Description

Ivan Shmelyov’s novella “Godomolye” is a warm, light-filled recollection of how little Vanya, together with the old carpenter Gorkin and other pilgrims, sets out from Moscow for the Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius. The journey to the venerable Sergius becomes a whole universe, where, through a child’s eyes, the breadth of the Russian soul is revealed—along with the beauty of nature, age-old customs, and living folk faith.
