Paperback. Condition: Good. Tolstoy's novella blends fiction and historical fact to portray a legendary Avar chieftain who switched sides in the nineteenth-century Russo-Caucasian war.

Tolstoy's realistic pictures of life in a war zone raise enduringly relevant issues of life and death.…

Building on recent transformative theories of influence, John Foster explores the many ways Nietzsche's intellectual and artistic example helped shape an interconnected series of major literary projects from 1900 to the 1940s.
