Synopsis "El Diablo (in Spanish)"

Yevgueni Irténev es un joven hacendado que mantiene una relación clandestina con Stepanida, una campesina casada. Cuando la madre de Yevgueni quiere proponerle matrimonio con una rica heredera que les ayude a pagar sus deudas, Yevgueni se enamora de un chica de clase media, Liza, con la que decide casarse después de romper su relación con Stepanida. Pero un año después comprueba que su pasión por Stepanida sigue intacta. Angustiado por su acuciante deseo e incapaz de evitar el escándalo, Evgueni ve peligrar su equilibrio mental y los cimientos de sus principios morales. El diablo, escrita en 1889, sólo fue publicada en 1911, tras la muerte de Tolstói, seguramente porque contenía elementos biográficos. En esta edición se ofrecen los dos finales que Tolstói escribió, sin decidirse por ninguno de los dos.

Lev Nikoláievich also known in Spanish as León Tolstói; 28 de agosto/ 9 de septiembre de 1828- Astápovo, now Lev Tolstói, Lipetsk province, 7 de noviembre/ 20 de noviembre de 1910) was a Russian novelist, considered one of the most important writers in world literature. His childhood was marked by the early loss of his parents, leading him to be raised by his aunts. From a young age, Tolstói showed an unusual intellectual restlessness and critical view towards traditional education, abandoning his traditional education studies, leaving university studies in Law and Oriental Languages at Kazan University after finding no meaning in them

His two most famous works, War and Peace and Anna Karenina, are considered the pinnacle of Russian realism, alongside works by Fyodor Dostoevsky. He received multiple nominations for the Nobel Prize in Literature every year from 1902 to 1906 and nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1901, 1902, and 1910; the fact that he never won is a major controversy of the Nobel Prize.

He is globally known for the novels War and Peace (1869) and Anna Karenina (1877), often cited as pinnacles of realistic fiction. He first achieved literary success in his youth with his semi-autobiographical trilogy, Childhood, Boyhood, and Youth (1852-1856), and Sebastopol Sketches (1855), based on his experiences in the Crimean War. Tolstói's fiction includes dozens of short stories and several novels such as The Death of Ivan Ilyich (1886), Family Happiness (1859), and Hadji Murat (1912). He also wrote plays and numerous philosophical essays.
