Summary "Mistä ihmiset elävät : ynnä muita kertomuksia" by Lev Lvovich Tolstoy is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The main narrative features a shoemaker named Semjon, who, amid his struggles for survival, encounters a mysterious naked man one cold day, leading to themes of compassion, poverty, and the essence of human connection. The book explores profound moral questions through its characters' experiences, emphasizing the importance of love and community. The opening of the book introduces Semjon, a struggling shoemaker, who is out of luck while trying to gather money to buy new sheepskins for a coat. After facing numerous disappointments while attempting to collect debts, he finds a naked man by a chapel, initially fearing the worst. However, the shoemaker's conscience compels him to help the man, which leads to a series of reflections on the nature of humanity and divine love. Through this encounter, the story sets the stage for profound revelations about the interconnectedness of human beings and the idea that people do not merely live for themselves but for one another through acts of love and kindness.
