Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Master and Man" by graf Leo Tolstoy is a short story written in 1895. A wealthy landowner and his peasant servant set out by sleigh through a snowstorm, racing to secure a land deal before competitors arrive. When they lose their way in a blizzard, the master's greed drives them deeper into danger. Stranded in the freezing wilderness, the two men face a long night that will test not their endurance, but the very nature of what makes a life worth living.
