"The Cossacks" is a short novel by Leo Tolstoy, published in 1863. It is
believed to be somewhat autobiographical, drawing from Tolstoy's experiences
in the Caucasus during the Caucasian War. The story follows Dmitry Andreich
Olenin, a nobleman who joins the army to escape the superficiality of his
privileged life. In his quest for "completeness," Olenin befriends an old
Cossack and immerses himself in their culture. He falls in love with a young
woman named Maryanka, despite her engagement to another Cossack named
Lukashka. Throughout the novel, Olenin learns about his own inner life, moral
philosophy, and the complexities of human psychology. The plot revolves around
Olenin's struggle to reconcile his desires and ideals. "The Cossacks" is
considered Tolstoy's first masterpiece and has been adapted into films and
music.
