Melville House Press makes a great little book in The Devil

I read this while also reading the tail end of Tolstoy's War & Peace and so have this juxtaposition in mind.

The folks at Melville House Press have produced a beautiful little book in The Devil. Here, Tolstoy paints the characters just as vividly, but with an appropriately singular--relentless--focus. You are with the protagonist, Yvegeny, throughout his struggles with fidelity and like him, the poor fellow, have nothing to distract you from Stepanida's dark eyes.

In the Melville House edition, you'll have both of Tolstoy's endings which are very different and yet land with the same two final paragraphs, and the cover has end flaps that serve as bookmarks--assuming you can put the book down. I see myself eating Melville House Press' entire Art of the Novella series, book by book.

This beautifully packaged series of classic novellas includes the works of Anton Chekhov, Colette, Henry James, Herman Melville, and Leo Tolstoy. These collectible editions are the first single-volume publications of these classic tales, offering a closer look at this underappreciated literary form and providing a fresh take on the world's most celebrated authors.

A young aristocrat and landowner confronts his growing desire for a beautiful peasant woman in this brilliant exploration of sexual relations and their uneasy place in society. This seductive tale also includes a rarely seen second ending.
