Book Description
Excerpt from Tolstoy as a Schoolmaster Among the literary projects which Count Tolstoy is said to have on his hands is a book on education. It is to be hoped that he may be able to write it, as the subject is one in which he has been interested for the past forty years and it was as a school master in his native village as long ago as 1862 that he first gave Signs Of many Of his present ideas on government and society. The serfs had just been freed, and, as a good landlord, Tolstoy set to work at the education Of the peasant children so that they might be fitted for their newly acquired freedom. He established a school with three or four teachers beside himself. There were in all about forty pupils, including half a dozen girls.

Book Description
Excerpt from Tolstoi, the Teacher T is with a certain degree of suspicion and mistrust that men of science extend the hand of welcome to those who are outside their own circle. They are right in adopting this attitude. Their mistrust increases when directed against a man who has'given proof of his powers in the realms of imagination, impulse and passion. This also is justified. All the same, the domains of the human mind are not separated from one another by water tight compartments; everything interpene trates and overlaps. The trinity of eclectics sensibility, intelligence and will, has long ago become antiquated; no' longer is it necessary to prove the inadequacy of this method. Too frequently, however, do we still reason as though the mind were made up of separate partitions. Now this is a grave error.

Book Description
The following volume combines two classic shorter works by Leo Tolstoy. These two works, Father Sergius and Master and Man are classic examples of Tolstoy's talent as a storyteller and both exhibit a common theme within the works of Tolstoy. The characters in both works engage in a process of self-discovery that ultimately leads them to some higher truth about life.

Book Description
The ten stories collected in this volume demonstrate Tolstoy's artistic prowess displayed over five decades - experimenting with prose styles and drawing on his own experiences with humour, realism and compassion. Inspired by his experiences in the army, 'The Two Hussars' contrasts a dashing father and his mean-spirited son. Illustrating Tolstoy's belief that art must serve a moral purpose, 'What Men Live By' portrays an angel sent to earth to learn three existential rules of life, and 'Two Old Men' shows a peasant abandoning his pilgrimage to the Holy Land in order to help his neighbours. And in the highly moving 'Master and Man', Tolstoy depicts a mercenary merchant travelling with his unprotesting servant through a blizzard to close a business deal - little realizing he may soon have to settle accounts with his maker.

Book Description
Master and Man by Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy Excerpt coat but not to strike him--a trick Nikita much appreciated. After a drink of the cold water the horse sighed, moving his strong wet lips, from the hairs of which transparent drops fell into the trough; then standing still as if in thought, he suddenly gave a loud snort. 'If you don't want any more, you needn't. But don't go asking for any later, ' said Nikita quite seriously and fully explaining his conduct to Mukhorty. Then he ran back to the shed pulling the playful young horse, who wanted to gambol all over the yard, by the rein.
