Description: "Inspired by a historical figure Tolstoy heard about while serving in the Caucasus, this story brings to life the famed warrior Hadji Murat, a Chechen rebel who has fought fiercely and courageously against the Russian empire. After a feud with his commander he defects to the Russians, only to find that he is now trusted by neither side. He is first welcomed but then imprisoned by the Russians under suspicion of being a spy, and when he hears news of his wife and son held captive by the Chechens, Murat risks all to try to save his family"--Back cover.

"Excellent. . . . The duo has managed to convey the rather simple elegance of Tolstoy's prose." --The New Criterion

"Pevear and Volokhonsky's new version is . . . flexible individuated, immediate." --The Nation
