关于此电子书

In "The Forged Coupon," Leo Tolstoy crafts a compelling narrative that examines the moral and social ramifications of deception and its cascading effects on the lives of individuals and society at large. Through the lens of a seemingly innocuous act—a counterfeited coupon—Tolstoy explores profound themes of guilt, redemption, and the intricate connections between personal choices and community welfare. The story is characterized by Tolstoy's signature realism and ethical inquiry, employing a fluid prose style that seamlessly intertwines character introspection with broader societal implications, reflecting the complexities of human nature in the late 19th century. Leo Tolstoy, renowned for his epic novels such as "War and Peace" and "Anna Karenina," was a seminal figure in world literature whose own moral struggles often influenced his writing. Drawn from his experiences with moral dilemmas and a quest for spiritual truth, Tolstoy approaches his characters with empathy and a desire to illuminate the human condition. His philosophical evolution after his mid-life crisis echoes throughout this story, compelling readers to ponder the consequences of their actions within an interconnected social fabric. I highly recommend "The Forged Coupon" to readers interested in ethical literature and the exploration of human morality. This novella offers incisive reflections on the consequences of one's choices, making it highly relevant in today's context where ethical considerations frequently shape societal issues. Tolstoy's mastery of narrative and character development invites introspection and thoughtful discourse on the nature of integrity and responsibility.

作者简介

Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy, more commonly known as Leo Tolstoy, was a colossus of Russian literature and is often considered one of the greatest novelists of all time. Born on September 9, 1828, into Russian nobility, Tolstoy's profound moral philosophy and keen observation of human life manifest themselves in his literary works. His early experience in the army and his travels provided him with a wealth of insight that he expressed powerfully in his writing. Tolstoy is most celebrated for his epic novels 'War and Peace' (1869) and 'Anna Karenina' (1877), which offer detailed portrayals of Russian society with a depth and realism that was unparalleled at the time. Beyond these masterpieces, Tolstoy also explored moral themes and the nature of justice in his later works such as 'The Forged Coupon' (1911), a novella that delves into the consequences of a seemingly insignificant sin echoing through various lives. His storytelling combined with philosophical exploration contributed significantly to the development of realism in literature and influenced generations of writers. Tolstoy's literary style is marked by complex characters, intricate plots, and an underlying search for truth and morality. Even today, his works challenge readers to contemplate life's most profound questions and remain crucial to the canon of world literature. Tolstoy passed away on November 20, 1910, but left an indelible mark on the world through his contributions to both literature and social thought.
