Description
The story “At the Edge of the World” tells of the trip of a newly appointed bishop to a “remote Siberian diocese,” where a Russian missionary meets the difficult life of non-Christians who have accepted baptism. After a pagan native saved the bishop from death in the winter wilds, the bishop becomes convinced of what truly Christian feats unbaptized “savages” are capable of— guided only by their own conscience, the voice of God in any human soul. The main character of the work is the Bishop of Irkutsk—later Archbishop Nil of Yaroslavl— and the story was written based on his recollections. Its distinctive charm is enhanced by Leskov’s unique language.
