Inspired by the author's military service, Hadji Murád offers riveting views of warfare and treason, murder and vengeance, and behind-the-scenes political plotting. An uncharacteristically brief story by the creator of War and Peace, it voices Tolstoy's pacifist beliefs.This novella also provides a compelling depiction of the Caucasus, a mountainous territory between the Black Sea and the Caspian, prized for its strategic location and natural resources. Located at the crossroads of three empires - Turkey, Persia, and Russia - the region has long struggled with incursions by its neighbors and remains a troubled corner of the world to this day. Tolstoy's realistic pictures of life in a war zone raise enduringly relevant issues of life and death.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51937962393888,"sku":"NEW048647366X","price":17.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81vo2IJO46L.jpg?v=1783108685","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/hadji-murad-048647366x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
