Author: Robert Dessaix

Format: Hardback

Number of Pages: 336


Following in the footsteps of the Russian writer Ivan Turgenev through Germany, France and finally Russia, author Robert Dessaix talks to his readers not just about this superb novelist and his books, but about his own growing kinship with Turgenev over the years and his lifelong passion for Russia, where Dessaix spent some of his student years. At one level the book is an intimate journal of Robert Dessaix's travels to Baden-Baden, Paris, Moscow, St Petersburg and the estate Turgenev grew up on in the south of Russia. On another level, circling around Turgenev's main obsessions, it is about all the things that have turned Robert Dessaix's life into an unexpected adventure.
