About this book

Street encounters in Moscow lead Leo Tolstoy to examine the distance between charitable feeling and the conditions of poverty. Having moved to the city in 1881, he describes people asking for help and follows a detained peasant to a police station. His exchanges with officials expose the routine treatment of begging as an offence, while his work sawing wood with two peasants gives the account another view of earning a living.

These social essays also bring hardship into the lodging house. A washerwoman grows too ill to work, falls behind with her rent, and faces pressure to leave because her cough keeps other lodgers awake. Such closely observed cases sit alongside the book's Christian statements about sharing possessions and responsibility to others.
