Summary "Leo Tolstoin kertomuksia" by graf Leo Tolstoy is a collection of short stories likely written in the late 19th century. The book delves into moral and philosophical themes, presenting characters from various walks of life who grapple with issues related to love, duty, and the human condition. In particular, the opening story introduces us to a shoemaker named Simo, who embodies the struggle of the poor and the importance of compassion. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Simo, a shoemaker living in poverty with his wife and children. The narrative unfolds as Simo, after a failed attempt to buy a new coat, encounters a naked and cold man behind a chapel. Initially fearful and hesitant, Simo's conscience compels him to help the stranger, demonstrating his deeply ingrained sense of empathy. This opening sets the tone for the philosophical exploration of love, selflessness, and humanity that continues throughout the collection, as both Simo and the man he helps navigate the complexities of life and divine providence.
