I'm not going to critique Tolstoy or the Russian language translators, but boy, this edition by ebooks Adelaide could sure use an editor. I would certainly recommend a different edition.

harus belajar cara baca-apresiasi klasik nih. selow, muter-muter, banyak karakter tetiba muncul-numpang lewat. penasaran tentang ending hadji murat-nya. terjawab, tentu saja, di bab akhir.
cukup banyak typo, terutama kata "dan" yang kayaknya harusnya dari, DAN ITU BUANYAKKK.
terganggu sama footnote yang ditaruh di bagian belakang buku, lebih suka langsung di bawah halaman.

"Hadji Murat selalu percaya pada peruntungan baiknya sendiri. Kapan pun dia melakukan sesuatu, dia sangat yakin akan berhasil---dan dia telah berhasil dalam segalanya."
--pg.42

peribahasa: anjing memberi daging kepada keledai dan keledai memberi jerami kepada anjing--keduanya jadi kelaparan.
"Semua orang menyukai adatnya sendiri."
--pg.184

Hadji Murat chronicles the life of the eponymous hero who came to personify the resistance of the Caucasus to Russian imperialism. The work was published posthumously and reflects an anger and disillusionment with Czarism that perhaps explains why Tolstoy chose not to make the manuscript public.

Good read in general.
