This volume belongs to the Red Band (Foreign Literature) of the Iwanami Bunko classification system.This Japanese translation presents eight folk tales by Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910), centered on the title story 'Ivan the Fool.' These tales belong to Tolstoy's remarkable late period, when the author of War and Peace and Anna Karenina devoted himself to creating moral literature for the common people. 'Ivan the Fool' is a masterful retelling of a traditional Russian tale about a simple peasant who triumphs over the Devil through honest labor and kindness, embodying Tolstoy's philosophy that true wisdom lies in simplicity, non-violence, and productive work rather than in cleverness, wealth, or military power.Printed on high-quality, acid-free paper with a sewn binding that allows the book to lie flat when open, each Iwanami Bunko edition is designed for both comfortable reading and long-term preservation.
