“How Much Land Does a Man Need” is a folktale. The characters are Russian peasants, people who actually work and derive sustenance from the land. In this story though, their simple life is complicated by a character with other motives, the Devil.
Born into Russian nobility, Tolstoy became less and less satisfied with his wealth and talent and good fortune as he grew older. He even wanted to renounce the royalties from his famous novels, feeling strongly that no man should have so much while others starved.
This renunciation of wealth is ironically the unwritten message of this folktale. The title question is a universal metaphor for greed. Pakhom, a peasant farmer, is relatively successful and content with his life—except for this question.
