The Captain's DaughterGreat book
Alexander Pushkin, AD 1836
Tolstoy's last novella recalls Pushkin's Captain's Daughter: a revolt on the edge of the empire, told through real people and events, with its rebel leader seen as a man rather than a monster.

“The work recalls Alexander Pushkin's historical novel The Captain's Daughter (1836) because its realism is also based on actual people and events, though the main character in Pushkin does not meet the same end.” Read it there
