The opening
SCENE I
A public garden on the steep bank of the Volga; beyond the Volga, a view of the country. On the stage two benches and a few bushes.
KULIGIN (sitting on a bench, looking towards the river).
KUDRIASH and SHAPKIN (walking up and down).
KULIGIN (singing). “Amidst the level dales, upon a sloping hillside,”... (ceases singing) Wonderful, one really must say it’s wonderful! Kudriash! Do you know, I’ve looked upon the Volga every day these fifty years and I can never get tired of looking upon it.
The whole book is in the Sphinx app.
