Ships with careful packing from Japan. This volume is part of the prestigious Iwanami Bunko series, one of Japan's most respected and enduring literary paperback collections. Established in 1927 by Iwanami Shoten Publishers, the Iwanami Bunko series has been instrumental in making world literature, classical Japanese texts, and important scholarly works accessible to the Japanese reading public for nearly a century. This volume belongs to the Red Band (Foreign Literature) of the Iwanami Bunko classification system.This Japanese translation presents five folk tales by Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910), the towering Russian novelist and moral philosopher. Anchored by the title story 'What Men Live By,' these tales represent Tolstoy's later period, when he turned from the psychological realism of his great novels to create simple, powerful parables drawn from Russian folk tradition and Christian moral teaching. Written in a deliberately plain style accessible to peasant readers, these stories explore fundamental questions about the meaning of life, the nature of goodness, and the spiritual dimensions of human existence with a directness and moral force that transcend cultural boundaries.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. The compact bunko format (A6 size, approximately 4.1 x 5.8 inches) makes it highly portable, fitting easily into a bag or coat pocket for reading on the go.Country of Origin: JapanPublisherIwanami Shoten (岩波書店) SeriesIwanami Bunko (Red Band (Foreign Literature)) Author / EditorLeo Tolstoy LanguageJapanese FormatBunko Paperback (A6, approx. 4.1 x 5.8 in / 105 x 148 mm) ISBN-104003261917 ISBN-139784003261910 Catalog Number619-1 Country of OriginJapan Shipping FedEx, Japan Post, USPS ,etc(Not available for selection) Terms of Sale *A tracking number is provided for all orders.*In principle, the package will be delivered within 4 weeks after the tracking number is uploaded, but delays may occur depending on international conditions.
