In 1851, at the age of twenty-two, Tolstoy joined the Russian army and travelled to the Caucasus as a soldier. The four years that followed were among the most significant in his life, and deeply influenced the stories collected here. Begun in 1852 but unfinished for a decade, The Cossacks describes the experiences of Olenin, a young cultured Russian who comes to despise civilization after spending time with the wild Cossack people. Sevastopol Sketches, based on Tolstoy's own experiences of the siege of Sevastopol in 1854-55, is a compelling consideration of the nature of war, while Hadji Murat, written towards the end of his life, returns to the Caucasus of Tolstoy's youth to explore the life of a great leader torn apart by a conflict of loyalties. Written at the end of the nineteenth century, it is amongst the last and greatest of Tolstoy's shorter works.

He is considered one of the greatest novelists in any language in all of human history, but many of Leo Tolstoy's works remain obscure today. This short novel, first published in 1862, gives us Dmitiri Olenin: reluctant soldier and ne'er-do-well aristocrat who falls in love with a peasant Cossack girl. Semi-autobiographical and considered by some to be among the most beautiful prose in the original Russian, it is essential reading for fans and students of Tolstoy's work. Russian writer COUNT LEV ("LEO") NIKOLAYEVICH TOLSTOY (1828-1910) is best known for his novels War and Peace (1869) and Anna Karenina (1877).

A new translation into modern American English directly from the original Russian manuscript. This edition contains an Afterword by the translator, a timeline of Tolstoy's life and works, and a glossary of philosophic terminology used throughout Tolstoy's literature and philosophy. The Cossacks A Caucasian Tale of 1852 (1852) is a novella by Leo Tolstoy that recounts the experiences of a young Russian aristocrat, Olenin, who joins the military and travels to the Caucasus region. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Caucasus Mountains, the novella delves into Olenin's fascination with the Cossack way of life and his romantic involvement with a local girl named Maryanka. Through Olenin's journey of self-discovery and his interactions with the Cossacks, Tolstoy explores the clash between the allure of a simpler, unspoiled existence and the complexities of modern society. The novella's literary merit lies in its vivid descriptions of the natural world, its introspective portrayal of Olenin's character development, and its thematic exploration of the search for authentic meaning and belonging.
