The early stories in this collection- 'The Raid', The Woodfelling', 'The Prisoner of the Caucasus' - take us back to the action-packed years 1851-54 that Tolstoy spent with the Russian army in the wild and beautiful mountains of the Caucasus. With a young man's passion and a great writer's insight and irony, he was already exploring the profound moral questions of war, love, courage and our relationship with nature and civilization, that were to dominate his whole life and art.
