Synopsis

An elder sister came to visit her younger sister in the country. The elder was married to a tradesman in town, the younger to a peasant in the village. As the sisters sat over their tea talking, the elder began to boast of the advantages of town life: saying how comfortably they lived there, how well they dressed, what fine clothes her children wore, what good things they ate and drank, and how she went to the theatre, promenades, and entertainments. The younger sister was piqued, and in turn disparaged the life of a tradesman, and stood up for that of a peasant.

Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910) was a Russian writer who is regarded as one of the greatest authors of all time. He is best known for the novels 'War and Peace' and 'Anna Karenina', often cited as pinnacles of realist fiction. He first achieved literary acclaim with his semi-autobiographical trilogy, 'Childhood', 'Boyhood', and 'Youth', and 'Sevastopol Sketches', based upon his experiences in the Crimean War. Tolstoy's fiction includes dozens of short stories and several novellas such as 'The Death of Ivan Ilyich', 'Family Happiness', and 'Hadji Murad'.
