Book Description

June 2004
On such days all the colours are softened, bright but not glaring; everything is suffused with a kind of touching tenderness. On such days the heat is sometimes very great; often it is even 'steaming' on the slopes of the fields, but a wind dispels this growing sultriness, and whirling eddies of dust--sure sign of settled, fine weather--move along the roads and across the fields in high white columns. In the pure dry air there is a scent of wormwood, rye in blossom, and buckwheat; even an hour before nightfall there is no moisture in the air. It is for such weather that the farmer longs, for harvesting his wheat.

Editorial Reviews

About the Author

Turgenev is famous for his revolutionary doctrines which widely spread in Russia in the 19th century. His works are full of vivid descriptions of Russian life and some of them present slight psychological analysis and self-evaluation. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
