Book Excerpt:

We seated ourselves and began to eat. Annouchka took off her hat; her black hair, cut short, fell in large curls over her ears and her neck. My presence appeared to embarrass her; but Gaguine said to her, "don't be shy; he will not bite you."

These words made her smile, and a few moments after she spoke to me without the least embarrassment. She did not remain quiet a moment. Hardly was she seated than she arose, ran towards the house, and reappeared again, singing in a low voice; often she laughed, and her laugh had something strange about it—one would say that it was not provoked by anything that was said, but by some thoughts that were passing through her mind.

Câu chuyện về cuộc gặp gỡ ngắn ngủi giữa một chàng trai, nhân vật xưng "tôi", và một cô gái tính tình có phần hoang dại này có vẻ đẹp của một tình yêu bất thành.

ΡΩΣΙΚΗ ΛΟΓΟΤΕΧΝΙΑ

Nostalgia iubirii pierdute, iubire de ordin platonic povestită cu o mare dezinvoltură şi fără nicio reticenţă într-un singur plan narativ.
O metaforă plăcută: "Ce cameleon mai e şi fata asta!"

I read the two novellas Asya and First Love in one sitting and was impressed by the ability of the author to create such dramatic, extraordinary and unforgettable women's characters like Asya and Zinaida, by his unquestionable talent to turn into a masterpiece a seemingly simple and straightforward
