What Men Live By and Other Tales Story 4 - How Much Land Does a Man Need?

from The Tolstoy Library · host Leo Tolstoy

In which a peasant named Pahom, driven by his desire for more land and independence, ventures far beyond his village to claim a vast tract of virgin soil from the Bashkirs, imagining prosperity and freedom within his grasp. Yet, as he measures the expanse with relentless haste, the weight of his ambition reveals the true cost of earthly possessions in a world governed by a wiser hand.
