A Desperate Character Etc Translated from the Russian (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Desperate Character Etc Translated From the Russian Pyetasnéov is the work of a young man of twenty-nine, and its lively, unstrained realism is so bold, intimate, and delicate as to contra dict the flattering compliment that the French have paid to one another-that Turgenev had need to dress his art by the aid of French mirrors.
