Description
The novel-trilogy “Summer of the Lord: Holidays. Joys. Sorrows” is the most significant work by Ivan Sergeyevich Shmelev (1873–1950), in which he recreated his Russia—passionately loved and, due to life circumstances, forever lost.
“Summer of the Lord” is a church calendar read through a child’s eyes. From the multitude of religious holidays, rites, and symbols, the author builds human life in motion of flesh and spirit. And this is no longer a fairy-tale child’s feeling, but ancestral memory—an awakening sense of national pride and belonging to Russian history and the sacred treasures of the people.
