Master and Man: A Story of Greed, Redemption, and the Power of Compassion (Deluxe Hardbound Edition) - Hardcover

by Leo Tolstoy (Author), Tim Zengerink (Translator)

What matters most when life is slipping away-power, wealth, or the legacy we leave behind?

In Master and Man, Leo Tolstoy presents a gripping and poignant tale about a wealthy landowner, Vasili Brekhunov, who embarks on a fateful journey with his loyal yet underprivileged servant, Nikita. As they navigate a treacherous winter storm, Brekhunov's ruthless pursuit of profit blinds him to the danger ahead-until nature forces him to confront his own mortality.

Caught in the unforgiving cold, the master and his servant face a test that will reveal the true measure of a man. Through this harrowing night, Tolstoy unravels the stark contrasts between privilege and humility, selfishness and sacrifice, and, ultimately, life and death.
