Plot synopsis
Lyonya lives alone. Alone, he runs a farm; alone, he sows, ploughs, and reaps the small harvest. But it is impossible to say that Lyonya is lonely: he has a horse and a piglet. Lyonya loves the horse and the pig; the pig has got attached to the horse, and the horse protects the pig. Lyonya ploughs and carries loads on horseback and the pig amuses them both. These three are glued to each other and know everything about each other. That is why Lyonya is surprised how Tolstoy could portray a sadomasochistic horse in ìKholstomerî (The Strider), whilst people say he is a good writer...
