In \"The Death of Ivan Ilych\" (1886), a symbolic Everyman discovers the inner light of faith and love only when confronted by death. \"How Much Land Does a Man Need?\" (1886) is a simple, didactic story of peasant life, written by Tolstoy in the wake of a spiritual crisis. All three tales offer readers a splendid introduction to Tolstoy's work as well as the focused delights of the short story form brought to a pinnacle in the hands of a master.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dover Publications Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66764165775475,"sku":"9780486278056","price":345.0,"currency_code":"PHP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0693\/1041\/4963\/files\/9780486278056.webp?v=1792397846","url":"https:\/\/nationalbookstore.com\/products\/the-kreutzer-sonata-and-other-short-stories-fiction-literature","provider":"National Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
