This guide covers the novel ( The Year of the Lord ) by Ivan Shmelev , a cornerstone of Russian literature that vividly reconstructs a lost world of pre-revolutionary Moscow through the eyes of a child. About the Book
The book is divided into three thematic parts: Holidays ( Праздники ), Joys ( Радости ), and Sorrows ( Скорби ).
Written during Shmelev's years in emigration (published as a complete edition in 1948), the novel is often described as an "encyclopedia of Russian Orthodox life".
It follows a young boy growing up in a merchant family in the Zamoskvorechye district of Moscow, where life is governed by the liturgical calendar and rich family traditions.
