Hadji Murat
Autor Leo Tolstoy Traducere de Aylmer Maude, Louise Maudeen Limba Engleză Paperback
Inspired by a historical figure Tolstoy heard about while serving in the Caucasus, this story brings to life the famed warrior Hadji Murat, a Chechen rebel who has fought fiercely and courageously against the Russian empire. After a feud with his commander he defects to the Russians, only to find that he is now trusted by neither side. He is first welcomed but then imprisoned by the Russians under suspicion of being a spy, and when he hears news of his wife and son held captive by the Chechens, Murat risks all to try to save his family. In the award-winning Pevear and Volokhonsky translation, Hadji Murat is a thrilling and provocative portrait of a tragic figure that has lost none of its relevance.

Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Hadji Murat, one of the most feared and venerated mountain chiefs in the Caucasian struggle against the Russians, defects from the Muslim rebels after feuding with his ruling imam, Shamil. Hoping to protect his family, he joins the Russians, who accept him but never put their trust in him - and so Murat must find another way to end the struggle.
Tolstoy knew as he was writing this, his last work of fiction, that it would not be published in his lifetime, and so gave an uncompromising portrayal of the Russians' faults and the nature of the rebels' struggle. In the process, he shows a mastery of style and an understanding of Chechnya that still carries great resonance today.

Recenzii
Based on historical events, Tolstoy’s beloved final novella tells the story of the rebel leader Hadji Murat—whom Tolstoy described as “the leading daredevil of the Caucasus”—and of the precarious alliance he forged with his enemies during his final days. Set during the Russian conquest of the Caucasus in the 1850s and expressing empathy for the resistance of the native peoples of Dagestan and Chechnya, Hadji Murat raises significant questions of power, imperialism, and betrayal, and remains moving and relevant today. This richly annotated edition features a selection of illuminating background materials that help situate the novella in its historical and literary context.
“Colonial war and resistance. The murky politics of enemies, allies, and go-betweens. Questions of loyalty and faith. As the struggle intensifies, who will you side with—the inevitable, awful victor or the inspired but doomed rebel? Will you fight for an idea or for your home, for the emperor or your family? Kirsten Lodge’s fresh translation deftly captures the raw power of Tolstoy’s simple but profound story. The related texts and helpful notes make this a perfect edition for the classroom.” — Willard Sunderland, University of Cincinnati
“Kirsten Lodge’s new translation of Hadji Murat renders Tolstoy’s lucid prose in all its subtlety. Carefully echoing the sentences’ rhythms and attending to the wonderful precision of nouns used to evoke the material world, Lodge conveys the deceptive simplicity of the original text. In her translation, as in Tolstoy’s original, this simplicity is the source of Hadji Murat’s persuasive power.” — Anne Lounsbery, New York University
“… [T]his is an excellent translation and collection of relevant materials. … I will assign Professor Lodge’s edition in the future. … Lodge keeps the English closer to the Russian and also has a good twenty-first-century North American ear.” — Robert Blaisdell, Kingsborough Community College, CUNY
“Hadji Murat … is a crucial artistic depiction of the workings of imperialism, militarism, and violence as the Russian Empire strove to conquer the Caucasus—written by Leo Tolstoy, a master stylist who had come to question his own complicity in these systems. This new translation by Kirsten Lodge is richly footnoted and features an informative introduction as well as several other relevant stories by Tolstoy. The book will work well for teaching and will reward all kinds of curious readers.” — Sibelan Forrester, Swarthmore College

Richard Pevear has published translations of Alain, Yves Bonnefoy, Alberto Savinio, Pavel Florensky, and Henri Volohonsky, as well as two books of poetry. He has received fellowships or grants for translation from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Ingram Merrill Foundation, the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the French Ministry of Culture. Larissa Volokhonsky was born in Leningrad. She has translated works by the prominent Orthodox theologians Alexander Schmemann and John Meyendorff into Russian.
Together, Pevear and Volokhonsky have translated Dead Souls and The Collected Tales by Nikolai Gogol, The Complete Short Novels of Chekhov, and The Brothers Karamazov, Crime and Punishment, Notes from Underground, Demons, The Idiot, and The Adolescent by Fyodor Dostoevsky. They were twice awarded the PEN Book-of-the-Month Club Translation Prize (for their version of Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov and for Tolstoy's Anna Karenina), and their translation of Dostoevsky's Demons was one of three nominees for the same prize. They are married and live in France.
