The feature story, Ivan the Fool, presents an archetypal fool who works hard, cooperates with everyone, and manages to foil every attempt to cause his downfall. In the end, peasant life comes out on top, while the pillars of imperial Russian society topple down. Esarhaddon, King of Assyria explores a king's empathy-based revelation to end all violence; and A Grain as Big as a Hen's Egg playfully looks at the relationship between health, soil, labor, and food economies. Three Questions sums up Tolstoy's highest ideal of serving others in the present moment. Some may critique these stories as being too simplistic or too moralistic. But these tales have stood the test of time precisely because they entertain well while evoking universal truths that lift us above humanity's self-serving impulses. -- back cover. 546 $a Translated to English from the Russian. 650 0 $a Short stories, Russian $y 19th century $v Translations into English. 650 7 $a Short stories, Russian. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01117348 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 700 1 $a Beck, Jay $e foreword. 700 1 $a East,Tevyn $e foreword. 700 1 $a Maude, Louise $e translator. 700 1 $a Maude, Aylmer $e translator. 700 1 $a Lewis, Ted, $d 1958- $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191116013107.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5CEBAAFA462211E9A3F20F6897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
