About this audiobook

How does a warrior survive when caught between two deadly enemies?

In Hadji Murat, Leo Tolstoy presents a vivid and unforgettable account of the Caucasian War, drawing from historical events and his own military experience. The novel follows Hadji Murat, a revered Chechen leader who, after falling out with the ruthless Imam Shamil, seeks refuge with the Russian army. However, in the treacherous world of war and diplomacy, no side can be trusted, and Hadji Murat’s fate is sealed by the forces of power, deception, and honor.

A gripping story of courage and betrayal, Hadji Murat blends thrilling action with deep philosophical reflection. Tolstoy masterfully examines the futility of war, the complexity of human loyalty, and the inevitable tragedy of those who stand alone against vast empires.
