Description
"Genre studies of provincial Russian society. Shows wonderful analysis of character, wide observation and half-veiled sympathy."
—Literary World, Nov. 1895

"Reading over lately several of Turgenev's novels and tales, I was struck afresh with their combination of beauty and reality. One must never forget that he was both an observer and a poet. The poetic element was constant, and it had great strangeness and power. His novels give one the impression of life itself, and not of an arrangement, a réchauffé of life."
