Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Virgin Soil, Vol. 1: Translated From the Russian
These suggestions are delicate and ?eeting like the quiet swirl of water round the sunken rocks in a stream. And so delicately is the Nihilist rising shadowed forth, that a foreign reader can enjoy the novel simply for its human, and not for its political, interest. Delicate, however, as is the technique of Virgin Soil there is a large, free carelessness in the spirit of its art which reminds one much of the few last plays of Shakespeare, notably of Cymbelme, where the action, so easy going is it, is.
