## Description

It is universally acknowledged that Tolstoy, author of War and Peace and Anna Karenina, was as much a master of the short story as he was of the full-length novel. This original collection features some of his most hard-to-find tales including the posthumously published " Alyosha the Pot," the two-part novella " The Forged Coupon," and " After the Dance," aka " After the Ball."
