How Much Land Does a Man Need?, by Leo Tolstoy

4.0

I quite enjoyed the first of the two short stories in this book, the title story "How much land does a man need?". It was an well told story of human greed, the story of a man who does nor know that the Devil is tricking him. There is a sort of religious, or spiritual, undertone about not seeking more than what is given to you and the dangerous temptations of riches, an undertone that is much more explicit in the second story. "What men live by" is definitely a more religious story, with a moral so heavy I felt like the story couldn't hold the weight of it.
