Overview Three works by one of the greatest Russian writers combine autobiographical elements with the themes of marriage, sex, and the conflict between traditional values and progress. One of Tolstoys last works of fiction, The Devil revolves around the young landowners Yevgeny irrepressible lust for Stepanida, a sensual peasant woman. Even when he gets married to a respectable upper-class lady, he finds himself unable to put an end to his encounters with Stepanida, and becomes increasingly consumed by guilt and helplessness in the face of his undeniable urges. In some ways comparable to the controversial Kreutzer Sonata, this novella shows Tolstoy at his most salacious, while at the same time addresses the conflicts between desire, social norms, and personal conscience. Also included in this volume are Family Happiness, one of Tolstoys earliest worksan entertaining and cynical account of marriage from the perspective of a disillusioned wife; and A Landowners Morning, one of Tolstoys lesser-known pieces of fiction.

Acclaimed by luminaries such as William Faulkner, supressed for more than fifty years by a prosecution for obscenity, James Hanley''s 1930s classic charts the short and brutish life of a boy forced out of school and into the unforgiving world of work. Escape - in the form of stowing away on a ship - only deepens his exposure to the squalor and brutality that men are capable of, and when he arrives in Alexandria he learns there are some things that one can''t run away from. Narrated in unflinching language that is both visceral and acute in its observational power, "Boy" is a shocking book that stays in the mind long after it is read. Unfairly neglected during his lifetime, only recently has this original, uncompromising novelist started to be reappraised as among the finest novelists writing in English in the twentieth century.
