About this book
In a harsh winter landscape, "Master and Man" by Leo Tolstoy explores the intricate dynamics between wealth and morality. As Vasili Andreevich Brekhunov, a self-serving merchant, embarks on a perilous journey with his laborer Nikita, the novella delves into themes of greed, compassion, and the human spirit's resilience. Through their stark contrasts, Tolstoy examines the essence of true humanity against the backdrop of survival. This profound narrative invites students, civic activists, and historians to reflect on the nature of power and the moral choices that define us. With its rich character development and philosophical depth, "Master and Man" remains a timeless exploration of the human condition, urging readers to consider what it means to be truly alive.
