Publisher Description
Hadji Murad (or alternatively Hadji Murat, although the first spelling best captures the phoneme of the original language title in Russian: [Khadzhi-Murat]) was a short novel written by Leo Tolstoy from 1896-1904 and published after his death in the year 1912. It is Tolstoy’s final work. The subject matter is one Hadji Murat, an Avar rebel commander who, for reasons of personal revenge, forges an uneasy alliance with the Russians he had been fighting.

Tolstoy deserves better than this poorly edited translation
Belch! By the fifth chapter I found myself slogging through a wilderness of typos, miscapitalizations and generally distracting sloppiness, all of which a good copy editor would have caught. Look elsewhere for an ebook version of this underappreciated classic.
