Description:Excerpt from Hadji Murad The Caucasus indeed offered a rich variety of material on which Tolstoy drew at every stage of his literary career. It was there that, at the age of twenty - three, he first saw war as a volunteer; there he served for two years as a cadet; and there finally he became an officer, be fore leaving to serve in the Crimean war which in its turn gave him material for his sketches of Sevastopol. In his letters from the Caucasus he often complained of the dulness and emptiness of his life there; yet it certainly attracted him for a while, and was not devoid of stirring and curi ous incidents. The most extraordinary of these relates to a gambling debt he incurred and was unable to pav. Having given notes - of - hand, he was in despair when the date of payment approached without his having been able to procure the money needed, and he prayed earnestly to God to get me out of this disagreeable scrape.
