    "The Cossacks live not by the dictates of the world but by a code woven from their own history and way of life."
    
    Published in 1883 and set in the Caucasus, The Cossacks follows the journey of Dmitry Andreich Olenin, a young nobleman who, disillusioned with his privileged life and a failed love affair, leaves Moscow on a quest to find meaning and serenity among the people of the Caucasus. He embarks on a journey southward and eventually joins a regiment stationed in mountainous Cossack country, where he takes part in the daily life of a Cossack village and encounters cultural tensions between the Russian troops and the local Cossacks, who have a complex relationship marked by historical enmity.
    
    The novel explores themes of love, identity, and the stark contrasts between different ways of life, inviting the audience to reflect on the complexities of human relationships and cultural understanding.
    Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910) was a Russian novelist, philosopher, and social reformer, widely regarded as one of the greatest writers of all time. He is best known for his epic novels War and Peace and Anna Karenina, both celebrated for their intricate character development and profound exploration of moral dilemmas and human nature. In his later years, Tolstoy experienced a spiritual awakening which led him to reject materialism and embrace a life of simplicity, seeking to align his life with his beliefs about non-violence and compassion. Tolstoy's legacy endures not only through his literary masterpieces but also through his profound impact on literature and philosophy.
