Jadzhii Murat

by Leo Tolstoy

Overview

Una de las mejores novelas de todos los tiempos, un texto clásico sobre el expansionismo ruso en una magnífica edición ilustrada. Jadzhi Murat es una de las obras maestras de Tolstói. En ella nos muestra el conflicto entre la vida sencilla de los habitantes del Cáucaso, regida por la tradición y la costumbre, personificada en el atractivo protagonista que da nombre al título, y la vida moderna y civilizada representada por los rusos. Tolstói vivió la situación en primera persona, pues estuvo en esa zona durante su etapa en el Ejército, por lo que es el mejor guía para adentrarnos en los orígenes de una guerra que perdura hasta casi nuestros días en Chechenia.
