The novel "Summer of the Lord" is the most famous work of I.S.Shmelev. In the full version, it was published in Paris in 1948. It consists of three parts: "holidays", "holidays - joy", "sorrows".

The meaning and beauty of the Orthodox holidays, rites, customs remaining unchanged from century to century are disclosed so brightly and convincingly that the novel has become the true encyclopedia of the life of a Russian Orthodox person. Shmelev’s language is organically connected with living folk speech, the very soul of Russia reflected in it.
