Sevastopol

Leo Tolstoy

Three short stories about the everyday life of besieged Sevastopol a century and a half ago. There are no main characters as such, or rather, each participant, whether an officer or a soldier, at one point or another is in the sight of the authors attention. It is felt that the essays were written by a participant in the events, an eyewitness. In the first part of the work, the writer introduces us to the military situation of that time, the faces of the military through a description of the life of the soldiers, some episodes in my imagination merge into one face of a Russian soldier, who may have to die here.

Bower was a much loved American author who wrote novels, fictional short stories, and screenplays about the American Old West. A great addition to any collection.
