The compelling stories in this collection have largely been ignored by contemporary scholars and teachers because of their general unavailability. Available once again, the stories reveal new thematic and stylisitic dimensions to Tolstoy's oeuvre. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile not all of the stories deal with actual serfdom, they all address the legacy of serfdom, of choicelessness, in Tolstoy's Russia. These stories are also thoroughly modern, concerned as they are with the market economy, changing values, and women's roles in society. Artistically and historically significant, they constitute ethical and spiritual questionings that deal with lives out of control, with characters making sense of the experience of living.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leo Tolstoy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0812218183\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780812218183\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pine Street Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/16\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.18w x 0.91d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eUniv PR Books for Public Libry\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2003 pg. 89 - Strongly Recommended","brand":"Leo Tolstoy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926353314047,"sku":"9780812218183","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_1cb5cc07-5f66-4f92-917a-51bb260cebd1.jpg?v=1681082603","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/in-the-days-of-serfdom-leo-tolstoy-9780812218183","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
