Tolstoy's final work--a gripping novella about the struggle between
the Muslim Chechens and their inept occupiers--is a powerful moral
fable for our time.
Inspired by a historical figure Tolstoy heard about while serving
in the Caucasus, this story brings to life the famed warrior Hadji
Murat, a Chechen rebel who has fought fiercely and courageously
against the Russian empire. After a feud with his commander he
defects to the Russians, only to find that he is now trusted by
neither side. He is first welcomed but then imprisoned by the
Russians under suspicion of being a spy, and when he hears news of
his wife and son held captive by the Chechens, Murat risks all to
try to save his family. In the award-winning Pevear and Volokhonsky
translation, "Hadji Murat "is a thrilling and provocative portrait
of a tragic figure that has lost none of its relevance.
