About this book
The Great Masters of Russian Literature in the Nineteenth Century by Ernest Dupuy treats the prose writers Nikolaï Vasilyévitch Gogol, Ivan Sergéyevitch Turgenief and Count Lyof Nikolayevitch Tolstoï. The appendix says M. Dupuy does not pretend to give any thing more than a hasty résumé of biographical facts. A recollection of lectures says that Gogol took his chair, and suddenly, without any warning, began to read the history of the Arabians.
A recollection says that after the lecture Pushkin said something to Gogol, but the only word heard was ‘fascinating’. A quoted memory says that in springtime were heard the songs of nightingales, the whistling of blackbirds, and the cuckoos’ call. A quoted passage says that every time since their separation that she had felt an access of love for the absent son, Anna looked upon him as still a child of four, the age when he had been most charming.
