A Landowner's Morning
Leo Tolstoy
Story drawn from an abandoned novel (A Novel of a Russian Landowner). Prince Dmitri Nekhlyudov, nineteen, leaves university to improve his serfs' lives and visits their huts one morning, only to meet the peasants' distrust and the futility of his philanthropy. It reflects Tolstoy's own attempts at Yasnaya Polyana. Published in 1856.
