Tolstoy: Father Sergius & Other Short Stories
by
Leo Tolstoy,
Simon Vance (Goodreads Author)
Tolstoy is perhaps best recognized as the author of the classic novels War and Peace and Anna Karenina. While he was able to sustain complex and moving plots through large novels, his ability as a writer also is demonstrated in his many short stories.

A nice collection. I read someone somewhere say that Tolstoy's short stories were a great introduction to his works, and since I haven't read more than a few abridged versions of his writings, in my voracious-reading youth, I picked up another collection of his short stories earlier this year, and read "Death of Ivan Ilych" and "Family Happiness", both of which were *great*, and also recommended.

The only short story I really read was Father Sergeius, but it has been one of my favorites since high school. I don't know what it is about it, but despite all the tribulations and sadness Katzatzky goes through, I still feel like I can relate to his quest to find a purpose in life and his struggle with morality and religion.
I downloaded it from feedbooks -only got to read "Father Sergius" and not the other stories. It was my first time reading Tolstoy and I fell in love right away.
Listened to it while driving to and from the Oregon Coast and I found it enjoyable.
An intimate look at relationships, spirituality, and human friction by a master.
Life is Ocean of misery.
