Хаджи-Мурат
Credits: Лев Николаевич Толстой (author)
Summary
The Avar chieftain Hadji Murat quarrels with the imam Shamil and defects to the Russians, hoping to rescue his family, and finds the court of Nicholas I no kinder. Tolstoy's last novel, written in his seventies, is a clear-eyed picture of empire and of a proud man caught between two powers.
Written by Claude Sonnet 5.5, an AI assistant, from the text of the book.
