Three Novellas: New Translation

One of Tolstoy's last published works of fiction, The Devil revolves around the young landowner Yevgeny's irrepressible lust for Stepanida, a sensual peasant woman. Even when he gets married to a respectable upper-class lady, he finds himself unable to put an end to his encounters with Stepanida, and becomes increasingly consumed by guilt.

Una dintre ultimele lucrari de fictiune publicate de Tolstoi, Diavolul se invarte in jurul poftei ireversibile a tanarului proprietar de pamant Evgheni pentru Stepanida, o taranica senzuala. Chiar si atunci cand se casatoreste cu o doamna respectabila din clasa superioara, el se trezeste in imposibilitatea de a pune capat intalnirilor sale cu Stepanida si devine din ce in ce mai consumat de vinovatie.
