Hadji Murat - Leo Tolstoy

Hadji Murat – Leo Tolstoy 

Hadji Murat is Tolstoy’s final masterpiece—a taut, morally charged novella exploring loyalty, betrayal, and the human stakes of war. Inspired by a real Chechen resistance fighter, Tolstoy portrays Hadji Murat as a courageous yet conflicted warrior navigating the brutal tensions between the Russian Empire and the peoples of the Caucasus.

Torn between two powers that both distrust him, Murat becomes a vivid symbol of honour, survival, and the tragic cost of political conflict. Rendered brilliantly in the acclaimed Pevear and Volokhonsky translation, this novella remains a strikingly relevant reflection on identity, oppression, and the price of resistance.
