The Forged Coupon: A Tale of Crime, Consequence, and Redemption (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781804215555)

What if a single dishonest act could change lives forever?

In The Forged Coupon, Leo Tolstoy masterfully crafts a gripping narrative that begins with a simple deception and spirals into a complex web of crime and retribution. When young Mitya, desperate for money, alters a banknote to increase its value, he unknowingly sets off a chain reaction that leads to theft, betrayal, violence, and despair. The counterfeit coupon changes hands, dragging more and more people into a cycle of wrongdoing-until a moment of unexpected redemption shifts the course of events.

With sharp social critique and deep psychological insight, Tolstoy exposes the impact of unchecked greed and moral decay while offering a hopeful vision of transformation through kindness and faith.
