Tolstoy is a collection of children's fables and stories likely written in the late 19th century. This compilation showcases Tolstoy's talent for storytelling while imparting moral lessons through simple narratives, often featuring animals as characters in allegorical tales. The opening of the work introduces a series of fables adapted from Aesop and other traditions. Each fable contains a clear moral lesson, such as the benefits of cooperation, the pitfalls of pride, and the importance of honesty. For instance, the well-known tale of "The Ant and the Dove" illustrates how acts of kindness can lead to reciprocal help in times of need. These early tales set the stage for a broader exploration of moral truths, encompassing human behavior and natural phenomena, capturing the essence of learned life lessons aimed at young readers.
