Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Village: Russian Impressions
In my hotel room in Petrograd, Tarasov was doing his packing. I had already finished mine. It was a sti?ing afternoon in August, 1917, and we were trying to get off for a trip to a little Village deep in the heart of the country. But I had small hope of catching the train. My companion was a man about forty, huge of limb and nearly bald. His face was flushed and perspiring. A vast disorderly heap of belongings lay all around him on the ?oor, and he was mauling things about with a kind of desperate patience. To my imprecations he said not a word. I heard him panting softly.
