'The Forged Coupon' is the last of Tolstoy's novellas, and showcases his storytelling craft at its zenith, thus making it an excellent introduction to the works of this universally revered author. It is an ingenious and tightly-knit study of the destructive powers of evil set against a brilliant snapshot of Russian life, and should grip all readers previously unfamiliar with Tolstoy.
