Read by Aleksandr Balakirev. Duration: 4 hours, 55 min."Sevastopol Sketches" are three historical fiction stories written by Leo Tolstoy and published in 1855 to record his experiences during the Siege of Sevastopol (1854-1855), in a city in the Crimea. Tolstoy introduces the reader to life in Sevastopol one December by taking them on an introductory tour (the detailed tour is arguably similar to one Tolstoy may have been given upon arrival in Sevastopol in November 1854). In Sevastopol in May, Tolstoy examines the senselessness and vanity of war, its psychology and the misleading presence of humanism in truces (misleading because countries continuously go to war with one another, despite past truces). Tolstoy concludes by declaring that the only hero of his story is truth.
