Combines discussions of ethical, aesthetic and philosophical interest raised by Pushkin, Gogol, Turgenev, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, and Gorky, with close analyses of their texts. It focuses on four thematic configurations: issues of freedom and responsibility; the unity of moral, aesthetic, and spiritual categories, and the quest for the ideal; examples of commentary that approaches art with a unified ethical and spiritual perspective; three poems involving parting, loss and recovery.
