This book was written by Leo Tolstoy and translated by Vladimir Chertkov.

This book contains a critical essay on Shakespeare by Leo Tolstoy.

During his life, Tolstoy came to the conclusion that William Shakespeare was a bad dramatist and not a true artist at all.

Tolstoy explained his views in a critical essay on Shakespeare written in 1903: "I remember the astonishment I felt when I first read Shakespeare. I expected to receive a powerful aesthetic pleasure, but having read, one after the other, works regarded as his best: "King Lear", "Romeo and Juliet", "Hamlet" and "Macbeth," not only did I feel no delight, but I felt an irresistible repulsion and tedium..."

Ivan the Fool was written by Leo Tolstoy. This Book was translated by Benjamin R. Tucker.

Written after Tolstoy suffered a spiritual crisis, Ivan the Fool is a fairy tale that offers children instruction in how to live rightly, simply, and generously.

The story emphasizes the destructive aspects of materialism and militarism while idealizing manual labor and the peasant life.

Its plot is about the struggles of three brothers and a sister with the Old Devil. The name "Ivan the Fool" hints to a popular hero of Russian folklore.

It is also used as an indication of Tolstoy's political leanings in support of Christian anarchism.

The Death of Ivan Ilyitch (v. 1.0)

The Death of Ivan Ilyitch was written by Leo Tolstoy. This book was translated by Constance Garnett

The Death of Ivan Ilyitch is the story of a socially ambitious middle-aged judge who contracts an unexplained and untreatable illness.

As Ivan Ilyitch is forced to face the death he fears, he asks himself whether the life he thought was so correct was, in fact, a moral life after all.

Written after Tolstoy's religious conversion, the novella is widely considered to be one of his masterpieces.

Many people have different interpretations for the end of the novella. One interpretation is that Ivan Ilyich's whole struggle and agony ends with the great gift of a cessation of suffering. Another is that Ivan Ilyich's breakthrough is the freedom that comes with truth – in his case, seeing the falsity of his life, which enables him to have a brief moment of unselfish love or at least compassion for his wife and children. It can also be interpreted that Ivan did not feel compassion towards his wife, but pity, and saw the truth of humanity in his son, that is, what it meant to be truly human.

Boyhood was written by Leo Tolstoy. This book was translated by C. J. Hogarth.

Leo Nikolayevich Tolstoy was a Russian writer who primarily wrote novels and short stories. Later in life, he also wrote plays and essays.

Boyhood is the second in Tolstoy's trilogy of three autobiographical novels, including Childhood and Youth, published in a literary journal during the 1850s.

Tolstoy's earliest works, the autobiographical novels Childhood, Boyhood, and Youth (1852–1856), tell of a rich landowner's son and his slow realization of the chasm between himself and his peasants. Though he later rejected them as sentimental, a great deal of Tolstoy's own life is revealed. They retain their relevance as accounts of the universal story of growing up.

Bethink Yourselves was written by Leo Tolstoy. This book was translated by V. Tcherkoff

As Russia goes to war against Japan, Tolstoy urges those at all levels of society, from the Tsar down to the common soldier, to consider their actions in the light of Christ's teaching.

Following is the extract from Chapter VI;

"However strange this may appear, the most effective and certain deliverance of men from all the calamities which they inflict upon themselves and from the most dreadful of all—war—is attainable, not by any external general measures, but merely by that simple appeal to the consciousness of each separate man which, nineteen hundred years ago, was proposed by Jesus—that every man bethink himself, and ask himself, who is he, why he lives, and what he should and should not do."
