About the Books
Leo Tolstoy's novels remain among the most studied works in world literature, and this collection presents five of his defining texts in a single paperback set. Resurrection follows Prince Dmitri Nekhlyudov's journey of guilt and redemption after he recognises a woman he wronged years earlier, now on trial for murder, prompting a profound moral awakening. Anna Karenina traces the tragic downfall of a woman torn between duty and desire, set against a richly detailed portrait of Russian aristocratic society. The Death of Ivan Ilyich is a compact but devastating novella confronting mortality, regret, and the search for meaning in an ordinary life. Finally, the two volumes of War and Peace combine intimate family drama with vast historical sweep, following interlinked Russian families through the Napoleonic Wars while Tolstoy reflects on fate, history, and free will. Together, these five works showcase the full range of Tolstoy's genius, from intimate psychological drama to expansive historical narrative, making this collection an essential read for students, book clubs, and lifelong fans of classic literature. Each title stands alone as a masterpiece, but together they reveal the depth of Tolstoy's moral vision.

Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy (1828-1910) was a Russian writer widely regarded as one of the greatest novelists of all time. Born into Russian nobility, he drew on his own experiences of war, family life, and spiritual searching to craft deeply human stories. His major works, including War and Peace and Anna Karenina, are celebrated for their psychological insight, moral seriousness, and vast social canvas. Tolstoy's writing continues to influence literature and philosophy worldwide, and his novels remain widely read and studied more than a century after his death.
