Ivan Sergeyevich Shmelev (1873–1950) was a Russian writer and publicist, twice nominated for the Nobel Prize, nicknamed the "Orthodox writer" for his large number of texts about the spirituality of the Russian people. While in emigration, "he never stops thinking about Russia and suffering from its misfortunes for a minute in his spiritual fervor."
"On the rocks of Valaam" is a travel sketch about Ivan Shmelev's trip to the Valaam Monastery, where he spends several weeks with his young wife. The rocky shores of Valaam impress him with their beauty.
"Russia, Orthodox Russia - where? What kind?.. Valaam remained, survived... Now - Russia is not heard, Russia does not come, does not bring its prayers, work, pennies, skills. But it still stands. Bright."
