What if standing for honor meant betraying your people-and yourself? Hadji Murat is a gripping novella of heroism and moral conflict from Leo Tolstoy's final literary period. Based on the true story of a legendary Avar warrior, the novel follows Hadji Murat as he defects from Imam Shamil's mountain resistance and seeks refuge with the Russian Empire-his enemies. Though welcomed by the Russians, Murat remains under suspicion, caught between his desire to rescue his captured family and his refusal to fully submit. In a world ruled by ambition, duplicity, and brute power, his every move is shadowed by danger. Tolstoy paints a stark picture of imperial arrogance, the cruelty of war, and the nobility of a man who refuses to break. This modern translation revitalizes Tolstoy's final masterpiece with vivid language and clear narrative flow, offering a powerful reading experience for today's audience.
