Relatos

From fables and one-paragraph apologues to long stories on the threshold of the short novel, the sixty-seven pieces collected in this volume make up a wide and significant selection of Tolstoy's short narrative. From 1857 to 1909, including inescapable texts such as "The Prisoner of the Caucasus", "History of a Horse", "Father Sergio" or "The Devil" along with others practically unknown in Spanish such as the stories of the "New ABC", "The memoirs of a madman","Buddha" or "Divine and human", without forgetting "How much land a man needs" (according to Joyce, the best short story ever written), this anthology prepared and translated by Víctor Gallego covers the narrative trajectory of Tolstoy in all its crucial phases and styles.
