In the Days of Serfdom and Other Stories, originally published in 1911, presents in miniature themes developed in Tolstoys longer works War and Peace and Anna Karenina. The compelling stories in this collection have largely been ignored by contemporary scholars and teachers because of their general unavailability. Available once again, the stories reveal new thematic and stylisitic dimensions to Tolstoys oeuvre.While not all of the stories deal with actual serfdom, they all address the legacy of serfdom, of choicelessness, in Tolstoys Russia. These stories are also thoroughly modern, concerned as they are with the market economy, changing values, and womens roles in society. Artistically and historically significant, they constitute ethical and spiritual questionings that deal with lives out of control, with characters making sense of the experience of living.
