Book Description
Turgenev's place in modern European literature is best defined by saying that while he stands as a great classic in the ranks of the great novelists, along with Richardson, Fielding, Scott, Balzac, Dickens, Thackeray, Meredith, Tolstoi, Flaubert, Maupassant, he is the greatest of them all, in the sense that he is the supreme artist. As has been recognised by the best French critics, Turgenev's art is both wider in its range and more beautiful in its form than the work of any modern European artist.

Book Description
In these impressionistic and mystical stories and sketches, identities flow into one another in the drag of timeoften unknowingly maintaining adversarial relations to each other in the general symbiotic culture. Here you find an aging escort sipping on gin-n-juice in a hotel in McLeod Ganj; a quaint brass-deity come haunting an Indo-Tibetan youth; a poacher, called Bucephalia, hunting down a musk deer in a dale in Kashmir; a Daoist shrine-keeper casting a Vedic horoscope. Whether it is the Buddha emerging from a veil of mist or the surge of humanity converging in the Kumbha-Mela, it takes you to the seductive realm of intertwined patterns of destiny which nevertheless transcends space and time, cultural and religious boundaries.
