Reader's note

The stories in this volume include The Cossacks, one of Tolstoy’s greatest short stories, and his famous Sevastopol Sketches, a vivid picture of war from the soldier’s point of view. They not only represent some of his best writing, but also enable us to trace the early development of his attitude to war from a first tentative questioning of its justifiability in The Raid to the conclusion he reached in later life that war is always utterly wrong. Much of the material in Tales of Army Life is autobiographical. Tolstoy joined the army in 1851, when he was twenty-three, serving first against the mountain tribes in the Caucasus, and then throughout the siege of Sevastopol during the Crimean War, the period at which he wrote his first works, including the stories here collected.
