63038) ON THE EVE , Ivan Turgenev , Foreign Languages Publishing House Moscow , НАКАНУНЕ , Иван Тургенев ; Designed by B. M. Basov and published in the 1950s, this edition of Turgenev’s controversial novel set On The Eve of the Crimean War is short of bibliographic detail but long on design. The cover image is tremendous; the colours, artwork, typography and even how it forgoes titling to the spine make it startling beautiful. Inside there are a number of b/w line sketches of Turgenev and scenes from the book.
I knew him intimately during some fifteen years. I have visited him at Baden and Paris and Bougival; I spent ten days with him in 1870 at his country-house in Russia, and I have been with him on several occasions at different places in England; and everywhere and at all times I found him exactly the same, the most charming of companions, the kindest and most modest of men. During all the time that I knew him I never heard him utter a word in which the slightest shade could be detected of anything like jealousy or conceit. No one could be more ready than he always was to recognize and foster rising and struggling genius, to ap preciate and enjoy the merits of those among his rivals, living as well as departed, who had achieved success.
