Hadji Murat: New Translation

Tolstoy knew as he was writing Hadji Murat, his last work of fiction, that it would not be published in his lifetime, and so gave an uncompromising portrayal of the Russians' faults and the nature of the rebels' struggle.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.

Tolstoi stia in timp ce scria Hadji Murat, ultima sa opera de fictiune, ca nu va fi publicata in timpul vietii sale, si astfel a prezentat o portretizare fara compromis a greselilor rusilor si a naturii luptei rebelilor. In acest proces, el arata o maiestrie a stilului si o intelegere a Ceceniei, care inca poarta o rezonanta mare si astazi.
