Sobre este e-book
A new translation into modern American English directly from the original Russian manuscript. This edition contains an Afterword by the translator, a timeline of Tolstoy's life and works, and a glossary of philosophic terminology used throughout Tolstoy's literature and philosophy. "Polikúshka: The Lot of a Wicked Court Servant" is a novella by Leo Tolstoy written in 1860 and first published in 1862. It is the story of a serf who loses some money belonging to his mistress. He then hangs himself. Ivan Turgenev, who was generally critical of Tolstoy, loved this work. Oscar Wilde also praised this particular novella. Compare this to Dostoevsky's The Meek One, which has a similar plot.
