Infos

What if the simplest stories revealed life's deepest truths?Leo Tolstoy, famed author of War and Peace, turned in his later years to writing stories not for the elite, but for everyone-for the soul. In What Men Live By and Other Tales, he offers deeply human parables that blend everyday realism with spiritual insight, compassion, and enduring truth.In this beautifully modernized edition, readers will encounter a former nobleman who renounces pride, a mysterious stranger sent by God to teach a lesson in love, and peasants who learn the true value of mercy and humility. These are stories to be shared, discussed, and remembered.What You'll Discover in This Modern Translation:What Men Live By - A barefoot stranger teaches a humble shoemaker what truly sustains the human soul.Where Love Is, There God Is Also - A widowed cobbler rediscovers hope through acts of kindness.The Three Questions - A king seeks wisdom, only to find it in compassion and presence.How Much Land Does a Man Need? - A greedy peasant races against time and fate in pursuit of land.The Candle - A village learns the power of silent faith in the face of injustice.These tales offer more than moral lessons-they're enduring mirrors to our own lives. Ideal for readers seeking spiritual clarity, ethical reflection, or a quiet literary companion in noisy times.
