A prominent scholar and narrator of Russian history, Count Alexei Konstantinovich Tolstoy was also heavily influenced by German Romanticism and old Gothic tales. Here is his own foray into the macabre story genre—a novel as complex and tangled as any palace intrigue.

Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart. They can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. This decade is resplendent with literature and its many prodigiously talented authors who write on as varied a range of subjects as might be thought possible. Yet each is studded with careful literary precision and narrative verve. It is a remarkable decade.

This collection brings together stories and reflections in which Leo Tolstoy turns inward. Stripped of grandeur, these works offer something more intimate: the inner noise of conscience, the weight of faith, the silence before death. A servant's silence, a horse's memory, a dying man's doubt—these are not performances. They are questions, waiting quietly for whoever dares to ask the same. Tolstoy isn't offering answers. He's writing toward something deeper. And the questions haven't aged a day.

Aşkın ateşiyle yanıp toplumun buz kesen duvarlarına çarpan Anna Karenina… Tolstoy’un ölümsüz romanı şimdi daha kısa, fakat aynı yüreklilikle karşınızda. Bu yeniden kurgulanmış edisyonda sayfalar hızla akıyor; Anna ile Vronski’nin sarsıcı tutkusu, Levin ile Kitty’nin toprağa kök salan umutları ve Karenin’in geç kalmış pişmanlıkları ilk günkü canlılığıyla içimize işliyor. Gereksiz ayrıntılar ayıklandı, ama Rusya’nın kar kokulu sokakları, balo salonlarının ışıltısı ve tren raylarının uğultusu yerli yerinde kaldı.

Tolstoy’un ölümsüz eseri “İnsan Neyle Yaşar”, yüzyıllar sonra hâlâ insan yüreğine dokunan basit bir soruyu peşine takıyor: Bizi hayatta tutan gerçek güç nedir? Bir köy kunduracısının yol kenarında donmak üzere bulduğu esrarengiz yabancıyla başlayan bu kısa klasik, merhametin ve sevginin görünmez ağına düşen sıradan insanların öyküsünü anlatıyor. Tolstoy, melekler ve kırbacın gölgesinde geçen bu masalsı anlatıda, ekmeğin tadından adaletin yüküne, on bin talant borcundan bozkır rüzgârına uzanan geniş bir insanlık panoraması kuruyor.
