Hadji Murad

In the lawless mountains of the Caucasus, where empires clash and vengeance is a way of life, the legendary Chechen warrior Hadji Murad escapes from his ruthless rival Imam Shamil and throws himself on the mercy of the Russian army. He dreams of rescuing his family from captivity, but he quickly becomes a pawn in a brutal political game—trusted by no one, hunted by all. As he navigates the treacherous courts of Tsar Nicholas I and the unforgiving mountain paths, Hadji Murad must decide how far he will go for honor, freedom, and love. This modern retelling brings Tolstoy’s masterpiece to vivid life, preserving every pulse-quickening scene of the original while removing the barrier of archaic language. A story of loyalty, betrayal, and the wild beauty of a land that refuses to be tamed. Part of Timeless Classics.
