Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Devil_(novella) Translation of Дьявол. Laura Natal Rodrigues (Images generously made available by Hathi Trust Digital Library.) "The Devil" by Leo Tolstoy is a novella written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the inner turmoil and moral conflicts of its protagonist, Eugene Irtenev, a well-educated young man of high social standing who faces a profound crisis driven by sexual desire and personal integrity. As he grapples with temptation and confronts the consequences of his actions, the narrative explores themes of morality, temptation, and the complex dynamics of human relationships. At the start of the story, Tolstoy introduces Eugene as a man with a promising future, who takes on the management of his late father's estate after uncovering financial troubles. While he attempts to navigate his responsibilities, Eugene becomes increasingly restless and struggles against repressed desires for women, particularly a peasant woman named Stepanida. Despite his initial resolve to remain virtuous, he finds himself drawn into a web of temptation, leading to a duplicity that threatens his marriage and moral compass. The opening portion sets the stage for a gripping exploration of desire, guilt, and the pursuit of redemption.
