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\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46312241692823,"sku":"9780486278056","price":475.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780486278056.webp?v=1767704615","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-kreutzer-sonata-and-other-short-stories-9780486278056","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
