About this book
A handsome officer of the Cuirassier Life Guards in 1840s Petersburg, expected to become aide-de-camp to Nicholas I, leaves the service, breaks off his engagement to a maid of honour, gives his estate to his sister and enters a monastery. Tolstoy's story explains how Prince Stepan Kasatsky came to this, going back to his boyhood at the Military College, where he led his class in studies and drill but was prone to fits of fury, and to his devotion to the Emperor.
The text is divided into six numbered sections.
