What reading level is Impressions of Russia book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
You will find in his works the types of the intelligent young men of the day, of the female students with short hair and wise expression. He has painted the burlaki, who drag the boats on the Volga up against the stream. The expression in the depraved or resigned countenances of these bent, sweating laborers, with the tense muscles under their THE SCULPTOR ANTOPOLSEL 171 tatters, is admirable. He is fond of subjects like the departure of the recruits, the simple, every-day scene frequently met ...with ; the young man's departure from family and home ; or like " The Keturn of the Exile, " a picture which never ceases to be thrilling from its very simplicity. The look cannot be forgotten which the mother and sister, astonished and half frightened, not yet glad, cast upon the emaciated young form, in the sorry clothes, which silently glides in through the door.
The profound sympathy m this art veils the remorse- lessness of the realistic representation.
There is in Kussia at present only one eminent sculp- tor, who is of equal importance with these painters, and that is Antopolski, one of the few men of Jewish descent who have made themselves known in the history of sculpture.
