In this collection, ‚How Much Land Does a Man Need? And Other Stories, ‚ Russian born Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) demonstrates his varied subject matter and style in his shorter fiction. In the title piece, ‚How Much Land Does a Man Need?, ‚ Tolstoy explores this very question through the story of a peasant with an increasing appetite for land. In ‚What Men Live By, ‚ the humble shoemaker Simon sets out to collect money to pay for new coats for the family. ‚A Spark Neglected Burns the House‘ is a parable examining the process of reconciliation. Also included are ‚Two Hussars, ‚ ‚Where Love is, ‚ ‚God Is, ‚ ‚Two Old Men, ‚ and ‚A Prisoner in the Caucasus, ‚ some of Tolstoy’s finest early work. Though Tolstoy is widely known for ‚War and Peace‘ and ‚Anna Karenina, ‚ considered two of the greatest novels in world literature, his short stories remain valuable classics in their own regards.
