I'm seeking inspiration wherever I think I might find it. This was an interesting choice, as the stories seem to have been conjured from whole cloth. Unique ideas abound, with nevertheless familiar trappings. There was much leaning on the subject of social justice and comeuppance, something probably very personal to the author. Enjoyed. ( ) I enjoyed this very much. Tolstoy has a way of imparting a strong moral without preaching. The last fable, The Tale of Ivan the Fool, leaves much room for thought on Christ-like living and seperation from the ways of the world, and yet there is not much mention of Christ, except the power of His name over the devil. Very powerful stories. no reviews | add a review
