{"product_id":"9780141913667","title":"9780141913667","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.","brand":"Penguin Books, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47119777169648,"sku":"9780141913667","price":14.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780141913667_p0.jpg?v=1763656481","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780141913667","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
