Hoping to protect his family, he joins the Russians, who accept him but never put their trust in him – and so Murat must find another way to end the struggle.Tolstoy knew as he was writing this, his last work of fiction, that it would not be published in his lifetime, and so gave an uncompromising portrayal of the Russians’ faults and the nature of the rebels’ struggle. In the process, he shows a mastery of style and an understanding of Chechnya that still carries great resonance today.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: FictionTopic: Classic FictionRelease Year: 2015 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
