Written in the final years of Leo Tolstoy's life, this novella illustrates with relentless clarity how a single act of dishonesty ripples outward through Russian society, corrupting and destroying lives across every social stratum. The narrative unfolds with the stern moral urgency that defines Tolstoy's late period, presenting a searing indictment of greed, spiritual decay, and the capacity for evil that lurks beneath the surface of everyday life. Yet the story is ultimately one of redemption, as Tolstoy argues with characteristic conviction that goodness, once awakened, is just as contagious as sin.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956184002779,"sku":"2026200008038-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/2aa929e0-2601-4890-90de-b4c00b19385f.png?v=1783498814","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200008038-secondhand-the-forged-coupon","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
