, a Chechen rebel who ravaged his Russian occupiers only to defect to the Russian side after a falling-out with his own commander; The Devil, a tale of sexual obsession based on Tolstoy's relationship with a married peasant woman on his estate in the years before his marriage; and the celebrated The Death of Ivan Ilyich, an intense and moving examination of death and the possibilities of redemption. 526 $a Accelerated Reader $b UG $c 8.8 $d 4.0 $z 8609 $9 0 650 0 $a Russian authors 651 0 $a Russia $v Fiction 655 4 $a Short stories 700 1 $a Pevear, Richard $d 1943- $e author of introduction, etc. $e author of introduction, etc. 700 1 $a Volokhonsky, Larissa $e translator 941 $a 1 952 $l VCPD034 $d 20221129012953.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A27D0F3C6FB311ED99C19B8C3FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
