While striving to adopt the rough and ready lifestyle of the local Cossacks, Olenin falls in love with a free-spirited girl whose fiance turns out to be a formidable opponent. Showcasing the philosophical insight that would characterize Tolstoy's later masterpieces, this long overdue translation is a revelation.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49176471699675,"sku":"9780812975048-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/764fc903-d15f-490a-a876-1d0324bf6e8d.jpg?v=1787571779","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780812975048-secondhand-the-cossacks","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
