Not his best work by a long shot but there are many positive aspects in this work that are a delight to Tolstoy fans

"The people here exist as nature does. They die, they are born, they copulate, again they are born, they fight, eat, drink, rejoice, and again die, without any terms except for the unchanging terms that nature imposes on sun, grass, beast, and tree. They have no other laws."
The Cossacks is beautifully written and appropriately short.
