Victoria's review
First Love (Art of the Novella series, The)
by Ivan S. Turgenev
Victoria, the publishers - of one of my books - put out the galley proof , with over 50 of their errors, instead of the corrected version where i had corrected all of their mistakes.

Victoria's review
rating:
Such a tragic story--Turgenev's descriptions of a sixteen year old boy falling in love for the first time ("I moved as if in a dream and felt all through my being a sort of intense blissfulness that verged on imbecility"). And the aftermath, the disappointment. An amazing example of how to write emotions through physical details. He leaves nothing out. Also, for structure. How does he pack so much in a short novella?
This edition is a disappointment: there were editing errors, which is a pet peeve, as if someone haphazardly put the book together without looking it over. They should give the writing the attention and care that it deserves. The quotation marks were off--clearly the fault of the press. Blah!
