With a picture of Leo Tolstoy, a detailed biography of him is added.
This 1862 novel is Tolstoy's semiautobiographical narrative of young Olenin, a wealthy, dissatisfied Muscovite who joins the Russian army and journeys to the wild frontier of the Caucasus in quest of a more authentic life, in a colourful new translation by Peter Constantine. Olenin falls in love with a free-spirited girl whose fiancé turns out to be a formidable opponent while attempting to adapt the rough and ready lifestyle of the local Cossacks. This long-overdue translation is a revelation, displaying the intellectual depth that would distinguish Tolstoy's later classics.
