Hadzhi Murat Audiobook (Unabridged)

" dipinjemin vera :D "

" Tolstoy's last "novel" is an epic in under 200 pages. While initially I thought Tolstoy's previous moral absolutes were not present in Hadji Murat, I am currently doubting this idea. There is definitely the same indictment of superficiality and interactions that take place for egocentric reasons. "

" More Tolstoy and a good example of how long and bitter Russia's fight with Chechnya is. One thing I found interesting: how the book shows that Russians have their own homegrown version of the noble savage. "

" anyone who prefers tolstoy to dostoevsky needs to get their head examined. an essential of russian literature of the caucasus, although if you're more than half way through your natural life span i wouldn't bother. "

" The beauty of the shape of Tolstoy stories breaks one's heart. When Avdeev the soldier dies, the reader crumbles. "

" Indispensable for understanding present-day Chechnya. "

" I love how real Tolstoy's characters feel. This was really short, just a 130 pages or so, but Tolstoy still crafted several compelling and believable characters. "

" Harold Bloom be lovin him some Hadji Murad ("It is my personal touchstone for the sublime of prose fiction") but I couldn't get into it. "

" I loved this book and want to read up more on the history of the Russian-Chechen conflict before writing more about it. "

" Short, but painful. Interesting stuff from an historical perspective, but a bit of a slog. "

" very non-interesting. it isn't a bad book but it isn't good either. I am planning to read other books by Tolstoj and hope they have something more to say than this book. "

" Lots of history but a good read. "

" Epic book...just love it "

" The one novel of Tolstoy's (that I've read) that would make a great film! "

" This was my first look at Tolstoy and I was surprised to find myself immensely enjoying this book. "

" Chechnya 1851. The Russians come off badly. Excellent portrayal of the crazy Tsar Nicholas I. Tolstoy should have spent more of his later life writing books like this, and less preaching his silly philosophy. "

" Not his best work, but interesting reflections on an interesting man. "

" great job "

" Hard to follow...lost energy. "

" Loved this book, still relevant. I kept this in my car in case I was stuck somewhere. This book holds a special spot in my heart. "

" Great book. Some say Tolstoy's best story. Written late in his life. Has a strong moral storyline. Seems like the Russians and Chechnians have been at it a long time. "
