Hadji Murat
Novella portraying the defection of Muslim Chechen and famed warrior Hadji Murat to the enemy imperial Russians.
This is the final work of Tolstoy and despite its short length brims with life just the same as his sprawling novels.
At the back is a small Glossary of Caususian Mountaineer Words he uses throughout the novel that pull you further into this strange and holy world.
Strongly recommend, with the caveat it may be less appealing to the fairer sex as subject matter is mostly men and their fighting.
