"It was 6-7 years ago, when I lived in one of the districts of the T-th province, on the estate of the landowner Belokurov, a young man who got up very early, wore a jerkin, drank beer in the evenings and always complained to me that he did not meet with sympathy anywhere or from anyone. He lived in the garden in an outbuilding, and I lived in the old manor house, in a huge hall with columns, where there was no furniture except a wide sofa on which I slept, and a table on which I played solitaire. Here, even in calm weather, something always hummed in the old Amosov stoves, and during a thunderstorm the whole house trembled and seemed to crack into pieces, and it was a little scary, especially at night, when all ten large windows were suddenly lit up by lightning." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Genre/Subgenre: Audiobooks/Russian classics Age restrictions: 12+ Features: Read by: Denis Nekrasov Total running time: 47 min.
