Master and Man

Master and Man

Leo Tolstoy

Translated by Aylmer Maude

Published in 1895, 'Master and Man' by Leo Tolstoy tells the story of a landowner, Vasili Andreevich, who embarks on a journey with his peasant, Nikita, during a blizzard.

This novella highlights Tolstoy's recurring theme that true happiness is found in living for others, making it a significant work in his exploration of human morality.
