Produktbeschreibung

In "The Live Corpse," Leo Tolstoy delves into the morally complex terrain of human relationships, societal expectations, and the search for authentic existence. This novella encapsulates Tolstoy's hallmark literary style, characterized by rich psychological insight and keen social critique. The narrative unfolds through the lens of a protagonist faced with an existential dilemma, illustrating the absurdity of a life deprived of genuine emotion, and poses profound questions about freedom and duty. Its publication during the late 19th century situates the work within a wave of Russian literature that wrestled with issues of realism and moral philosophy, while also reflecting Tolstoy's grappling with personal faith and his views on life and death. Leo Tolstoy, one of the most influential writers in world literature, is renowned for his exploration of ethical themes throughout his oeuvre. His experiences as a soldier, landowner, and seeker of spiritual truth deeply informed his writing. "The Live Corpse" is influenced by Tolstoy's own crises of faith and his observations about society'Äôs superficial morals, conveying his desire to provoke thought and inspire change in the reader's life. This novella is a compelling read for anyone interested in existential philosophy and the complexities of human morality. Tolstoy's incisive prose and provocative themes not only make for an engaging narrative but also challenge readers to reflect on their own lives and the authenticity of their emotional engagements.
