"The Village" by Ivan Alekseevich Bunin is a story set in the Russian countryside during the early 1900s about the Krasoff family, particularly Tikhon Ilitch, who tries to make his way through a world that's changing fast. The book looks close at big ideas like love, sadness, and how hard it was to live in rural Russia back then. Tikhon's life is all about trying to get ahead in business, mainly by selling grain and liquor, but he's also really sad because he doesn't have any kids, which makes things tough for him and his wife, Nastasya Petrovna. As the story goes on, Tikhon has to deal with feeling jealous, big changes in society caused by war and other events, and the difficulties that come from chasing his dreams while also trying to please others and his community.
