The Beauties Of Fiction

The book “Wonderful Tales” presents a collection of short stories by the giant Russian writer Leo Tolstoy, which reflects the depth of his philosophical and ethical vision. The stories address deep human issues such as poverty, death, and the conflict between good and evil, using a simple symbolic style that touches the heart. The stories are characterized by their focus on the lives of the poor and peasants, far from aristocratic glamour, to reveal the true essence of humanity.

The book also reflects Tolstoy’s spiritual transformation in a later stage of his life, where he criticizes religious and social hypocrisy, and calls for living simply and abstemiously. The topics vary between realistic tales and mystical contemplations, making it a unique blend of literature and philosophy. Each story carries a clear moral message, without losing its literary beauty or intellectual depth.

The book is an invitation for the reader to explore the meanings of simple life, and to search for happiness in humility and charitable work. Tolstoy succeeds in conveying his complex ideas through intense short stories, that touch upon different aspects of human existence. Whether you are a fan of Russian literature or someone looking for an inspiring read, this collection will leave a deep impression on your conscience.
