4.5

I love classics so much lately, the prose is so beautifully crafted, the plot is interesting. I, too, would go for a silly walk to clear my mind, declare i’m in love a day and a half after meeting someone and fall on my bed dramatically at the first sign of misfortune. 

Oh, gentle feelings, soft sounds, the goodness and the gradual stilling of a soul that has been moved; the melting happiness of the first tender, touching joys of love-where are you? Where are you?

and the following is so wasteland baby coded

I cannot even begin to convey the feelings with which I left her. I never wish to experience them again, but I should count it a misfortune never to have had them at all.

Desgarrador, estos rusos son bien dramáticos y oscuros y aun asi tiene unos personajes muy entrañables.
