In his last great novel, Resurrection (1899), Tolstoy combines literary artistry with profound moral and philosophical reflections, making it a key work of his late oeuvre.
The Cossacks (1863) is a key work in Tolstoy's early work, a bridge between his autobiographical works and his later epics. Inspired by Tolstoy's own experiences in the Caucasus, the work lays the foundation for his critique of civilization.
The story is set during the Franco-Prussian War (1870–1871), and begins with the escape of French citizens from Rouen, under Prussian occupation. Among them is Elizabeth Rousset, "Dunda", a girl of easy morals but a kind heart.
