BROTHERS KARAMAZOVĀ : Ā orthodox monasteries, deep woods, starry nights, the sound of paper being torn, dimly lit rooms, withered roses, Ā an unfinished letter, Ā piles of books, the sound of shattering glass, ticking of clocks in a silent house, Ā heavy wooden furniture, the air before a storm, the smell of earth, a crowd of people dressed in black, Ā distant murmurs, Ā emptied streets, Ā the fear of walking alone in dusk.
CRIME AND PUNISHMENTĀ :Ā coldness of the skin against a blade, slender pale fingers and slightly shaking hands, Ā a red stain blooming on white fabric, Ā lonely steps in a corridor, the slow dripping of water, looking out of the window into the thickening darkness, a single dying candle on the table, listening to oneās breath and counting heartbeats, too many stairs, the desire to be invisible, Ā a subtle memory of kind words.
THE IDIOTĀ :Ā Ā classical statues, wealth covered with dust, a dark house tainted with inherited madness, an unsettling feeling, long walks in a park, useless chatter, a silken ribbon forgotten on a bench, Ā a melancholic face, an unexpected spring rain, the joy of reading oneās favorite book, the clarity of mind after fully perceiving the world around, looking at cloudless sky.
ANNA KARENINAĀ :Ā Ā fields of crops, flowers brought from an early morning walk, the wind caressing a girlās hair, a bowl of fruit, the smell of ripe pears, the clatter of a spoon against porcelain when stirring tea, childrenās laughter coming from the garden, soft sunlight and white curtains, the sensation of velvet against skin, pearls from a ripped necklace spilling on marble floor, Ā a sudden silence in a room full of people.
WAR AND PEACEĀ :Ā Ā a glass of wine, the brightness of Ā a crystal chandelier, white lace, a raging snow storm, the sound of a door being gently closed, the moment of holding oneās breath before walking in a ball room, indulging in looking at a beautiful earring against light, closing Ā oneās Ā eyes Ā for Ā a Ā moment Ā while Ā dancing. Ā the sweet smell of strawberries, a pair of gloves left on an armchair, light scent of powder.
THE MASTER AND MARGARITAĀ : Ā the chaos of a lively city, Ā ambient jazz in expensive restaurants, Ā jumping on a moving tram, Ā the sight of moscow from the roof of a house, yellow flowers in a vase, leaning out of the window, shelves stacked with books, a small tin box with old photographs, strange shapes in the night sky, laughing in the middle of the night on a balcony, colorful posters for a surreptitious magicianās show floating in the wind.
EUGENE ONEGINĀ : Ā a lonely mansion, reading a book in the parlor, faint piano melody lingering in falling silence, Ā long evenings, Ā passing seasons, discussing french novels of the moment, Ā unspoken thoughts, Ā leaning against the door frame, Ā quickly averted glance, Ā eating a peach absent-minded, bright mornings, footprints in snow, a loud gun-shot terrifying a flock of birds nearby.
FATHERS AND SONS : Ā birch groves, morning mist, moss-covered stones near a moor, scientific books, white roses, cheap champagne, shabby pocket-watch, light-hearted irony, Ā a maladroit cello sonata, Ā freshly mowed grass, Ā leaving thoughts come and go, Ā a slow yawn, picturesque plates and bowls filled with traditional dishes, drinking tea on the porch.
DOCTOR ZHIVAGOĀ :Ā Ā a strange feeling of loss, Ā writing poems in a diary, traveling by train, Ā the Ā hesitation Ā before Ā touching Ā someoneās Ā hand, Ā the gaze of one lost in thought, Ā the warmth of cinnamon, a scarf brightly embellished with flowers, a glass of water, a threadbare jacket, Ā the tempting void, Ā the evanescent serenity of yesterday.
CHERRY ORCHARDĀ :Ā Ā a lone chair in an empty room, falling blossoms, old samovar, the unsettling need for a change, a mirror reflecting full moon, the disappointment of a glossy object turning worthless after second glance, Ā a piano out of tune.
