In this brief work Tolstoy describes the loss of exemplarity by the Russian military aristocracy in the first half of the 19th century, making use of the life of two hussars, father and son. Count Turbin is a valiant hussar officer, a womanizer, gambler, lover of entertainment and of drinking. He lets his tastes drive him, but he is sensible and has a sense of humour, which avoids becoming a slave of his passions. In time his son will also become a hussar officer, but the father’s strong personality will always accompany him, determining his destiny and doings.
