Cuanta Tierra Necesita un Hombre? (Spanish, Paperback)

A modern parable about human greed, this edition of the classic short story features illustrations that capture its dark and ironic tone as well as the provincial Russian landscape. Leo Tolstoy answers the question of the title by introducing Pakhom, an avaricious peasant whose desire for land is never satisfied. When Pakhom hears of a supposedly simple-minded family with a lot of property, he is excited to buy it from them at as low a price as possible. However, the family plays a trick on Pakhom, causing his greed to get the better of him and disclosing the moral message of the tale. "Una parabola modernisima sobre la avaricia humana, esta edicion del cuento clasico tiene ilustraciones que capturan su tono oscuro e ironico asi como el paisaje ruso provincial. Lev Tolstoi contesta la pregunta del titulo presentando a Pajom, un campesino avaricioso cuyo deseo por la propiedad nunca esta satisfecho. Cuando Pajom se entera de una familia supuestamente ingenua con mucha propiedad, esta entusiasmado de comprarla de la familia al menor precio posible. Sin embargo, la familia engana a Pajom, cuya avaricia lo supera, revelando el mensaje moral del cuento."
