Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of Iván Turgénieff: The Brigadier and Other Stories on the Eve Reader, dost thou know those small manors of the gentry in which our Russian Ukraïna abounded thirty years ago? Now they are rarely to be met with, and ten years hence the last of them will, probably, have vanished without a trace. A pond with a stream running through it, all overgrown with willow-bushes and reeds, the delight of scurrying ducks, which are now and then joined by a cautious "teal"; beyond the pond a garden with linden alleys, that beauty and honour of our Black Earth prairies, with beds weed-choked of "Spanish" strawberries, with dense thickets of gooseberry, currant, and raspberry bushes, amid which, in the languid hour of motionless midday heat, the gay-hued kerchief of a house-serf maiden will inevitably be gleaming, and her piercing voice will be ringing.
