How Much Land Does a Man Need? and Other Stories

About the book

Containing several of his well-known later short stories, this volume also includes tales from Tolstoy's early years in the Russian Army, a time of his life when he was already exploring the profound moral questions of war, love, and courage. A few, such as "Where Love Is, God Is" and "What Men Live By", have had such a deep impact on our communities that we have performed them as plays. All these works are characterized by freshness and an almost biblical simplicity.
