Publisher's Synopsis
The Inn: Large Print By Ivan Turgenev Turgenev wrote The Inn in the autumn of 1852, when he was under a form of house arrest for the publication of the stories known as A Sportsman's Sketches. Frankly based on events that all "literally took place twenty-five versts from here," the story takes as its theme a motif that Turgenev came back to again and again in his later work: the helplessness of age before the successful ruthlessness of youth. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.
