How Much Land Does a Man Need?
By Leo Tolstoy
Pahom is a hardworking peasant who believes that life would be easier if he only had more land. At first, he wants just enough to feel secure, but every new opportunity makes him imagine a larger and richer future. As he tries to improve his position, his desire for land begins to shape his choices and his view of the world. Simple, sharp, and unforgettable, this short story is a powerful moral tale about greed, ambition, and the dangerous belief that happiness can be measured in possessions.
