Although the 1934 [TEXT NOT REPRODUCIBLE IN ASCII] goes so far as to assert, somewhat cryptically, that Tolstoy's "Prisoner of the Caucasus" shows traces of his reading Xavier de
Maistre's "Les Prisonniers du Caucase" and that these traces may be seen in the nearly homonymic story by Tolstoy, it is not possible to prove a direct influence of de
