Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Sevastopol" by graf Leo Tolstoy is a collection of three short stories published in 1855. Based on Tolstoy's firsthand experiences during the Siege of Sevastopol in Crimea, these sketches offer an unflinching look at war's realities. Through intimate tours of battlefield hospitals, examinations of military psychology and vanity, and the intertwined fates of two brothers, Tolstoy captures both the human cost of conflict and the senselessness of war. These stories later formed the foundation for episodes in his masterwork, "War and Peace."
