In \u003cem\u003eMaster and Man\u003c\/em\u003e (1895), a grasping trader and his peasant are caught out overnight in a blizzard, and one of them makes a choice that redeems a life. In \u003cem\u003eHow Much Land Does a Man Need?\u003c\/em\u003e (1886), a man is offered all the land he can walk around in a day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTogether they are Tolstoy at his most searching, plain, terrible and merciful, in the classic English translation by Louise and Aylmer Maude.
