Everybody knows it s our business to score. You don t get a chance to get a bite of any thing, and you don t get to bed till two o clock o nights, but you re always being screamed at to bring the balls. One day while a scorer is keeping tally in a billiard room, a well-dressed stranger comes through the door. Soon, the scorer finds in him a willing apponent. But the more the scorer wins, the more he wish they d never started playing.Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) was a Russian author, a master of realistic fiction and one of the world’s greatest novelists. Tolstoy’s major works include War and Peace (1865-69) and Anna Karenina (1875-77), two of the greatest novels of all time and pinnacles of realist fiction. Beyond novels, he wrote many short stories and later in life also essays and plays.
