“If everyone fought for their own convictions there would be no war.”

― Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace

 

A rare turn of the century anthology of the works of Leo Tolstoy. Most known for his masterpieces ‘War and Peace’ and ‘Anna Karenina’, Tolstoy published several short stories and novellas that were immensely popular in Russia.

 

This exquisite edition was published by Scribner in New York in 1900 and features Tolstoy’s most iconic works. And while the works themselves are desirable, this example should be considered one of the best editions of Tolstoy because of the stunning binding and display. See below for a list of the works included.
