The work primarily explores various aspects of peasant life in Russia, delving into themes of poverty, social injustice, and the moral obligations of individuals towards one another. Through Tolstoy’s keen observations and poignant storytelling, readers are invited to reflect on the conditions of the marginalized in society and the relationship between the wealthy and the needy. At the start of the collection, Tolstoy highlights the increasing presence of tramps and beggars in rural areas, illustrating the struggles of the impoverished peasantry who selflessly provide for the transient poor, even as they themselves face dire economic hardships. The narrative follows the daily interactions between these villagers and the tramps seeking shelter and food, with poignant depictions of both charity and desperation fostering a sense of communal responsibility. Tolstoy uses vivid character portrayals to confront the reader with moral questions regarding wealth, compassion, and the societal structures that perpetuate suffering, setting the tone for the sketches that follow.
