Family Happiness Stories Harper Perennial Classic Stories Leo Tolstoy Books

I'd never read Tolstoy because I was always intimidated by the size of his major works; thus, a collection of his short stories was an appealing first step.

"Family Happiness" is the primary work in this book. In it, Tolstoy opines on what makes a successful marriage. I was amazed by how prescient to today was his 19th century relationship advice. Because he grasps universal and eternal elements of the human soul, his advice will be just as relevant 100 years from now.

The other stories display Tolstoy's thoughts on work, faith, temptation, high-society, and ambition - among other topics - and are equally as enlightening.

Tolstoy clearly did not sacrifice brevity for depth as these five short stories were all outstanding reads. A great introduction to one of history's deepest writers. Highly recommend.

Family Happiness Stories Harper Perennial Classic Stories Leo Tolstoy Books Reviews

You will get lulled into experiencing first hand what the author conveys through his skilled writing. Fantastic.
Short but uplifting story well told.
This book is a great place to start with Tolstoy if you are a bit intimidated by "war and peace" or "Anna Karenia" being so huge. This volume has several of Tolstoy's quality short stories including my personal favourite "family happiness" but also "the devil" which i think is a good introduction to Tostoy's religious and spiritual writings. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in Tolstoy or russian litrature in general but who is not sure where to start.
My book of Family Happiness had only one story - Family Happiness. What can one expect for .99 cents?
Thoroughly enjoyed this book. From another time, and another place, but this is really a timeless book. A must read for the thoughtful reader.
If you have ever wondered what being married would be like or if you are already married, this book will reveal what a good, stable marriage is all about.
Truly a classic! While the story is nostalgic for those who've lived a simpler life, it can surely seem boring and foreign to the generation of today's hustle and bustle.
