A young man, Olenin, is stationed in the Caucasus, where he falls in love with the place, the people, and the simple way of life. Though he has fallen in love with the betrothed of a man he has befriended, he believes that he can be self-sacrificing, until a fellow Russian brings the complexity of Moscow-thinking back to Olenin.

Really cool love triangle that considers the way that cultures clash when feelings get involved.

On second read: moves slower than I remember, but still good story. ( )

This is just an empty book. I kept waiting for something to happen and, pretty much, it never did. The characters are as weak as in today's sci-fi (yes, that weak), by the end of the book there was no one of interest at all.

Read other Tolstoy. This early novel is, maybe, the author working out what his voice is. ( )
