 Books Translated by

'''RESURRECTION. By Count Leo Tolstoi.''' (Published 1900.) It depicts with a master hand the ocean of life rocked by storm and lulled to sleep and ease. In the splash of every wave is heard the story of human emotions, misery, disenchantment, suffering, crime, and life, that is true—even in art. Illustrated. Cloth bound. Price, $1.00; postpaid.

“FOMA GORDEYEYV.” By Maxim Gorky. (Published 1901.) This book made Gorky’s literary reputation in Russia, Germany and France. It is a most remarkable novel. The New York Evening Post says:

This version of Foma Gordeyey is in no way abridged, giving the exact reproduction of the thought and expression of the author. Cloth bound. Price, $1.00; postpaid.

'''THE SEVEN WHO WERE HANGED. By Leonid Andreyey.''' (Published 1909.) What reviewers say:

Cloth bound. Price, $1.00; postpaid.

'''THE FORGED COUPON. By Count Leo Tolstoi.''' (Published 1912.) This story shows the successive evil and wrong resulting from the forging of a bank note by a student in need of money. Numerous crimes succeed each other as a result of this first wrong act, until the wave of crime is checked by a poor, ignorant woman and a lame tailor, who follow the real teaching of Christ. The book contains also After the Ball, a story of love and military life; Korney Vasilyey, a story of peasant life; Tolstoi’s Vital Humanitarian Ideas, giving the very essence of the fountain-spring and incentive of all the literary work ever written by this wonderful man—a peep, as it were, at the power-works of his thinking machine.
