false 17698 31 This 1862 novel, in a vibrant new translation by Peter Constantine, is Tolstoy’s semiautobiographical story of young Olenin, a wealthy, disaffected Muscovite who joins the Russian army and travels to the untamed frontier of the Caucasus in search of a more authentic life. While striving to adopt the rough and ready lifestyle of the local Cossacks, Olenin falls in love with a free-spirited girl whose fiancé turns out to be a formidable opponent. Showcasing the philosophical insight that would characterize Tolstoy’s later masterpieces, this long overdue translation is a revelation. 2695082 book 1863 The Cossacks (Modern Library Classics) total:397|5:89|4:152|3:133|2:16|1:7| 397 1491 592 31 4 0 false false Thu Nov 19 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 20 16:37:33 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 20 16:37:54 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sat Jul 11 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed May 20 02:52:28 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 14 14:25:35 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 1 false false Mon Apr 21 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Apr 28 13:43:15 -0700 2008 Mon Apr 28 13:43:46 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Jan 20 23:22:36 -0800 2008 Tue May 13 14:35:31 -0700 2008
