A Brilliant Short Novel Inspired By Leo Tolstoys Experience As A Soldier In The Caucasus, The Cossacks Has All The Energy And Poetry Of Youth While Also Foreshadowing The Great Themes Of Tolstoys Later Years. His Nave Hero, Olenin, Is A Young Nobleman Who Is Disenchanted With His Privileged And Superficial Existence In Moscow And Hopes To Find A Simpler Life In A Cossack Village. As Olenin Foolishly Involves Himself In Their Violent Clashes With Neighboring Chechen Tribesmen And Falls In Love With A Local Girl, Tolstoy Gives Us A Wider View Than Olenin Himself Ever Possesses Of The Brutal Realities Of The Cossack Way Of Life And The Wild, Untamed Beauty Of The Rugged Landscape.This Novel Of Love, Adventure, And Male Rivalry On The Russian Frontiercompleted In 1862, When The Author Was In His Early Thirtieshas Always Surprised Readers Who Know Tolstoy Best Through The Vast, Panoramic Fictions Of His Middle Years. Unlike Those Works, The Cossacks Is Lean And Supple, Economical In Design And Execution. But Tolstoy Could Never Touch A Subject Without Imbuing It With His Magnificent Manysidedness, And So This Book Bears Witness To His Brilliant Historical Imagination, His Passionately Alive Spiritual Awareness, And His Instinctive Feeling For Every Level Of Human And Natural Life.Translated By Louise And Aylmer Maude
