Description:Excerpt from A Lear of the Steppes: And Other StoriesThis sense of inevitability and of the mystery of life which Turgenev gives us in A Lear of t/ze Steppes is the highest demand we can make from art. Add, the last story in the present volume, though it gives us a sense of mystery, is not inevitable: the end is faked to suit the artist's purpose, and thus, as in other ways, it is far inferior to Lear. Faust, the second story, has consummate charm in its strange atmosphere of the supernatural ming ling with things earthly, but it is not, as is Lear, life seen from the surface to the revealed depths it is a revelation of the strange forces in life, presented beautifully; but it is rather an idea, a problem to be worked out by certain characters, than a piece of life inevitable and growing. When an artist creates in us the sense of inevitability, then his work is at its highest, and is obeying nature's law of growth, unfolding from out itself as inevitably as a tree or a ﬂower or a human being unfolds from out itself. Turgenev at his highest never quits nature, yet he always uses the surface, and what is apparent, to disclose her most secret prin ciples, her deepest potentialities, her inmost.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
