First published in 1914 after Leo Tolstoys death, Hadji Murad was the authors last novel. Drawing upon his own experiences fighting for the Russian army, historical archives, and the true story of the reallife Hadji Murad, the story is a narrative based on actual events that occurred during the Russian war with the Chechens during the 1850s. Hadji Murad focuses on the life and struggles of its central character, a Chechen soldier who breaks ranks and flees to the side of the Russians in the hope that the Russians will help him free his family from the control of the Muslim religious leader Imam Shamil. Murad does not find the help he seeks though and is not trusted by many of the Russian military commanders, who view him as a potential spy. Frustrated by the lack of progress towards his goal, Murad eventually returns to try and rescue his imprisoned family himself with tragic consequences. Hadji Murad is the final masterpiece by a gifted writer which brilliantly examines the brutality and senselessness of war and contrasts it with the beauty of the human spirit and the importance of resistance in the face of injustice. This edition is printed on premium acidfree paper and follows the translation of Aylmer Maude.
