In the biting cold of a Russian winter, a wealthy landowner named Vasili Andreevich Brekhunov sets out on a reckless journey through the snow with his humble servant, Nikita. Vasili’s goal is purely selfish — to close a business deal that will make him even richer. But as the blizzard thickens and the two men lose their way in the endless white wilderness, his greed and arrogance begin to unravel.

At first, Vasili treats Nikita like little more than property — ordering him about, dismissing his advice, and thinking only of himself. But the storm has no regard for rank or wealth. As night falls and death’s shadow grows near, the two men are forced to confront their shared humanity in the face of nature’s indifference.

When the freezing wind bites deeper and their hope of rescue fades, Tolstoy’s story takes a profound turn. Vasili’s heart, once hardened by ambition, begins to thaw. In a moment of selfless love, he performs an act of sacrifice that transforms his soul — and reveals what it truly means to be alive.

Master and Man is one of Tolstoy’s most powerful tales — a stark, unforgettable journey from greed to grace, from self-interest to redemption. It captures the eternal struggle between the material and the spiritual, reminding us that in losing oneself for another, one may finally be saved.
