Franck, who has to align his desires with his needs; Nathan, who has to adjust to his constantly changing turf; and, Cedric, who has to open his eyes to reconstruct himself. Unlike the author’s previous collection of short stories, I found the eye opening situation in each story to be a bit harder to discern. In the other two stories, ‘The Alignment’ and ‘The Changing Turf’, I felt like it was a little bit more rushed.

In one, I’m still not sure I know which part was actually supposed to be the eye opening thing that happened. Pitting the perfect innocence and faith of little Alyosha against the brooding rationalism of his brother Ivan, this narrative finds its culmination with episodes like the parable of the Grand Inquisitor, all wrapped up in sordid infidelities and a family feud the likes of which Russia had never seen before. I also love to sing, hike, play The Sims, watch tons of YouTube videos, and drink creamy tea and coffee. This two-part novella by the great master of Russia’s literary Golden Age is a fable of the most thought-provoking kind.

I spend a huge amount of time reading (way more time than I should, if we are being perfectly honest! Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. A story of degradation, woe and poverty that straddles the English Channel between London and Paris, our first pick from the British master George Orwell is a compelling tale of survival that’s arguably more autobiographical than imaginative prose.
