A review by frauleinherr
On the Eve by Ivan Turgenev

“Death is like a fisherman, who, having caught a fish in his net, leaves it in the water for a time; the fish continues to swim about, but all the while the net is round it, and the fishermen will snatch it out in his own good time.”

One of my favorites from the Russians thus far. Though it has undoubtedly proven that my knowledge of the Crimean War is shaky at best. I definitely see a lot of research on the Ottoman Empire in my future as well.
