托尔斯泰的小说大都反映了十九世纪俄罗斯社会的真实生活，描写了俄罗斯形形色色的人物，塑造了众多个性鲜明的典型。阅读托尔斯泰的小说，我们仿佛置身于当时的俄国环境，真可说是身历其境；接触各种身份和个性的人物，如见其人，如闻其声；同时随同他们的悲欢离合，喜怒哀乐，自然而然地对他们的遭遇产生强烈的共鸣。 文艺作品主要是以情动人，阅读优秀的文艺作品，也就可以在不知不觉中获得有益的熏陶，并由此产生对世界对人生的思考。 托尔斯泰的一生主要是关心人，同情不幸人们的苦难，思索怎样使人间充满人与人之间真诚的爱，也就是宣扬人道主义精神。正是这种伟大的人格感动了并在不断感动着全世界一切正直人的心。难怪他的作品在全世界被译成最多种文字，在经典著作中印数始终占据首位。 目录 译者前言 舞会以后 亚述国王伊撒哈顿 哈吉穆拉特 假息票 瓦罐阿廖沙 科尔尼·华西里耶夫 草莓 为什么？ 神性与人性 我梦见了什么 穷人 孩子的力量 狼 同路人的谈话 过路客和农民 村里的歌声 乡村三日记 霍登广场事件 “糊里糊涂” 沃土 未完成稿 费多尔·库兹米奇长老死后发表的日记 我的生活 回忆 范法罗诺夫山 华西里神父 世问无罪人

In "Confession" Tolstoy poses the question: Is there any meaning in my life that will not be destroyed by my death? In 1879 the fifty-year-old author of "War and Peace" and "Anna Karenina" came to believe that he had accomplished nothing in life. Either of these magnificant novels would have assured Tolstoy's permanent place in the annals of world literature, yet his achievement was not enough to give his life meaning. "Confession" is an account of this spiritual crisis, marking a shift of Tolstoy's central focus from the aesthetic to the religious and philisophical.

《克鲁采奏鸣曲》是一个发生在19世纪俄国上流社会的爱情悲剧，是列夫·托尔斯泰小说中的经典之一。花花公子波兹德内歇夫娶了美丽的平民之女为妻。几年后平庸重复的婚姻生活使双方都感到了厌倦。此时风度翩翩的青年音乐家特鲁哈切夫斯基闯入了他们的生活。他们之间的密切交往引起波兹德内歇夫的强烈忌妒，终于在暴怒之下，波兹德内歇夫杀死了无辜的妻子。

From Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, the best-selling, award-winning translators of Anna Karenina and The Brothers Karamazov, comes a brilliant, engaging, and eminently readable translation of Leo Tolstoy’s master epic. War and Peace centers broadly on Napoleon’s invasion of Russia in 1812 and follows three of the best-known characters in literature: Pierre Bezukhov, the illegitimate son of a count who is fighting for his inheritance and yearning for spiritual fulfillment; Prince Andrei Bolkonsky, who leaves behind his family to fight in the war against Napoleon; and Natasha Rostov, the beautiful young daughter of a nobleman, who intrigues both men. As Napoleon’s army invades, Tolstoy vividly follows characters from diverse backgrounds—peasants and nobility, civilians and soldiers—as they struggle with the problems unique to their era, their history, and their culture. And as the novel progresses, these characters transcend their specificity, becoming some of the most moving—and human—figures in world literature. Pevear and Volokhonsky have brought us this classic novel in a translation remarkable for its fidelity to Tolstoy’s style and cadence and for its energetic, accessible prose. With stunning grace and precision, this new version of War and Peace is set to become the definitive English edition.

In Russia's struggle with Napoleon, Tolstoy saw a tragedy that involved all mankind. Greater than a historical chronicle, War and Peace is an affirmation of life itself, 'a complete picture', as a contemporary reviewer put it, 'of everything in which people find their happiness and greatness, their grief and humiliation'. Tolstoy gave his personal approval to this translation, published here in a new single volume edition, which includes an introduction by Henry Gifford, and Tolstoy's important essay 'Some Words about War and Peace'.

《安娜·卡列宁娜》这部小说是以安娜·卡列宁娜的名字来命名的。在小说中，安娜的形象的确居于中心的位置。安娜是一个天生丽质、情感真诚、内心世界丰富的年轻女人。她由姑妈作主，嫁给一个思想保守且比她大很多的官僚卡列宁。多年来，她一直安于贤妻良母的生活，但与渥伦斯基的邂逅，又重新唤醒了她对生活和爱情的追求。在当时的上流社会，私通并不少见，但安娜不愿长期欺骗丈夫，毅然把她和渥伦斯基暧味的关系公开，从而被上流社会抛弃，同时也受到卡列宁的报复。她拼命挣扎，但还是无法摆脱悲剧的命运，最后卧轨自杀……

长篇小说《复活》(1889～1899)是托尔斯泰晚年的代表作，情节的基础是真实的案件。贵族青年聂赫留道夫诱□姑母家中养女、农家姑娘卡秋莎·玛斯洛娃，导致她沦为妓女；而当她被诬为谋财害命时，他却以陪审员身份出席法庭审判她。这看似巧合的事件，在当时社会却有典型意义。小说一方面表现作者晚年代表性主题──精神觉醒和离家出走；主要方面则是借聂赫留道夫的经历和见闻，展示从城市到农村的社会阴暗面，对政府、法庭、监狱、教会、土地私有制和资本主义制度作了深刻的批判。不过，作品的后面部分，渐渐突出了不以暴力抗恶和自我修身的说教。托尔斯泰的力量和弱点，在这里得到最集中最鲜明的表现。
