Tolstoi, Lev Nikolaevich , conde (, 1828-1910)

Divine and human : and other stories / Leo Tolstoy, translated from the Russian by Gordon Spence - Evanston, IL : Northwestern University Press , 2000 - 112 p. ; 20 cm.

Suppressed in turn by the tzarist and Soviet regime, the tales contained in this book have, for the most part, never been published in English until now. From its sparkling vignettes to its lengthier stories, Divine and Human probes the complexities of life and faith. Its characters range the spectrum of human emotions and qualities, from hatred to love and joy to grief; from sublime nobility to grotesque self-absorption.
