Hadji Murad | Leo Nikolayevich Tolstoy

5 posts | 20 read | 1 reading | 3 to read

In 1851 Leo Tolstoy enlisted in the Russian army and was sent to the Caucasus to help defeat the Chechens. During this war a great Avar chieftain, Hadji Murad, broke with the Chechen leader Shamil and fled to the Russians for safety. Months later, while attempting to rescue his family from Shamil s prison, Hadji Murad was pursued by those he had betrayed and, after fighting the most heroic battle of his life, was killed. Tolstoy, witness to many of the events leading to Hadji Murad s death, set down this story with painstaking accuracy to preserve for future generations the horror, nobility, and destruction inherent in war."

Hadji Murat | Leo Nikolayevich Tolstoy

so-so

Anna Katerina still remains my favorite Tolstoy novel. This was a slow read, even for just over a hundred pages it was difficult to pick back up. The very ending of the book was my favorite part as it was finally over.

Hadji Murat | Leo Nikolayevich Tolstoy

so-so

The tale of Hadji Murat is true to a certain point because it's mentioned that he transcribed letters and conversations but it's also mentioned that he took liberties so how much is true and how much is fiction I don't know. The story was interesting if a big bogged down by getting in all the dates and times in the right place.
