Published in 1900, 'Resurrection' is Tolstoy's final large-scale novel. It's a morally-driven tale of personal redemption, featuring fewer characters than either War and Peace or Anna Karenina. Here we focus on one man and a single story line that spirals around a long-forgotten incident in his youth, which turns out to have had tragic consequences for another. The hero is the young St Petersburg aristocrat, Prince Dmitri. Having seduced a woman - Katyusha - and made her pregnant, he'd left her on her on her own and had thought no more about her until ten years later, he finds himself on a...

Master and Man - By Leo Tolstoy. "Master and Man" is a short story by Leo Tolstoy (1895).

They find themselves in the middle of a blizzard, but the master in his avarice wishes to press on. They eventually get lost off the road and they try to camp. The master's peasant soon finds himself...

The plot of Family Happiness is extremely simple as compared to lauded Tolstoy works like Anna Karenina, War and Peace and Resurrection, but Tolstoy's straightforward style of writing and ability to relate every detail of his settings makes this book a highly enjoyable read.
