Pastimes
Summer is coming, it's the time for every school student to enjoy their hobbies and favourite pastimes. Reading is what they all are going to have in common in summer. Let's go to the library and ask the librarian what classical Russian authors are most popular with 8 Year students. The answer is 'Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev'.
Spotlight on Russia reads an extract from one of the most famous short novels by Turgenev - First Love
Translated by C. Garnett
Chapter II
On that day I went as usual into the garden, and happened to go close to the low fence which separated our garden from the neighbours’. Suddenly I heard a voice; I looked across the fence, and was thunder-struck. ...
A few steps from me on the grass between the green raspberry bushes stood a tall slender girl in a striped pink dress. Four young men were close round her, and she was slapping them by turns on the forehead with those small grey flowers, the name of which I don’t know, though they are well known to children. The flowers form little bags, and burst open with a pop when you strike them against anything hard. The young men presented their foreheads so eagerly, and in the gestures of the girl, there was something so fascinating, imperious, mocking, and charming, that I almost cried out with admiration and delight. I thought, I would give everything in the world at once only to find myself one of these young men. I forgot everything; I stared at the graceful shape and lovely arms and the slightly disordered fair hair. ...
‘Young man, hey, young man,’ said a voice suddenly near me: ‘is it allowed to stare so at unfamiliar young ladies?’ Near me, the other side of the fence, stood a man with closecropped black hair, looking ironically at me. At the same instant the girl also turned towards me. ... I caught sight of big grey eyes in a bright mobile face, and the whole face suddenly quivered and laughed, there was a flash of the white teeth, a funny lifting of the eyebrows. I blushed and fled to my own room, threw myself on the bed, and hid my face in my hands. My heart was fairly leaping; I was greatly ashamed and overjoyed; I felt an excitement I had never known before.
After a rest, I brushed my hair, washed, and went downstairs to tea. The image of the young girl floated in front of me, my heart was no longer leaping, but was full of a sort of sweet oppression.
‘What’s the matter?’ my father asked me all at once.
I was on the point of telling him all about it, but I controlled myself, and only smiled to myself. As I was going to bed, I rotated — I don’t know why — three times on one leg, pomaded my hair, got into bed, and slept like a log all night.
