Twilight of Love: Travels With Turgenev

This is a book about travel - about love - and about Turgenev. I knew next to nothing about Turgenev when I began reading it and, if you're reading this soley to learn about the great Russian author - don't! This is a book about falling in love - with people, with subjects and with landscapes. I am a college professor and too often I see students who are just not besotted with ANY subject. This book will show you the heights to which a spirit may climb once it has found its passion. A perfect summertime read - episodic, intelligent, entertaining and inspiring.
