Dieser Band enthält fünf der früheren Erzählungen: Kosaken (1852-62), Leinwandmesser (1856-85), Der Tod des Iwan Iljitsch (1884-86), Läßt du das Feuer brennen, du löscht es nimmer aus (1885) und Kreuzersonate (1887-89). Das eigentlich jeder dieser Erzählungen durchlaufende Thema: Wie in Wahrheit zu leben? Wie in Wahrheit zu lieben? Fragen, deren sich die Protagonisten erst angesichts des Todes bewußt werden und sie erst dann sich stellen, wenn es zu spät ist. Am eindrucksvollsten ist dies in „Der Tod des Iwan Iljitsch“ geschildert: „ – all das, wofür ich gelebt habe und lebe, ist Lüge und Betrug; Lüge und Betrug haben Leben und Tod vor mir verborgen gehalten.“ Ein weiteres Thema: die Eifersucht und die show more fleischliche Lust im Konflik mit der herrschenden Moral. Leinwandmesser , der Lebensbericht eines Wallachs, ist etwas schwach.(IX-16) show less

Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy was born on September 9, 1828 in Russia. He is usually referred to as Leo Tolstoy. He was a Russian author who is regarded as one of the greatest authors of all time. Leo Tolstoy is best known for his novels War and Peace (1869) and Anna Karenina (1877). Tolstoy's fiction includes dozens of short stories and several show more novellas such as The Death of Ivan Ilyich, Family Happiness, and Hadji Murad. He also wrote plays and numerous philosophical essays. Tolstoy had a profound moral crisis and spiritual awakening in the 1870's which he outlined in his work, A Confession. His literal interpretation of the ethical teachings of Jesus, centering on the Sermon on the Mount, caused him to become a fervent Christian anarchist and pacifist. His ideas of nonviolent resistance which he shared in his works The Kingdom of God is Within You, had a profund impact on figures such as Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. On September 23, 1862 Tolstoy married Sophia Andreevna Behrs. She was the daughter of a court physician. They had 13 children, eight of whom survived childhood. Their early married life allowed Tolstoy much freedom to compose War and Peace and Anna Karenina with his wife acting as his secretary and proofreader. The Tolstoy family left Russia in the aftermath of the Russian Revolution and the subsequent establishment of the Soviet Union. Leo Tolstoy's relatives and descendants moved to Sweden, Germany, the United Kingdom, France and the United States. Tolstoy died of pneumonia at Astapovo train station, after a day's rail journey south on November 20, 1910 at the age of 82. (Bowker Author Biography) Count Leo Tolstoy was born in 1828 on the family estate of Yasnaya Polyana in the Tula province. He married in 1862 & was the father of 13 children. Tolstoy managed the estate of Yasnaya Polyana & ran its peasant schools, while writing his great novels, "War & Peace" (1869) & "Anna Karenina" (1877). He died in 1910. (Publisher Provided) show less
