Synopsis
Excerpt from Countess Ida
I had danced all the evening with the Countess. Her dancing was a sweet dream, and her conversa tion was, as I have suggested, candid to a degree, though, when I came to count up what I knew of the girl afterwards, I discovered that this was very little, and that she had, in fact, reversed for her own use the old proverb which says that it is more blessed to give than to receive, for she had received much information and given next to none.
We were now in the refreshment-room, sitting out the mazurka,' which in Russia is a long dance with many pretty figures, like a cotillon, but mostly done to the Polish mazurka step, of which I was utterly ignorant, and therefore unwilling to attempt it in public.
How like a proud Englishman!' said my com panion, laughing unwilling to appear awkward.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Set against the backdrop of the vast Russian Empire, this book tells of how an English officer, while learning to speak Russian through immersion, is accused of a heinous crime and exiled to Siberia.

The complexities of love, justice, violence, and the loss of self are unveiled and examined as the officer contends with his new existence, enduring brutality and despair while seeking solace in friendship and moments of beauty amidst a bleak and unforgiving landscape. Ultimately, this book delves into the very heart of what it means to retain your humanity in the face of relentless adversity.
