A hideously staring figure approaches...
...a man in a chair, recoiling from it.
In 1914 The Strand published the first English translation of 'The Apparition' by Ivan #Turgenev, accompanied by a dramatic double-page illustration by Ernest Wallcousins. (I've had to scan it in two parts otherwise I'd have damaged the volume's spine)

How serendipitous! Merely a few moments after I asked my gardener to get some cornflowers for the garden I came across this page as I went back to my Turgenev.

“Diario di un uomo superfluo” di I. #Turgenev è un esperimento molto interessante.

Dopo "Memorie di un cacciatore" mi sto confrontando con "Padri e Figli" di I. #Turgenev. Scrive molto bene e in questo romanzo compare per la prima volta il termine #nichilismo successivamente tematizzato da #Nietzsche. Turgenev è un autore intelligente,particolare nella narrazione e attuale.
