Summary: "Master and Man" by Leo Tolstoy is a novella likely written during the late 19th century. The story revolves around the complex relationship between Vasili Andreevich Brekhunov, a greedy merchant, and his laborer Nikita, set against the backdrop of a winter journey filled with harsh weather conditions and personal struggles. The narrative explores themes of moral integrity, social class dynamics, and the human connection amid adversity. The opening of the novella introduces us to Vasili, an ambitious merchant preparing to undertake a journey to secure a profitable land deal. He is accompanied by Nikita, his loyal but often undervalued laborer, who has sworn off alcohol for a spell. As they set off into a stormy winter landscape, the contrast between Vasili's materialistic aspirations and Nikita's simplistic yet resilient character begins to unfold. The initial interaction between them hints at the deeper hierarchical and ethical conflicts that will emerge throughout their journey, foreshadowing a struggle that is not just against the elements, but also within their own souls.
