The Cutting of the Forest
 | This article needs a plot summary. (June 2021) |
"The Cutting of the Forest" (Russian:"Рубка леса" ["Rubka lesa"]; sometimes translated as The Wood-Felling) is a short novella by Leo Tolstoy written and published in 1855,[1][2] early in Tolstoy's career.
It was in this story that Tolstoy distinguished between three different types of soldiers, "the submissive, the bossy, and the desperadoes."[3] According to Ralph Henry Elsworth, this work was written about the same time as The Cossacks (novel), published in 1863.[4]
