Books By Leo Tolstoy
In early nineteenth-century Russia, the threat of Napoleon’s invasion looms, and the lives of millions are about to be changed forever. This includes Pierre Bezúkhov, illegitimate son of an aristocrat; Andrew Bolkónski, ambitious military scion; and Natásha Rostóva, compassionate daughter of a nobleman. All of them are unprepared for what lies ahead. Alongside their fellow compatriots—a catalog of enduring literary characters—Pierre, Andrew, and Natásha will be irrevocably torn between fate and free will.
Through the bonds of love and family, and all that can break them, Tolstoy examines the effects of war on every strata of society in his masterwork of intimate—and epic—social history.
Revised edition: Previously published as War and Peace, this edition of War and Peace (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.

A Letter to a Hindu was Leo Tolstoy’s response to letters from Tarak Nath Das – an Indian revolutionary and international scholar. Das wished to know the Russian author’s views on how India could gain Independence from the British.
Tolstoy’s response elaborates on how India and Indians have love in their very roots, and they could use the methods of non-violence, protests and peace to win independence. When Mahatma Gandhi came across the letter, he translated it and published it with his Introduction. It holds insights from some great minds from the pre-independence era and is a reflection of India’s rich heritage and cultural roots.

‘‘क्या वे लोग खेत जोत रहे हैं? क्या उन लोगों ने अपना काम खत्म कर लिया?’’ ‘‘उन लोगों ने आधे से अधिक खेत जोत लिये हैं।’’ ‘‘क्या कुछ भी काम बचा नहीं है?’’ ‘‘मुझे तो नहीं दिखा; पर उन्होंने जुताई अच्छी तरह से की है। वे सभी डरे हुए हैं।’’ ‘‘ठीक है। अब तो जमीन ठीक हो गई है न?’’ ‘‘हाँ, अब खेत तैयार हैं और उनमें अफीम के पौधों के बीज डाले जा सकते हैं।’’ मैनेजर थोड़ी देर चुप रहने के बाद बोला, ‘‘वे लोग मेरे बारे में क्या कहते हैं? क्या वे मुझे गाली देते हैं?’’ बूढ़ा कुछ हकलाने लगा, पर माइकल ने उसे सच बोलने के लिए कहा, ‘‘तुम मुझे सच बताओ। तुम अपने शब्द नहीं, बल्कि किसी और के शब्द बोल रहे हो। यदि तुम मुझे सच-सच बताओगे, तब मैं तुमको इनाम दूँगा; और अगर तुम मुझे धोखा दोगे तो ध्यान रखना, मैं तुम्हें बहुत मारूँगा। क

Wonderfully wide-ranging and enjoyable, this outstanding collection features highly acclaimed short stories by Tolstoy who is regarded as one of the greatest writers in history.
Among Russian writers, Leo Tolstoy is probably the best known to the Western world, largely because of War and Peace, his epic in prose, and Anna Karenina, one of the most splendid novels in any language. But during his long lifetime, Tolstoy also wrote enough shorter works to fill many volumes.
The seven parts into which this book is divided include 'God Sees the Truth, but Waits' and 'A Prisoner in the Caucasus' which Tolstoy himself considered as his best. 'How Much Land Does a Man Need?' depicting the greed of a peasant for land; the most brilliantly told parable, 'Ivan the Fool'—these are all contained in this volume. The book includes an active table of contents for easy navigation.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Leo Tolstoy was a Russian writer who primarily wrote novels and short stories. Later in life, he also wrote plays and essays. His two most famous works — 'War and Peace' and 'Anna Karenina', are acknowledged as two of the greatest novels of all time and a pinnacle of realist fiction. Many consider Tolstoy to have been one of the world's greatest novelists. Tolstoy is equally known for his complicated and paradoxical persona and for his extreme moralistic and ascetic views, which he adopted after a moral crisis and spiritual awakening in the 1870s, after which he also became noted as a moral thinker and social reformer.
His literal interpretation of the ethical teachings of Jesus, centering on the Sermon on the Mount, caused him in later life to become a fervent Christian anarchist and anarcho-pacifist. His ideas on non-violent resistance, expressed in such works as 'The Kingdom of God is Within You', were to have a profound impact on such pivotal twentieth-century figures as Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luthe

War and Peace offered a new kind of fiction, with a great many characters caught up in a plot that covered nothing less than the grand subjects indicated by the title, combined with the equally large topics of youth, marriage, age, and death. Though it is often called a novel today, it broke so many conventions of the form that it was not considered a novel in its time. Indeed, Tolstoy himself considered Anna Karenina (1878) to be his first attempt at a novel in the European sense.
