A review by katerina273
King Lear of the Steppes by Ivan Turgenev

anti-semitism was unneeded and bad, I suppose this was 1870. this story was wild, they made Cordelia/Regan into a cult leader. I guess it was King Lear transposed onto Russia, which was always going to lead to some crazy stuff. Lots to unpack. where was the Steppe??? My version was translated so weird why did it keep repeating the word 'literally'.
