Description

Merchant Vasili and servant Nikita ride into a merciless winter storm for a business deal, and the cold forces a reckoning of class, conscience, and care. Tolstoy's story of sacrifice and compassion under lethal weather. Spoken as when the master learns that only serving keeps another soul alive.

Author

Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910) was born to a titled family at Yasnaya Polyana, served in the Crimean War, and wrote the two novels that made Russian fiction a world event: War and Peace and Anna Karenina. The first holds a nation at war and at home; the second holds a marriage until it breaks. Later he turned from the worldly novel toward essays and moral tales, arguing with church, property, and his own fame. One hundred and six titles here.
