About the author
Leo Tolstoy
7,275听books27.2k听followersLev Nikolayevich Tolstoy (Russian: 袥械胁 袧懈泻芯谢邪械胁懈褔 孝芯谢褋褌芯泄; most appropriately used Liev Tolstoy; commonly Leo Tolstoy in Anglophone countries) was a Russian writer who primarily wrote novels and short stories. Later in life, he also wrote plays and essays. His two most famous works, the novels War and Peace and Anna Karenina, are acknowledged as two of the greatest novels of all time and a pinnacle of realist fiction. Many consider Tolstoy to have been one of the world's greatest novelists. Tolstoy is equally known for his complicated and paradoxical persona and for his extreme moralistic and ascetic views, which he adopted after a moral crisis and spiritual awakening in the 1870s, after which he also became noted as a moral thinker and social reformer.
His literal interpretation of the ethical teachings of Jesus, centering on the Sermon on the Mount, caused him in later life to become a fervent Christian anarchist and anarcho-pacifist. His ideas on nonviolent resistance, expressed in such works as The Kingdom of God Is Within You, were to have a profound impact on such pivotal twentieth-century figures as Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr.

When Leo Tolstoy was a young man, he got lost one night in a snowstorm somewhere in the Rostov region. Two years later, he published (1856), a semi-autobiographical short story about a man and his coachman caught in a blizzard. Forty years later, Tolstoy wrote Master and Man (1895), a very similar story about a greedy landowner who travels on a sleigh with a peasant to get to an important business meeting. Both are stopped in the middle of the night by a life-threatening white-out. In the end, the landowner reaches a sort of epiphany and sacrifices himself to save his companion.
Master and Man is undoubtedly more 鈥渕asterful鈥� than The Snowstorm: the characters are more detailed, the plot is more cohesive, dramatic, 鈥渢eleologically鈥� driven, and the ending is more meaningful and emotional. Still, to my taste, Master and Man lacks the freshness, randomness, spontaneity, and the sense of wonder of the earlier story. Also, The Snowstorm displays a proto-example of stream of consciousness, quite a remarkable feature for the time.
Stories about men abandoned in the middle of a frozen wilderness have greatly influenced such authors as Jack London (). The famous storm sequence in , Akira Kurosawa鈥檚 underrated Russian masterpiece, also harks back to Tolstoy鈥檚 stories.

The very meaning of life is sometimes learned through unexpected events or turmoils that may happen at-least once in our lives. My grandfather once told me :" You realize that the things you deem important would prove otherwise at one stage of your life".This is a complicated thought that you may only experience in due time and may not comprehend it wholly before that particular time frame. I still don't get it though I feel it is true.
Leo Tolstoy's 'Master and Man' is the story of a man who considers money and other material benefits as life's sole purpose, and he gets impelled by the same monetary thoughts to embark on a journey and gets eventually stuck in a desolate, hostile place where nothing he deemed important could save him. The ordeal brings out the human in him and kindles kindness and benevolence for his fellow peasant friend he formerly despised.
Nothing more to say!

Best short story yet from Tolstoy and a great choice for winter-themed reads. The criticism surrounding Tolstoy's shorter works is accurate. It is easier to see the message within the story's construction. However, that doesn't mean his short works are bad. He is too great a writer not to let his characters come alive. The beauty of 'Master and Man' is that the harsh realities of class distinctions he wants to portray are eclipsed by a gentle ending that doesn't necessarily align with his criticism.

鈥淚t seems a pity to give up what one is used to and accustomed to. But there's nothing to be done, I shall get used to the new things.鈥�
There are certain stories that somehow you don鈥檛 expect to enjoy quite a bit, maybe because your first assumption is that they are too short, and therefore, it will be difficult to find something truly remarkable inside, or because these novels or novellas are not so famous as other books written by the same author; however, in the end it turns out that you have read one of the most meaningful, important readings in your life, and eventually it will be impossible for you to forget it. Well, that was exactly what happened to me when I finished reading Master and Man.
Master and Man is a short story, about 50 pages long, but it is still more powerful, and more significant than other longer books that I have read so far. It is basically the story of two men, a master and his servant, and a horse, who set off on a journey in order for the master to do business in a nearby town. Unfortunately, some obstacles on their way, including a blizzard, might turn their trip into a dangerous experience.
What I mainly enjoyed reading this book was its narrative, which was genuinely beautiful, and then, the fact that I could get something quite meaningful from the plot. My interpretation is about a person's life, someone who is trying to pursue their goals, dreams or desires (business/town), but some problems or difficulties (blizzard) are nevertheless there in order to remind us of how difficult life may be. This is not bad news though, since you, the person who is getting through this bad experience, are learning a powerful life lesson because of that situation; in my opinion, that was exactly what our protagonists learned at the end of the story.
I was saying to a friend of mine that this book was the perfect example of embracing our humanity, and how, when we all are in the middle of nowhere (literally or figuratively speaking) as well as in the middle of difficulty, everyone is equal, there are no masters or servants facing adversity, but only people, only human beings who love, dream, and therefore, live.
This book, as you can see, has become like a valuable lesson in my life. I can't help but wholeheartedly recommend this short story, and maybe, who knows, it will be an enjoyable, and satisfying experience for you as well.

21st book of 2022
Master and Man by Leo Tolstoy is a phenomenal short story that tackles themes that could very well have warranted a much larger novel. However, Tolstoy knew what he was doing. A true champion of writing the human tragedy, Tolstoy had no fear of diving head first into themes of self revelation, and spiritual awakening in a story that takes only a few hours to consume.
I read this piece twice. And upon completion of the second reading, only a few moments ago at the time of me writing this review, I am left with a feeling of hope in my soul. Humanity is renewed in these seventy two short pages. I found within them, solace and comfort. I was reminded of the ability and possibility of change that resides inside each of us.
I will be reading and re-reading this story for the rest of my life. I have been lucky this year to have loved almost every book with a passion, but this, will have an even more special place on my shelf, and in my heart. Five stars.

I ended my reading year in 2019 with Leo Tolstoy鈥檚 Where Love Is There God is Also and started the new year and decade with his novella, Master and Man, a moving story of only 78 pages. In both, Tolstoy conveyed an unmistakable respect for the spiritual in the midst of the daily grind.
It is the day after Christmas and extremely cold. Vasily Andreyevich Brekhunov, a merchant and inn keeper, is eager to purchase a grove that promises to make him even richer. In order to secure the purchase ahead of other bidders, he decides to undertake a journey with his laborer, Nikita, even though the weather is totally beastly and dangerous for travel.
Nikita is a very poor peasant and has barely any clothing on him that is warm enough to accompany his master on a sleigh. The two set out and are soon hopelessly lost in a blizzard. Even the horse is weakened by the unbearable cold.
It is obvious that Vasily is an avaricious and self-serving master. He spares no thought for his poor servant and the horse and at one point decides to strike out on his own and leave them to die. Vasily鈥檚 close shave with death precipitates an epiphanic moment that changes the master-servant relationship in a manner I did not expect but welcomed.
I need to read more Tolstoy.

As I expressed elsewhere, I regret that Tolstoy is primarily known for the works he himself later dismissed as "being not true to life", I mean War and Peace, Anna Karenina. While these are great novels, they are primarily entertainment vehicles whereas his later novellas are filled to the brim with what many find as the true essence of literature.
This little novella is no different. One could find issues with it in its irrelevant set up for our contemporary world, in its deeply religious overtones but if one looks below the surface one finds that same existential mystery that pervaded much of the 20th century's literature.
In addition to asking relavant questions Tolstoy manages to remain a master storyteller. When you think you know how the story is going to end, he has a surprise for you up his sleeve.

Amid a snowstorm's cold, a master and his servant travel to a nearby town to close a deal. Faced with the unleashed elements, common sense would want them to turn around; this is what Nikita thinks about his master's reluctance. But his greed is more significant than his survival instinct. They will be lost, and the servant cannot save his master鈥攁 beautiful, chilling, and moral novel.

My God! These Russians. I know this is perhaps an irreverent way of addressing Tolstoy, but I can't help but club him with the group of illustrious Russian writers that gave the world so much to treasure. Sometimes I wonder how every single one of them can be so damn bloody brilliant. Amazing and awe-inspiring. I have no words or at least I don't have words enough to describe the beauty of this work.
Perhaps it is an irony of the highest order that a country, which has been headed mostly by a group of fascists and nutjobs who did not believe in either freedom of speech or expression, could've been the homeland of so many of these bright, shining stars in the world of literature.

How good is Tolstoy - seriously, truly worthy of the title of literary GIANT. I have not read War and Peace, and this novella would only make up a few humble pages of that monumental tome. Nonetheless, it is chock-full of gems. Everything you need is in this novella - it is the perfect example of writing perfection, every trick in the book.
It takes place over the course of one atmospheric evening in the Russian countryside. It is in the depths of Winter, snow abounds and a peasant sets out with his master by horse drawn sled into the night. Only one returns.
For a supremely short story, this narrative is exquisitely written. The suspense is high, the impending doom is real. There is a deep sense of foreboding. What is clearly portrayed is the gross injustice between the classes and Tolstoy sends a real mockery of the upper class and aristocracy - they are abundantly stupid and selfish in this case.
I cried when the horse died - frozen to death and so loyal. I am working up to the level of commitment and attention span needed for Tolstoy鈥檚 major oeuvres. But this is an excellent taster of what is to come.

Master and Man is definitely the most Russian story I have ever read! For example, I give you this sentence:
"Nikita was gloomy because he passionately wanted vodka, and the one thing that could extinguish that desire was tea, but he had not yet been offered any."
The story is about a rich master and his underpaid servant going together on a quest to buy wood despite the atrocious weather conditions. You sense it's not going to end well (!) but the climax is actually rather moving, if a little heavy on the Christian symbolism.

A story I like by 鈥擸础驰!!!!
This is exciting and well told. A Russian landowner and his peasant servant are caught out in a blizzard. The horse, the poor horse, is freezing too. You feel the wind and the cold as they do.
This IS a story by Tolstoy, and so of course it also has a moral. It speaks of avarice and the happiness achieved by helping others. This even I could swallow. The exciting story makes it less of a lecture.
I like how the peasant is drawn--his intelligence and kindness toward the horse pulling their sleigh.
In the audio format, Walter Zimmerman reads the story. He is not hard to follow, but the production is faulty. It sounds like he is reading in an empty room that echoes.

He could do the epic as well as anyone, and, as proven with this, he also could handle the short-story format pretty well. Or, in other words, he didn't put a foot wrong in anything he set out to put pen to paper to. The artistic prowess displayed in his most famous novels might not be ever present here, but, as with Tolstoy, he had a way with words, and, more importantly, storytelling, just about as good as anyone else in history. So even reading a semi-decent Tolstoy story (this is nowhere near his his top level) you are still in awe of the man.
