- Summary:
- Divine and Human stands apart as both a landmark in literary history and a master-piece of spiritual and ethical reflection. Suppressed in turn by the tsarist and Soviet regimes, the tales contained in this book have, for the most part, never been published in English until now. Emerging at last, they offer western readers fresh glimpses of novelist and philosopher Leo Tolstoy.
