"This book - a love story, a devastating and bitterly funny social satire, and , perhaps most movingly of all, a heartfelt celebration of the immense beauty of the Russian countryside - is a tragic masterpiece in which one of the world's finest novelists confronts the enduring question of the place of happiness in a political world."--BOOK JACKET.
