A proposito di questo titolo
 This captivating collection features three powerful novellas by one of Russias literary giants. The first, A LEAR OF THE STEPPES, reimagines Shakespeare’s iconic play King Lear, presenting a larger-than-life father whose life-altering decision leads to unexpected consequences. FAUST, beginning at Section 11, unfolds through a series of poignant letters where the author reflects on a chance encounter with a long-lost love, exploring the complexities of human relationships. Finally, Section 19 introduces ACIA, the concluding piece that earned Leo Tolstoy’s admiration as one of Turgenevs finest works. In this moving psychological portrait, Turgenev masterfully captures the intricacies of love and emotion between two individuals. (Lee Smalley)
