The Summer of the Lord

Ivan Sergeyevich Shmelev (1873-1950) – a Russian writer, twice nominated for the Nobel Prize.
The novel "The Summer of the Lord" is a bright recollection of childhood and the parental home, of the everyday life of an Orthodox merchant family, filled with holidays, joys, and sorrows. A soulful and sincere text about pre-revolutionary Russia, where ancient customs and individuality were preserved.
