About this listen
Russian writer Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) wrote The Devil in 1889. He wrote an alternative ending in 1909, but the book was only published in 1911.
After a year of marriage, Eugene Irtenev's wife, Liza, employs two peasant women. One of them is Stepanida, with whom Eugene had a passionate relationship prior to meeting Liza. Eugene notices Stepanida dancing, and their glances rekindle his desire. Tormented by lust, he thinks of resuming relations with her, but realizes that the affair would cause too much of a scandal. He can't stop thinking about her and decides that she must be sent away. In the alternate version of the ending, Eugene kills Stepanida with a revolver, is imprisoned, and eventually returns home a drunkard.
