- Intriguing story drawn from Leo Tolstoy's own life about an old peasant seeking a small coin for food, but who has been derailed by a "single" word he used and which derailed his life with the authorities in Russia.
Thx for all of these!!
I just discovered Leo Tolstoy. Thanks for bringing him to me
Me too
Harsh peasant life is brutal
i had no idea of the huge number of short stories Tolstoy wrote!
Me either
This one was strange , it had no meaning
Almost as high as your body count
Thanks.
Incarceration is not an excuse to neglect and abuse.
It is important to adapt to be honorable in whatever life or the losing of life does to you.
This author has a knack of attracting the downtrodden
His characters walk out of their hut, & WHAM, they immediately get engulfed by them
I wish they didn’t use the word daddy so much haha
Could someone explain how one can LAY DOWN on the oven to sleep? This is mentioned often in these stories .
In China they sort of did this. It was made of bricks
The oven was brick and a few feet high and large and people could lie on it. Actually a very good design and dual purpose for cooking and sleeping in cold climates
Look up traditional, european central heating oven. Biltmore of brick and tile and warm to the touch, not hot as you may imagine. Located in center of a house, usually.
The shaman brought me here.
