Book Overview

The Snowstorm is a short story by the renowned Russian author Leo Tolstoy. The story is set in the 19th century and follows the journey of a young nobleman named Dmitry Ivanovich. Dmitry, who is traveling to visit his fianc�����e, gets caught in a snowstorm and seeks refuge in a small village. There, he meets a young woman named Marya, who takes him in and offers him shelter for the night. As the night progresses, the two become increasingly drawn to each other, and Dmitry begins to question his commitment to his fianc�����e. However, the next morning, the snowstorm has passed, and Dmitry must leave Marya and continue on his journey. The story explores themes of love, duty, and the consequences of our choices.
