Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Novels and Stories of Ivan Turgenieff, Vol. 1: Virgin Oil
During the ten years which had elapsed since the publication of Smoke, the critics and the public in general had been rather cold toward Turgenieff. He wrote no great romance during that period, but the short stories which he sent with great regularity to the journals would have aroused enthusiasm had they been from any other pen. They included, among others, that gem.
