Leo Tolstoy
Hadji Murat
Hadji Murat
A story about a real life character that Tolstoy wrote at the end of his days. All about the Russian control of Chechnya so not much has changed politically in a few hundred years. It's part adventure and part political statement especially scathing of the Tsar. And with a lot of character analysis thrown into the mix of course. An excellent read and a reasonable length with limited number of characters and not a great deal of using different names for the same person so you don't find yourself confused as in War and Peace (at least I did, twice).
