Cossacks. Tolstoy L.N.

The works included in this collection, written by L.N. Tolstoy in different years can be attributed conditionally to two topics - “War” and “World”.

“Military” theme is represented by works of the time of “conquering the Caucasus” - the remarkable in terms of psychologism by the story “Cossacks” and dramatic, full of internal tension with the stories “RAM”, “How Russian Soldiers Dyle” and “Disordered”.

“The peaceful” theme is the masterpieces of Russian realistic prose - “Three Deaths”, “Small” and “The Morning of the Landowner” , simple in the plot terms and marked with purely “Tolstoy” subtlety and depth of understanding of human nature.
