N. Tolstoy. The book "Приусадебное хозяйство" (Subsistence Farming) by A. N. Tolstoy tells the story of a group of people who have been living in a small village for generations. The villagers rely solely on subsistence farming to survive, relying on their own resources and skills to cultivate the land and raise livestock. However, as time passes, the villagers face challenges from external forces that threaten their way of life. The story explores how they adapt to these changes and find new ways to survive in a rapidly evolving world. The plot revolves around the main character, Alexey, who has inherited his father's farm after his death. He struggles to maintain the traditional methods of farming and animal husbandry that have been passed down through generations, while also trying to adapt to the changing times. As the years go by, Alexey faces numerous challenges such as droughts, floods, pests, and diseases that affect crops and animals.
