Excerpt from Russian Proprietor: And Other Stories
The style is perfectly simple and lucid; the pictures of life in the Tartar aul among the mountains are in tensely vivid, painted with strong masterly touches the heroism of the young officer in standing by his friend and fellow-captain is most affecting, and the reader will not soon forget the little black - eyed laughing maiden Dina, with the rubles jingling in her braided hair. She stands forth as one of the most fascinating of the author's creations, as the story itself is one that well deserves to be called classic.
