Representaion In Favor Of Books How Much Land Does a Man Need?

Küçük kızkardeş: "Ne fark eder ki?" diye cevap verdi. "İşimiz kaba ve bayağı bir iş olabilir ama güvenilir bir iş. Hiç kimseye boyun eğmiyoruz. Ama şehirde sizin etrafınız insanı günaha teşvik edici şeylerle çevrilmiş. Bugün her şey yolunda olabilir, ama yarın şeytanın kocanı kumarla, kadınla, şarapla baştan çıkarmayacağı ne malum? O zaman her şey mahvolur. Böyle şeyler görülmemiş mi sanki?" Evin reisi Pahom, fırının üzerine uzanmış kardıların konuşmalarını dinliyordu. "Gerçekten de öyle" diye düşündü. "Biz köylüler çocukluğumuzdan ölümümüze kadar toprakla uğraştığımız için aklımıza böyle sersemce şeyler gelmez. Bizim tek sıkıntımız, yeterli toprağımızın olmayışıdır. Eğer istediğim kadar toprağım olsaydı, şeytandan bile korkmazdım."
(Tanıtım Yazısından)

Judge Based On Books How Much Land Does a Man Need?

Wow what a fantastic short story about a greedy man. It reads almost like a parable, Tolstoy seems to have a lot of contempt for Pahom whose greed for more and more land gives the Devil an idea to play with him.Tolstoy was such a talented writer and he shows it in this story by drawing you in very quickly and leaving you almost out of breath at the end.One of Tolstoy's best, thanks to Kevin Ansbrofor the recommendation.

If you're thinking to read a short story then read this one. It will be the finest short story you are ever going to read. James Joyce wrote to his daughter that it is "the greatest story that the literature of the world knows". Truly a masterpiece! A timeless story.



"The further one goes, the better the land seems."I had pretty high hopes for these stories anyway, and to be honest I initially thought that it was just one story, turns out it is two. I feel so smart. But the second one was as good as the other.The first one "How Much Land Does a Man Need?" delt with greed and how it could potentially destroy our lives. I think the story is a perfect representation of todays' society. People feel so protective of material things that have absolutley no value

When I was reviewing another classic Russian short story of avarice, The Queen of Spades by Alexander Pushkin, I kept asking myself, what was that other Russian short story about greed, where the man is walking around the grasslands, stepping off the land he wants to claim, and who wrote it? Well, it was Leo Tolstoy, duh, and this was the story (thank you, Google). It's fairly straightforward, but the ending packs a punch, and it's always stuck with me.Tolstoy wrote this short story/novelette in

Masterfully written.If you are looking for a story to read in a short span, it must be your first choice!

My last book before I plunge myself back into The Brothers Karamazov and I chose this one. It was a very good short story that is a morality tale but is not anvilicious. The last words in this story are truer now than when Tolstoy wrote them. Well, back to Dostoevsky!
