The Forged Coupon, and Other Stories

by Leo Tolstoy from 1905

About

Tolstoy's late stories — including 'The Forged Coupon,' 'After the Ball,' and 'Alyosha the Pot' — show his mature moral vision: the ways that small corruptions cascade into catastrophe, and the ways that small acts of compassion can reverse them. 'Alyosha the Pot,' written days before his death, is a perfect parable of selfless goodness in eleven pages. As group reading, the stories' moral seriousness and narrative clarity make them unusually effective for discussion.

Translated from the original Russian.
