DESCARGA
The forged coupon, and other stories
Samenvatting
This collection of stories by graf Leo Tolstoy, written between 1902 and 1904 and published in 1910, centers on the consequences of wrongdoing spreading through a community. In the title novella, a schoolboy commits a desperate act: he forges a bond coupon to repay a debt. That single lie sets off a chain reaction that affects many lives and escalates into further tragedy. Across the volume, Tolstoy examines how moral harm can ripple outward and touches on the possibility of renewal, suggesting that good deeds, like wrongdoing, can spread through society and counterbalance the damage.
