Pramudith D. Rupasinghe
The life of Ivan Nikolaevich and well educated gentlemen living in a remote village in North Eastern Ukraine.
Read this quote from the book, you will understand how much of psychic energy stored in this man at his seventies, very inspiring.
‘To my silent companion,
Rest with me in Summer, the old papers!
Accompany me in autumn into wet fields,
through humid air; but do not breath it, its sickening.
Warm my soul in icy winter with your intoxicating words, and, let me submerge deep in thoughts in the ocean of philosophy,
inebriated wholly with sous-marine depictions,
then I will see the realities left secretively for centuries, mummified in the obscure seabed called life,
When nature rejuvenates back in Spring,
when symphonists start adding melodies to my Bayan,
I will give you a break, probably retirement’.
— Ivan Nikolaevich’.
