What Members Thought
Another sample of classic Russian novelists mastery: this has it all in perfect proportions. Just right description, just right dialogue, just right flashback, perfect all rounded characters. It has only one minor draw-back from my opinion: the premise of the story is not so powerful as I was expecting. It is just an common premise that it is highly lifted by the perfect literary technique of Turgenev.
