The novel "Summer of the Lord" is the most famous work of I.S. Shmelev. It was published in full in Paris in 1948. It consists of three parts: "Holidays", "Holidays - Joys", "Sorrow". The book is unusually full and deeply recreated church-religious stratum of folk life. The meaning and beauty of Orthodox holidays, rituals, customs that remain unchanged from century to century, revealed so brightly and convincingly that the novel has become a true encyclopedia of life of the Russian Orthodox man. Shmelev's language is organically connected with the living folk speech, it reflected the very soul of Russia. I.A. Ilyin noted that what is depicted in Shmelev's novel is not what "was and has passed," but what "is and will remain..." The writer succeeded in creating "an artistic work of national and metaphysical significance," capturing "the sources of our ... spiritual power" (I.A. Ilyin, "On Darkness and Enlightenment").
