{"product_id":"9780486110622","title":"The Kreutzer Sonata and Other Short Stories","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of the world's greatest novelists, Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910) also wrote numerous excellent short stories, three of which are contained in this volume. \"The Kreutzer Sonata\" (1891) is a penetrating study of jealousy as well as a splenetic complaint about the way in which society educates young men and women in matters of sex. 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47106438136048,"sku":"9780486110622","price":3.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/609101063.jpg?v=1751654663","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780486110622","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
