Hadji Murat | Lev L'Vovic Tolstoi

4 posts | 19 read | 1 reading | 3 to read

When Hadji Murat, a revered and feared Avar commander in the struggle of Dagestan and Chechnya against incorporation into the Russian empire, falls out with his commander, Imam Shamil, the only way to save his family's life is to surrender to the Russian forces. Though they respect his prowess, the Russians do not trust Murat enough to allow him to lead a force against Shamil--forcing him to find another way to rescue his family. This short novel, the last written by Tolstoy, is an exciting, moving tale of sacrifice and valiance filled with vivid and expertly drawn characters.

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.
