The Forged Coupon
By Leo Tolstoy
- Default Title
Description
The Forged Coupon begins with a schoolboy who, desperate to repay a debt, alters a two-ruble coupon into a higher sum. Believing the harm to be trivial, he sets in motion a tragic sequence that pulls in peasants, merchants, gamblers, thieves, and priests. With each pass of the tainted note, Tolstoy unveils how ordinary people justify wrongdoing-and how unseen grace can still break through the darkness.
