Hadji Murat (novel)
''Hadji Murat'' is a novella written by Leo Tolstoy from 1896 to 1904 and published posthumously in 1912 (though not in full until 1917). It titular protagonist Hadji Murat is an Avar rebel commander who, for reasons of personal revenge, forges an uneasy alliance with the Russians he has been fighting. Inspiration The theme of struggle while remaining faithful resonated with Tolstoy even though he was in ailing health; later letters suggest this work gave him a brief, final moment of vigor.

An even clearer theme is the strug ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
