Virgin Soil
Virgin Soil
Ivan Turgenev
¥8.82
VIRGIN SOIL by Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev (1818-1883) is his last and longest novel. In it he finally says everything yet unsaid on the subject of social change, idealism and yet futility of revolutions, serfs and peasants, and the upper classes. The hero, Nezhdanov -- the disillusioned young son of a nobleman -- and the Populist movement are young idealists working to bridge the gap between the common people and the nobility, and through them Turgenev works out his own troubled thoughts about social reform and tradition, vitality and stagnation. The ideas of gradual reform shown here are eventually to be supplanted by the extremism of the Russian Revolution -- but that is yet to come.

All her life, Eveningstar of the Pure has honed her survival skills against the strand, a nanotech organism which infests most of the planet. And she has always shunned the Tainted, those who replace their body parts with tamed strand to enhance their bodies and minds. But then a gang of child soldiers kidnaps her brother, taking him to the distant Gridlands, past a gauntlet of shape-shifting monsters. In an eternal war between technology and nature—between those who oppose it and those who embrace it—Evie will need to break the law, put aside her distrust for the Tainted, and perhaps even take a few of their tricks for her own if she wants to save her brother.

"TOM!"?No answer.?"TOM!"?No answer.??"What's gone with that boy, I wonder? You TOM!"?No answer.??The old lady pulled her spectacles down and looked over them about the room; then she put them up and looked out under them. She seldom or never looked through them for so small a thing as a boy; they were her state pair, the pride of her heart, and were built for "style," not service—she could have seen through a pair of stove-lids just as well. She looked perplexed for a moment, and then said, not fiercely, but still loud enough for the furniture to hear:??"Well, I lay if I get hold of you I'll—"??She did not finish, for by this time she was bending down and punching under the bed with the broom, and so she needed breath to punctuate the punches with. She resurrected nothing but the cat.??"I never did see the beat of that boy!"?She went to the open door and stood in it and looked out among the tomato vines and "jimpson" weeds that constituted the garden. No Tom. So she lifted up her voice at an angle calculated for dis-tance and shouted:??"Y-o-u-u TOM!"

L’action se passe dans un pays que l’auteur nomme Austrasie par pure convenance, car sa capitale est Vienne, on y parle allemand et la famille impériale est décimée par des deuils, dont une double mort à Mayerling. C’est dire que l’on est en Autriche et que l’auteur donne sa version très personnelle des drames qu’a réellement connus la dynastie des Habsbourg. Le livre a été écrit en 1911, alors que l’empereur Fran?ois-Joseph (Fran?ois tout court dans le texte) régnait encore et que ces deuils étaient tout récents, ce qui expliquerait la très relative pudeur de l’auteur. Il n’est pas possible de résumer ce roman sans en donner les clés et par là en g?cher irrémédiablement la lecture. Disons que c’est une histoire de vengeance et de mort, une histoire terriblement sanglante. L’assassinat qui constitue le prologue du livre n’est qu’un aspect, presque secondaire, de l’intrigue. Mais si le feuilleton ne compte plus les invraisemblances, si l’auteur a recours à tous les artifices les plus classiques du genre : sosies, portes secrètes, déguisements, talents extraordinaires des héros, il faut reconna?tre que l’histoire est remarquablement construite, se développe de fa?on à soutenir constamment l’intérêt du lecteur et que les épisodes s’embo?tent parfaitement les uns à la suite des autres.

The character of Professor Challenger was introduced in this book. Interestingly, for a seminal work of dinosaur-related fiction, the animals only occupy a small portion of the narrative. Much more time is devoted to a war between early human hominids and a vicious tribe of ape-like creatures.

De peste 160 de ani, impozanta Cavendon Hall este re?edin?a a dou? familii ale c?ror destine s-au ?ntrep?truns inexorabil: aristocra?ii Ingham ?i slujitorii lor loiali, membrii familiei Swann Charles Ingham, al ?aselea conte de Mowbray, locuie?te aici cu so?ia lui Felicity ?i cu cei ?ase copii. Lady Daphne, cea mai frumoas? dintre cele patru fiice ale contelui, se preg?te?te s?-?i fac? debutul ?n ?nalta societate, iar acest eveniment capteaz? aten?ia ?ntregii familii. ?ns? cineva ?i-a pus ?n g?nd s? distrug? totul ? ?i a ales cel mai crud mod cu putin??. Consecin?ele pot fi dezastruoase at?t pentru via?a ?i reputa?ia frumoasei tinere, c?t ?i pentru ?ntreaga familie ?i pentru numele de Ingham. Re?ntoarcerea lui Hugo Ingham Stanton, v?rul primar al contelui, alungat de la Cavendon Hall cu ?aisprezece ani ?n urm? de c?tre propria mam?, va fi pentru Lady Daphne nu numai o salvare providen?ial?, ci ?i g?sirea unei iubiri pentru o via??. Sub amenin?area Primului R?zboi Mondial, familiile Ingham ?i Swann vor fi supuse unor ?ncerc?ri pe care nu le-ar fi crezut niciodat? posibile – loialit??i vor fi puse sub semnul ?ntreb?rii, secrete vor fi dezv?luite ?i iubiri vor fi tr?date. ?n acele vremuri pline de incertitudini, un singur lucru este sigur: pentru cele dou? familii, via?a nu va mai fi niciodat? la fel. Roman a c?rui ac?iune se desf??oar? pe o perioad? de ?aisprezece ani, ?ntre 1913 ?i 1929, Cavendon Hall nu-i va dezam?gi pe cititorii Barbarei Taylor Bradford. ?Fani Downton Abbey, preg?ti?i-v?!
