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", "Sorrows". In the book, the church-religious layer of folk life is unusually fully and deeply recreated. The meaning and beauty of Orthodox holidays, rituals, customs, which remain unchanged from century to century, are revealed so vividly and convincingly that the novel has become a true encyclopedia of the life of a Russian Orthodox person. 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 managed to create “a work of art of national and metaphysical significance”, capturing “the sources of our ... spiritual strength” ( Ilyin I. A. "On darkness and enlightenment").
