This collection of eleven stories spans virtually the whole of Tolstoy`s creative life. While each is unique in form, as a group they are representative of his style, and touch on the central themes that surface in "War and Peace" and "Anna Karenina". Stories as different as `The Snowstorm`, `Lucerne`, `The Diary of a Madman`, and `The Devil` are grounded in autobiographical experience. They deal with journeys of self-discovery and the moral and religious questioning that characterizes Tolstoy`s works of criticism and philosophy. `Strider` and `Father Sergy`, as well as reflecting Tolstoy`s own experiences, also reveal profound psychological insights. These stories range over much of the Russian world of the nineteenth century, from the...

Le Diable, daté du 19 novembre 1889, fait partie des nombreuses œuvres (romans, nouvelles, pièces de théâtre, dialogues) encore inédites à la mort de Léon Tolstoï. La plupart d`entre elles ont été réunies en 1911 dans les Œuvres posthumes. Certains de ces textes remontent à 1883 (Le journal d`un fou), d`autres appartiennent aux dernières années de Tolstoï; mais, d`une manière générale, ils peuvent tous être répartis en deux catégories: ceux que Tolstoï a écrits par volonté morale, et ceux que lui a dictés son instinct artistique. Le Diable se rattache nettement à la première d`entre elles. Au...
