Description: 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.
