The Steppe

Anton Chekhov
(4,74 Sterne; 25 Bewertungen)
Little Yegorushka goes off to school for the first time, setting out on the journey in the company of his Uncle Ivan, the local priest Father Christopher, and the fun-loving servant Deniska. Along the way they meet an extraordinarily colorful array of characters, named and nameless: the innkeeper Moisey Moisevitch, the beautiful Countess Dranitsky, the mysterious Varlamov, Emelyan the voiceless singer, Tit the steppe waif, and many more. But the most colorful and extraordinary character of all is the Steppe itself in every mood and weather, painted stroke-by-masterly-stroke by Chekhov in all its wild, musical, redolent, flowering, chirruping, infuriating exuberance.

I think only those raised surrounded by high plains or extensive grasslands see the beauty. Like in the story, there can be terror of being at once nothing and everything, especially in summer or on clear nights. Like us, it exists between heaven and earth, and this is one of the best descriptions of traversing it I've encountered. This saga is well read, thanks to all at Librivox.

Loved it. This book by Chekhov introduced me to the Stepp’s and presented them and what life was like at that time and people’s values. Extremely well done.
