It seemed as if she were laughing not at what she heard, but at various thoughts that came into her head. Her large eyes looked straight, bright, and boldly, but sometimes her eyelids would slightly narrow, and then her gaze suddenly became deep and tender." "Asya" by Ivan Turgenev. Dear readers! Our next and final literary salon before the summer vacation will be dedicated to the […]
