"Master and Man" is a short story written by Leo Tolstoy in 1895. The story
follows a landowner named Vasili Andreyevich Brekhunov and his peasant,
Nikita, on a journey to purchase a forest. They get caught in a blizzard and
lose their way, but Vasili Andreyevich is determined to press on. Nikita
becomes hypothermic and Vasili Andreyevich decides to leave him to die and
continue on his own. However, he eventually falls off his horse and finds
himself back with Nikita. He lies on top of Nikita to keep him warm and they
are eventually rescued by peasants. The story ends with Vasili Andreyevich
attaining a spiritual revelation and realizing that true happiness is found by
living for others. The story has been adapted into a 2012 British film called
"Boxing Day".
