About this book
Creators: graf Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910), Aylmer Maude (1858-1938) [Translator], and Louise Maude (1855-1939) [Translator] "The Cossacks: A Tale of 1852" by graf Leo Tolstoy is a novel published in 1863. Disenchanted with privileged Russian society, nobleman Dmitry Olenin joins the army and travels to the Caucasus, seeking authenticity among the Cossack people. He befriends an old hunter, adopts local customs, and falls in love with Maryanka—a young woman already promised to another. As he immerses himself in this unfamiliar world, Olenin confronts profound questions about happiness, self-sacrifice, and the nature of belonging in a culture not his own.
