The Cathedral Dwellers

A novel-chronicle about two priests, one deacon, the toils of provincial Stargorod, and the collapse of a cherished fairytale. Leskov's main book combines humor with almost Old Believer pathos, and the writer's conservatism turns out to be one of the... aspects of his independence.
