✦ Synopsis
The great Russian novelist and thinker Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) is largely remembered for his novels, Anna Karenina and War and Peace. But he was also a prolific essayist and storyteller. As compiler Lawrence Jordan notes, "For the Christian, Tolstoy\u2019s gospel stories represent Christ-centered fiction at its best-imaginative narratives that put the gospel message into compelling action."From Tolstoy\u2019s numerous religious tales, Jordan has compiled three accessible and lovely stories. This charming translation retains the Russian feel and captures Tolstoy\u2019s spirituality. A thorough and fascinating introduction provides context and introduces readers to the writer.This collection of classic stories is an excellent gift for young and old alike.
