In the winter of 1854 Tolstoy, then an officer in the Russian army, arranged to be transferred to the besieged town of Sebastopol. Wishing to see at first hand the action of what would become known as the Crimean War, he was spurred on by a fierce patriotism, but also by an equally fierce desire to alert the authorities to appalling conditions in the army. Writing with the truth as his utmost aim, he brought home to Russia's entire literate public the atrocities of war. In doing so, he realized his own vocation as a writer and established his literary reputation.

This short novel, published after Tolstoy's death, is the last novel the great author wrote. It tells the true story of Hadji Murad (or Hadji Murat, alternatively), an Avar who commanded the peoples of Dagestan and Chechnya in their resistance against assimilation into the Russian empire. Tolstoy had first heard of Murad during his travels, and the author became inspired by Murad's refusal to give in to the demands of a corrupt world. Hadji Murad shares many of the same themes found in War and Peace.

After a feud with his commander, he defects to the Russians, only to find that he is now trusted by neither side.

Hailed as one of the world's supreme masterpieces on the subject of death and dying, The Death of Ivan Ilyich is the story of a worldly careerist, a high court judge who has never given the inevitability of his death so much as a passing thought.

How, Tolstoy asks, does an unreflective man confront his one and only moment of truth? Please note: This audiobook is in Russian.

Muziek speelt in vrijwel ons hele leven een grote rol: van wiegeliedjes in de babykamer, het draaiorgel op straat, tot muziek op de Ipod en in de kerk. We kunnen niet zonder. Muziek definieert ons als mensen, geeft ons mede een identiteit. Meer dan welke andere vorm van kunst kan muziek ons ook fysiek raken, met de directheid en de kracht van een zuivere klank. Tegelijk is muziek abstracter dan menig andere uiting van de mens. Aan de hand van filosofische gedachten over muziek, vraagt Leo Samama zich af welke rol muziek speelt in het leven van de mens, toen en nu.
