The title story chronicles the fateful journey of a greedy merchant and his peasant servant through a savage snowstorm, ultimately presenting a profound meditation on sacrifice, redemption, and what it means to live a good life. Alongside it, the collection gathers further tales that illuminate the social tensions and spiritual yearnings of nineteenth-century Russia with unflinching honesty and compassion. Tolstoy's prose is deceptively spare yet charged with moral urgency, arguing through character and circumstance that true humanity is found not in wealth or status, but in selfless connection with others. Together, these stories stand as essential works of world literature, confirming Tolstoy's unrivalled mastery of the short form.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956423143643,"sku":"2026200008882-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/5d480b7c-d61f-4fbf-97d6-158ebf20ff5e.png?v=1783500848","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200008882-secondhand-master-and-man-and-other-stories","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
