>Hadji Murat is the greatest story of all time.
Why does this guy always have to be so contrarian. It wasn't even Tolstoy's best short story/novella. That would be Father Sergius.

FS though beautiful wd be an even more contrarian selection as relatively speaking very little actually happens. Since all the shorts are extremely good it's probably best to leave this a matter of taste. I'd choose one of the longer shorter works, Cossacks or Family Happiness. Of the smaller Master and Man.
