    • 4/5
      A sad little story of a man who spends a life in prison for a murder committed by another
    • 1/5
      I know it's Tolstoy, but my feeling toward this story was "blah."
    • 4/5
      Another short story winner from Tolstoy. Many think of Tolstoy as a master of the long novel, but I have really enjoyed his short stories and novelettes.
