GREAT QUESTION, LEO. #CurrentlyReading
A great short story after a long time! And that iconic ending line(Not trying to give any spoilers anymore)! Oh boy maybe Tolstoy is the only one who can make such a simple story so rich!
Two short but very meaningful short stories (fables?) about people‘s relationship with money and fulfilment, one happy and one sad. I loved how spiritual these made political questions feel, and the fairy tale atmosphere made it feel just the right amount uncanny and otherworldly. I‘d love to read more of Tolstoy‘s shorter works if they‘re all like this I love his spirituality
Two short stories in this Little Black Classic edition. Both easy parables to enjoy and read quite quickly.
Two parables by Tolstoy. I liked the first one the most, about greed and land ownership. James Joyce called it the world's greatest story. I'm not sure I would go that far, but I enjoyed it. The second was a more overtly religious parable. Painting by Arkady Plastov, which is based on the title story.
I finished four books (558 pages) and two hours of audiobook in almost 16 hours and my favorite was How Much Land Does A Man Need? #24in48 #readathon
First book for #24in48 #readathon and for #LitsyAtoZ #abecedariumTBR
Two short stories, one about greed, and one about love. From the blurb - '...considered by James Joyce to be the world's greatest story.'
I decided yesterday to participate in #24in48 and here is my humble #readathon pile 😊
