First English edition of Leo Tolstoy's In The Days of Serfdom and Other Stories

First English edition of this collection of short stories further developed in Tolstoy's great novels War and Peace and Anna Karenina. Octavo, original cloth with gilt titles to the spine. Translated by L. & A. Maude. In near fine condition.

Born to an aristocratic Russian family in 1828, Leo Tolstoy is best known for his novels War and Peace and Anna Karenina, often cited as pinnacles of realist fiction. Tolstoy's bibliography includes dozens of short stories, several novellas, plays and numerous philosophical essays. His writing consistently attempted to convey the experience of living in Russian society realistically, drawing from his own experience and creating many of his protagonists in his own image. Tolstoy's War and Peace is generally considered to be one of the greatest novels ever written, epic and remarkable for its historical breadth and dramatic prose.
