Master and Man and Other Stories
By: Tolstoy
Penguin Classics
Soft Cover
Good Condition
"The three stories in the volume date from the last two decades of Tolstoy's life. Both "Master and Man" (1895) and "Father Sergius" (1898) present a familiar Tolstoyan theme - a man's discovery, through experience, of the "truth" of life. In the case of Sergius, the society man turned monk, the discovery comes only when, after a life of outward sanctity, the succumbs to sexual temptation. In "Master and Man" it is by undergoing a life-and-death crisis that Brekhunov, brash, arrogant and self-made, discovers the irrelevance of wealth and possessions and learns the satisfaction of self-sacrifice".
