Hard cover book. Sebastopol Author: Leo Tolstoy Editor/Translator: Ivan Lepinski Publisher: Collins Clear-Type Press Date: Circa 1932 Further Information: Mauve Cloth hardcover & brown spine with lettering and patterning to spine in gilt. The spine has a Library label with an inscription.fiction"Sebastopol" is the English title given to Tolstoy's Sevastopol Sketches, which consist of three connected short stories: "Sevastopol in December," "Sevastopol in May," and "Sevastopol in August." These stories record Tolstoy's own experiences during the 1854–55 siege of Sevastopol in Crimea, published in 1855. Tolstoy served as an artillery officer at the siege, and the sketches move from a second-person guided "tour" of the besieged city through an increasingly unsentimental, often brutal picture of battle. The second sketch examines the senselessness and vanity of war, and Tolstoy famously closes by declaring truth itself the only hero of the account.book, sebastopol, tolstoy, shipwrecked-coast, flagstaff-hill, flagstaff-hill-maritime-museum, warrnambool, maritime-museum, shipwreck-coast, flagstaff-hill-maritime-village, shipwrecked-artefact, pattison collection, warrnambool library, warrnambool mechanics’ institute, ralph eric pattison, corangamite regional library service, warrnambool city librarian, mechanics’ institute library, victorian library board, warrnambool books and records, warrnambool children’s library, great ocean road
