Then give War and Peace a try. It took me a couple of weeks to read this. I chose to start it in the dead of winter and found that the novel transported me delightfully in time and place... |

War and Peace (Modern Library) from Modern Library Price: $17.65 Customer Review: I first read War and Peace with Anna Karenina during a course in the fall of 2002. I had always aspired to read Karenina but not necessarily War and Peace. I was very much surprised. War and Peace is a cultural gem, not necessariy a novel but an exprerience. What I liked about War and Peace was... |

The Kingdom of God Is Within You from University of Nebraska Press Price: $12.57 Customer Review: This is the book which sparked the spiritual revolution in Ghandi, and helped make him the unbelieveable man he was. Ghandi raved about this book in his autobiography, and I couldn't agree more. This could quite possibly be the best book I have ever read. However, two years ago I wouldn't have... |

Hadji Murad from Modern Library Price: $9.56 Customer Review: Tolstoy's brilliant but quiet and cold-eyed satire of war-makers, both Russian and Chechen, from the lordly heights of the Tsar's Winter Palace to the scattered villages of Muslim fighters at the Caucasian edge of empire, and all players between. A "war story," yes, but in a league with For Whom the... |

The Cossacks (Everyman's Library) from Everyman's Library Price: $10.50 Customer Review:  Tolstoy is one of the most famous names in Russian literature. Sadly, the sheer size of most of his celebrated works, i.e. War and Peace, tend to make many readers anxious. However, readers fail to realize that Tolstoy has quite a phenomenal collection of short fiction, such as this 178-page... |

A Calendar of Wisdom: Daily Thoughts to Nourish the Soul Written and Selected from the World's Sacred Texts from Scribner Price: $15.40 Customer Review: Can it really be -- something new from Tolstoy? Perhaps a forgotten, 1,200-page canvass of history found propping up a broken bedstead at the great man's dacha? Is the mystic count of Russian literature about to have a go --la Louisa May Alcott -- at the late-20th century bestseller lists,... |

The Kreutzer Sonata and Other Short Stories (Dover Thrift Editions) from Dover Publications Price: $3.99 Customer Review: and should be required for married couples to read together. It should make for some fascinating conversation. Tolstoy adopts a scorched-earth policy in this novel which deflates the "sanctity" of marriage. The protagonist is a man on the edge, and it seems Tolstoy was there with him in the... |

The Gospel in Brief (Texts & Contexts) from University of Nebraska Press Price: $8.94 Customer Review: I have always felt that much of the Bible and the Church was hiding the heart of Christ's message. The Bible seems a tool that the Church arbitrarily canonized to use for justification; eerily much like the teachers of law that Christ came to nullify. Tolstoy goes to the original Greek texts and... |

The Death of Ivan Ilyich from Bantam Classics Price: $5.95 Customer Review: Tolstoy's novella makes rewarding and unsettling reading. Surely, I can think of no novel that treats dying as boldly. Death is a fact. In this story Ivan Ilyich's life and death are plainly represented in a fashion that remarkably resembles the times I have been aware of other, near people dying.... |

Master and Man, and Other Stories (Penguin Classics) from Penguin Books Price: $10.40 Customer Review: For Tolstoi, this qualifies as an "O. Henry surprise-type ending" since you aren't expecting the wealthy merchant to sacrifice his own life for that of his lowly serf. This seems especially true since Tolstoi gives you several examples throughout the story of how the master undervalues his loyal... |

Walk in the Light & Twenty-Three Tales from Orbis Books Price: $11.90 Customer Review: Moby Dick used to be my favorite book. What more is there to say? Tolstoy is a master storyteller.

Great Short Works of Leo Tolstoy (Perennial Classics) from Perennial Classics Price: $11.17 Customer Review: Tolstoy is probably the most well known of all the Russian novelists, but most people aren't up for War and Peace or Anna Karenina.

What Is Art? (Penguin Classics) from Penguin Books Price: $10.40 Customer Review: Tolstoy, in his magical, down-to-earth way discusses the wanton waste of money and time on sculptures, paintings, etc. that should never be called "ART." If something is designed purely for erotic satisfaction, it should not be called "ART." Even when a bizarre creation attracts thousands of... |
