A review by romanoirs
A Lear of the Steppes by Ivan Turgenev

4.0

A very Russian take on King Lear... whenever I finish any Russian novel/novella/short story I’m somehow always left staring out of a window contemplating what it means to be alive and what it means to be human. But who has time for existential dread when the world is so beautiful and green and bright. It’s those two conflicting feelings after reading Russian literature that make me come back every time.
