A new, beautifully laid-out, easy-to-read edition of Tolstoy's 1863 classic novel. Thought by many to be a partially autobiographical tale, this is the story of a young idealistic nobleman who seeks to find meaning by joining the army and immersing himself in the culture of the "simple" villagers of the Caucasus and becoming a "Cossack." This edition is based on Louise & Aylmer Maude's 1916 translation. Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) was a Russian writer widely regarded as one of the greatest writers of all time. The Cossacks is considered to be among his finest works, alongside his classics War & Peace and Anna Karenina. Louise Maude (1835-1939) and Aylmer Maude (1858-1938) were among the most prominent early English language translators of Tolstoy's works, receiving the personal endorsement of Tolstoy himself.
