What if the real story of war lies not in glory—but in the hearts of those who endure it?

Sevastopol Sketches offers an unfiltered look into the Crimean War through the eyes of a young officer who would become one of the world's greatest authors—Leo Tolstoy.

In this gripping trilogy of war vignettes—Sevastopol in December, Sevastopol in May, and Sevastopol in August—Tolstoy reveals the raw and often tragic reality of conflict.

From the trenches and hospitals to the fleeting moments of human compassion, this audiobook delivers a profound meditation on war's cost, captured with rare honesty and literary brilliance.

What you'll discover inside:

● A Realistic Portrait of Warfare – The brutal, everyday truth of combat without romanticism.

● Three Powerful Sketches – Each offering a unique window into different phases of the siege.

● Reflections on Courage and Humanity – A deep exploration of morality in the face of death.

● Tolstoy's Early Masterpiece – The foundation of his literary voice and philosophical depth.

Start listening today and experience the war that shaped one of literature's greatest minds—and see the battlefield through the eyes of conscience.
