Excerpt from Among Horses in Russia During the last two and a half years, I have seen so many new and interesting phases of horse and military life in Russia, that I thought an account of them would interest general readers, as well as those who are acquainted with my more or less technical books on matters connected with horses. As I am the first foreigner who has been permitted to visit the Remount Depots of the Russian Cavalry Reserve, I venture to hope that my experiences are worth telling. I am glad to have this opportunity of thanking the Generals Commanding and officers of Liski, Tambof, Kirsanof, Borisoglebsk, and Balakleya for the kind hospitality they showed me while I was staying with them.

Excerpt from The Pale Horse The soul of Russia is revealed even more in her literature than in the realities of her life. If her activities are handicapped in many ways, her spirit lives in a sort of Utopian Freeland, where it is concerned only with problems of spiritual law and spiritual obligations. Russian novels - certainly the best of them - express this spirit, and are for that reason 'human documents' of great intensity. Each epoch of Russia's spiritual life is expressed in a few books of a highly imaginative character. Among those literary works which illuminate with a rare light the period just before the war, the problems which had to be faced by the heroic will and the mystic tendencies of a tragically unbalanced generation, Ropshin's Pale Horse ranks as one of the most characteristic.

Excerpt from The Horse-Stealers and Other Stories: From the Russian by Constance Garnett He did not know how to drive, he did not know the road, and he drove on at random, hoping that the horse would find the way of itself. Two hours passed; the horse was exhausted, he himself was chilled, and already began to fancy that he was not going home, but back towards Ryepino. But at last above the uproar of the storm he heard the far-away barking of a dog, and a murky red blur came into sight ahead of him: little by little, the outlines. Of a high gate could be discerned, then a long fence on which there were nails with their points uppermost.
