Édition bilingue Russe-Français avec le texte parallèle
"Si vous jugez vous ne comprenez pas"
La nouvelle Le Coupon Falsifié, également publié en français sous le titre "Le Faux Coupon", raconte les conséquences de la falsification d'un coupon, tout d'abord les malheurs en cascade qui en découlent : démission, licenciements, faux témoignage, vols, lynchages, assassinats, puis par les paroles de la plus simple des femmes le retour dans un cercle vertueux. Les personnages se croisent et les interactions touchent toutes les couches de la société, du tsar aux moujiks.
Les actions sont rapides, à peine décrites, seules les conséquences intéressent l'auteur. Les personnages apparaissent et disparaissent, seul le coupon, qui représente le mal, et le bagnard Stépane, qui représente le bien, sont les héros de cette nouvelle.

"Since you judge, it means obviously that you don't know"
The Falsified Coupon is a novella in two parts by Leo Tolstoy. In Part I, schoolboy Mitya is in desperate need of money to repay a debt, but his father angrily denies him assistance. Dejected, under the instigation of a friend Makhin, Mitya simply changes a 2.50 rouble bond coupon to read 12.50 roubles, but this one evil deed sets off a chain of events that affects the lives of dozens of others, when his one falsehood indirectly causes a man to murder a woman at the end of Part I, and then seek redemption through religion in Part II.
Having written the novella in his dying years, after his excommunication, Tolstoy relishes the chance to unveil the "pseudo-piety and hypocrisy of organized religion." Yet, he maintains an unwavering belief in man's capacity to find truth, so the story remains hopeful, especially in Part II, which shows that good works can affect another as in a domino effect, just as evil does in Part I. The novella has also been translated with the title "The Forged Coupon", "The Counterfeit Note" and "The Forged Banknote".
Léon Tolstoï - nom francisé de Lev Nikolaïevitch Tolstoï; né le 9 septembre (28 août) 1828 à Iasnaïa Poliana et mort le 20 novembre (7 novembre) 1910 à Astapovo, en Russie, est un écrivain célèbre surtout pour ses romans et nouvelles qui dépeignent la vie du peuple russe à l'époque des tsars, mais aussi pour ses essais, dans lesquels il prenait position par rapport aux pouvoirs civils et ecclésiastiques et voulait mettre en lumière les grands enjeux de la civilisation.
Lev Nikolaevic Tolstoj nasce a Jasnaja Poljana, in Russia, il 9 settembre 1828 da una famiglia di tradizioni aristocratiche, appartenente alla vecchia nobiltà russa.
Questa condizione influenzerà tutta la sua esistenza: da un punto di vista positivo perché avrà opportunità che altri non avranno, ma anche da un punto di vista negativo perché lo distinguerà dagli altri letterati del suo tempo da cui si sentirà spesso escluso.
