Sevastopol stories. Tolstoy L.N.

Annotation to the book “Sevastopol Stories” Crimean war changed the fate of Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy (1828–1910). He went to the war as an ensign, and returned to the author of the famous military stories. Tolstoy participated in the defense of Sevastopol, commanded the artillery battery on the legendary fourth bastion, became a second lieutenant, for courage and courage he was awarded the Order of St. Anna of the 4th degree and medals. In hot pursuit, he kept a diary and wrote notes about army life and battles, which formed the basis of "Sevastopol Stories."

These three small stories are not only a great artistic work, but also a true historical document, the main thing in which is love for the motherland, patriotism, pride in the Russian soldier and hatred of the horrors of war.
