"How Much Land Does a Man Need" by the great Russian writer Leo Tolstoy. The story is on the internet at:
http://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/t/tolstoy/leo/t65wm/chapter4.html
The theme is the nature, power and result of human greed. A man is given the opportunity to have all the land that he can walk around in a single day. Tolstoy outlines this man's thought process as he keeps seeing more good land if he just goes over here or over there. As the day is ending, the man is frantically trying to make it back to the finish point. You have to read the ending but Tolstoy does tell us how much land all of us really need.
