Excerpt from Time and Eternity: A Tale of Three Exiles
Mr. Perekatov struck a match, burned his fingers, growled, lit another. As he held it in the cup of his huge hairy hands its light revealed a massive Jewish face, a long delicate nose, thick, sensitive lips, a heavy blue chin and tragic, short-sighted eyes. Opening his hands he held the light up to the door and found the number he was seeking - 33.
"That's good!" he said, looking up the dark street, and he knocked on the door.
He heard light footsteps on the stairs, the door was opened and a woman stood in the light of a guttering candle. The hall and stairs were dirty, but the woman was neat in her petticoat and bed-jacket, and Mr. Perekatov guessed at once that she was French. He removed his hat and asked:
"Mr. Stephen Lawrie?"
"I think he is in," said the woman, and she reached out and knocked on an inner door.
Mr. Perekatov noticed with relief that she was middle-aged, sober and self-possessed.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book unfolds the tale of Mr. Perekov, a Russian exile who seeks to challenge the quiet, stoic, and secretive nature of the English intelligentsia in post-World War I England. Stephen Lawrie, a young, disillusioned English scholar, becomes the unforeseen target of Mr. Perekov's attempts to arouse the English out of their complacency. As a product of a traditional, emotionless education, Stephen resists these tactics while struggling with his own inner conflicts. Stephen's encounter with a mysterious golden-voiced woman sparks his dormant capacity for passion, awakening both fear and desire within him. The author uses this evocative encounter to question the limits of idealism and individuality within human relationships. Ultimately, this book explores the complexities of the human condition, examining the tension between the allure of solitude and the need for human connection. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
