Sevastopol
AND OTHER MILITARY TALES
By LEO TOLSTOY
A new translation by Louise and Aylmer Maude, specially approved by the author. This book relates the author's own experiences, sensations, and reflections during the most noted siege of modern history. The translation has been authorized by Count Tolstoy, who has specially commended it for its accuracy, simplicity, and directness.
"No other modern book approaches 'Sevastopol' in the completeness and directness with which it unveils the realities of war. There are picturesque glimpses in Mr. Kipling's vulgar stories of fighting. But the strongest meat Mr. Kipling can provide is milk for babes beside Count Tolstoy's seemingly casual sketches, which yet comprehend with merciless amplitude the whole atmosphere of war."—The Morning Leader, London.
