About the author

Leo Tolstoy

7,981 books28.6k followers
Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy (Russian: Лев Николаевич Толстой; most appropriately used Liev Tolstoy; commonly Leo Tolstoy in Anglophone countries) was a Russian writer who primarily wrote novels and short stories. Later in life, he also wrote plays and essays. His two most famous works, the novels War and Peace and Anna Karenina, are acknowledged as two of the greatest novels of all time and a pinnacle of realist fiction. Many consider Tolstoy to have been one of the world's greatest novelists. Tolstoy is equally known for his complicated and paradoxical persona and for his extreme moralistic and ascetic views, which he adopted after a moral crisis and spiritual awakening in the 1870s, after which he also became noted as a moral thinker and social reformer.

His literal interpretation of the ethical teachings of Jesus, centering on the Sermon on the Mount, caused him in later life to become a fervent Christian anarchist and anarcho-pacifist. His ideas on nonviolent resistance, expressed in such works as The Kingdom of God Is Within You, were to have a profound impact on such pivotal twentieth-century figures as Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr.

Qué Akal haya recuperado unos relatos que tanto han transcendido en la Historia Universal en la Literatura Europa y haya marcado hitos en la cine ruso como Prisionero del Cáucaso en 1996,en pleno final de la Primera Guerra Chechena, es sin duda lecturas de reflexión, para todas las generaciones.

Tolstoy se convierte en un 'Reportero de Guerra', sus personajes, vivencias y experiencias narradas a través de enlazar cartas con algunos generales que vivieron la figura de Hadzi Murad y a demás la experiencia propia del autor, siendo alférez en la Guerra de Crimea, y luego enviado al Cáucaso, explican de buena forma, la mentalidad contradictoria del ser humano bajo la guerra, la vivencia en un ambiente multiétnico y el polvorín de las negociaciones entre montañeses y rusos.

Me quedo con la metáfora de Tolstoy sobre el cardo en medio del campo.

Segando, hay veces que siempre salen cardos espinosos bajo la mejor cosecha, así es la Guerra en mi opinión.

Una compilación excelente de historias. Relatis de Sebastopol es muy interesante desde la perspectiva de los sitiados, el como era el día a día para los rusos te hace empatizar de cierta forma. Por otro lado, los relatos del Cáucaso son historias muy inmersivas e interesantes.
