Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Virgin Soil, Vol. 2: Translated From the Russian
The sky was overcast with low clouds, and although it was not perfectly dark, and in front the cart-ruts could be distinguished stand ing out on the road, to right and left, every thing was in shadow, and the outlines of separate objects fell together into big con fused patches Of darkness. It was a dim, treacherous night; the wind blew in gusty, damp squalls, bringing with it the scent of rain and of broad fields of wheat. When they had passed the oak bushes which served as a landmark, and had to turn ofi into the by-road, driving was still more difficult; the narrow track was quite lost at times. The coachman drove more slowly.
