Reader's note

A First Edition of The Cossacks by Leo Tolstoy; a short novel published in 1863 in the popular literary magazine The Russian Messenger. The novel is believed to be somewhat autobiographical, with many believing that the character of Olenin, a wealthy Muscovite who joins the army in search of a more authentic life, was inspired by the author’s own wild ways when he was a young man. The events of the book are loosely based on Tolstoy’s experiences in the Caucasus during the Caucasian war.

“He speaks passionately, waving his arms. But it is clear that he is searching for words, and that the words which come to him seem inadequate to express what moves him.”
