The Candle is a short story written by the renowned Russian author Leo Tolstoy. The story follows the life of a simple candle, from its creation to its eventual destruction. The candle is initially proud of its purpose, to provide light and warmth to those around it. However, as time passes, the candle begins to realize the fleeting nature of its existence and the insignificance of its role in the grand scheme of things. The candle becomes consumed with the fear of death and the unknown, and ultimately burns out. Through the story of the candle, Tolstoy explores themes of mortality, purpose, and the human condition. The book is a poignant and thought-provoking read, and is considered a classic of Russian literature.THIS 30 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Kreutzer Sonata and Other Stories, by Leo Tolstoy.
