| 2. |  | War and Peace from Knopf Price: $22.20 Customer Review: War and Peace is, without question, the greatest historical novel ever written. However, if you carry a copy of War and Peace with you anywhere, you will be subjected to ridicule of many varieties. This, of course, says more about the critics than the reader. It tells us first that most people... |

| 3. |  | The Death of Ivan Ilych And Other Stories from Signet Classics Price: $6.95 Customer Review: Tolstoy's brief novella 'Death of Ivan Ilyich' is one of the most compact and brilliant meditations on the meaning of death in literature. Tolstoy's breathtaking naturalism is truly miraculous. Ivan Ilyich is respectful administrator who is dying a painful death from a malignant tumor. Much as Kafka... |

| 4. |  | War And Peace (Signet Classics) from Signet Classics Price: $9.95 Customer Review: I'm suprised not to see anyone mention Rosemary Edmonds' translation of this masterful work. Her translation, published by Penguin Classics, is really quite good, and reads smoothly, and it seems accurate to what Tolstoy would have considered his message. I highly recommend this translation of War... |

| 5. |  | War and Peace (Penguin Classics, Deluxe Edition) from Penguin Classics Price: $12.24 Customer Review:  There can be no doubt that this is one of the greatest novels of all time. It envelopes you very quickly and leaves you changed, if only for a while. I would only point out two disappointments. I found Tolstoy's philosophy boring and rather like a wet blanket, especially in the end. Nearly... |

| 6. |  | Anna Karenina (Signet Classics) from Signet Classics Price: $6.95 Customer Review: Many themes of Anna Karenina are timeless: marriage, infidelity, the roles of men and women, personal fulfillment, honor, spirituality, and naturalism. If that isn't enough, then Tolstoy offers an 18th-century look at Russian society and culture, still well before the run-up to the revolution. Don't... |

| 7. |  | Great Short Works of Leo Tolstoy (Perennial Classics) from Harper Perennial Modern Classics Price: $10.85 Customer Review: According to many critics, Tolstoy (1828 to 1910) is viewed as one of the greatest novelists of all time, particularly noted for his historical novel War and Peace and later the novel Anna Karenina. The two novels are among the best novels ever written, and depict life in 19th century Russia.... |

| 8. |  | The Kingdom of God is Within You from Wildside Press Price: $12.21 Customer Review:  A very good book, if only to see how Tolstoy handles the subject. His writing is as fine as ever, and in demolishing the edifice of church/state, he is in fine form. However, when it comes time to build...to construct...to form his own, edifice, the train goes completly off the rails. It... |

| 11. |  | The Death of Ivan Ilych from Waking Lion Press Price: $9.95 Customer Review: Tolstoy's short novel starts with the aftermath of Ivan Ilych's death. His colleagues gather to execute the polite formalities before moving on with relief to their regular whist game. "Well isn't that something--he's dead, but I'm not." Ivan Ilych is a self-satisfied high court judge who... |

| 12. |  | A Calendar of Wisdom: Daily Thoughts to Nourish the Soul, Written and Selected from the World's Sacred Texts from Scribner Price: $14.96 Customer Review: A fantastic book! It's written in a 365 day format so you can pick it up on any day and start there. Some of his wisdoms need to be taken one day at a time other times I found myself reading days or weeks ahead they were so interesting. His wisdom is timeless, obviously Tolstoy was a man ahead... |

| 13. |  | The Kreutzer Sonata and Other Short Stories (Dover Thrift Editions) from Dover Publications Price: $2.00 Customer Review: I purchased this book of short stories due to it's reference in Into the Wild and it helped me better connect with the main character. "How much land does a man need?", "The Death of Ivan Ilyich", and "The Kreutzer Sonata" are the three stories included and Sonata was by far my favorite. It allows... |

| 15. |  | Family Happiness and Other Stories (Thrift Edition) from Dover Publications Price: $3.50 Customer Review:  Tolstoy's Family Happiness is passe' and boring. I read many books each year, and this is not one I would recommend. I would highly recommend "Into the wild", "The woman who walked to Russia", "Garden Spell", "Desert Queen", I could go on, with many other subjects, but that will have to wait.... |

| 17. |  | War and Peace (Modern Library Classics) from Modern Library Price: $11.16 Customer Review:  The problem with Garnett is not her readability. She wrote a remarkably fluent English prose. The problem is her mistranslations and cavalier treatment of what Tolstoy actually wrote and meant. My Russian literature teacher at Hunter College (Tolstoy's grandaughter !) said there were bloopers on... |

| 18. |  | Master and Man and Other Stories (Penguin Classics) from Penguin Classics Price: $11.20 Customer Review: I know that Tolstoy was a genius and a talented author. However, this story seemed quite bland to me and I found that it never really "grabbed" me in a way that could be comparable to "War and Peace". |

| 19. |  | A Confession and Other Religious Writings (Penguin Classics) from Penguin Classics Price: $11.20 Customer Review: To read this is to reveal the logic of a great thinker's enlightenment about the real science of Christ's thinking and healing even if under the cloud of domination of an establishment and state church. He was brave to write it out to the extent of his excommunication in 1905. It is a thought... |

| 20. |  | Hadji Murad from FQ Classics Price: $7.99 Customer Review: Certainly, the life and death of Hadji Murad left trenchant impression on young Tolstoy. So much so that Tolstoy wrote this novella few years before he died, and obviously did not intend to publish it. However fortunately it was published against his wish and it turned out to be the one of the most... |

| 22. |  | The Death of Ivan Ilyich and Other Stories (Wordsworth Classics) from Wordsworth Editions Price: $4.99 Customer Review: These stories give an excellent view of Tolstoy's vision on the real nature of man, his place in our world, on sex, marriage and women, on man's ultimate destiny and on morals. For Tolstoy, man as a species is barely more than an animal incapable of controlling his `animal passion'. More, `it... |
