"How Much Land Does a Man Need?" tells the story of a peasant named Pahom, who boasts that if he had enough land, he wouldn't fear the Devil. After a series of moves, however, it's clear that no matter how much land Pahom has, he will never truly be happy.
In this story, Pahom believes that owning land will solve all of his problems:
