Description

In "Master and Man," Tolstoy delivers a gripping tale of Vasili Andreevich and Nikita, master and servant, embroiled in a life-and-death struggle against a merciless winter storm. As they journey to secure a business deal, nature's fury forces them to confront their social standings, their morality, and ultimately, the essence of human connection. This illuminating story evolves into a profound exploration of sacrifice, compassion, and the transformative power of empathy, revealing the true master as one who serves.

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.
