A wealthy landowner and his servant set out by sleigh on a winter errand—simple, profitable, and urgent. But as night falls, the road disappears, the wind rises, and the journey turns into a fight for survival.
In Master and Man (1895), Leo Tolstoy delivers a tense, unforgettable moral tale set in a blizzard. Vasili Andreevich, driven by pride and greed, pushes forward when caution would turn back. Nikita, the hired man beside him, endures in silence. Lost in the snow, master and servant confront exhaustion, fear, and the stark question of what a life is worth when comfort and status no longer matter.
With Tolstoy’s trademark clarity and psychological power, this short story moves from suspense to revelation—showing how compassion can arrive at the edge of despair, and how a single night can transform a human soul.
