Book Description
Excerpt from Tchitchikoff's Journeys, Vol. 2: Or, Dead Souls Andrei Ivanovitch was of a quiet disposition. He could not be led astray by the nightly orgies of his schoolmates, who committed their evil deeds in full view of the windows of the principal's quarters, nor by their mockery of holy things, which arose because the pope chanced not to be a very clever man. No, even in his dreams his mind recognized its heavenly Origin. But he hung his head: his ambition was aroused, but there was no career of active occupation open to him. It would have been better not to arouse it. He listened to tlfia enthusiastic professors at their lectures, and recalled his former instructor, who knew how to talk in intelligible terms without becoming ex cited. What courses and subjects did he not hear! Medicine and chemistry, philosophy, law, and the uni versal history of mankind, on such a vast scale that in three years the professor succeeded in reading the introduction only, and the development of the munici pal idea in some German cities or other; and God only knows what he listened to! But all this lingered in his brain in formless masses. Thanks to his native sense, he was conscious that he ought not to be taught in that manner; but the proper way he did not know. And he often recalled Alexander Petrovitch, and grew so sad that he did not know what to do with himself for grief.
