Master and Man: A Story of Greed, Redemption, and the Power of Compassion (The Library of Alexandria Book 105)

What matters most when life is slipping away-power, wealth, or the legacy we leave behind? In Master and Man, Leo Tolstoy presents a gripping and poignant tale about a wealthy landowner, Vasili Brekhunov, who embarks on a fateful journey with his loyal yet underprivileged servant, Nikita. As they navigate a treacherous winter storm, Brekhunov's ruthless pursuit of profit blinds him to the danger ahead-until nature forces him to confront his own mortality.
