How Much Land Does a Man Need? by Leo Tolstoy
4.0
Tolstoy’s laconic style and thought provoking messages inside his writing is what makes me love books so much.
He doesn’t overindulge in the nuance of words, but the nuance of meaningful storytelling.
The first story takes you through the life of a peasant, who proclaims to be happier than his rich counterpart, yet after attaining some extra land, the slippery slope of greed only seems to get steeper the further you succumb to it.
I particularly liked the second short story. The proclivities and nature of man; the power of good deeds, living in the present, and being grateful - sometimes pays off in experiences you could never have before fathomed.
