Master and Man Book

The very meaning of life is sometimes learned through unexpected events or turmoils that may happen at-least once in our lives. My grandfather once told me :" You realize that the things you deem important would prove otherwise at one stage of your life".This is a complicated thought that you may only experience in due time and may not comprehend it wholly before that particular time frame. I still don't get it though I feel it is true.

Leo Tolstoy's 'Master and Man' is the story of a man who considers money and other material benefits as life's sole purpose, and he gets impelled by the same monetary thoughts to embark on a journey and gets eventually stuck in a desolate, hostile place where nothing he deemed important could save him. The ordeal brings out the human in him and kindles kindness and benevolence for his fellow peasant friend he formerly despised.

Nothing more to say!
