Lineages
Every great book stands on older ones. Homer gave Virgil his wanderings and his war; Virgil walked Dante through Hell. Start from a classic and follow its line, one work at a time, across the map.
What it draws on
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.
Source: Wikipedia, Hadji Murat (novella)
“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
