On the pretext of Virginsky's-name-day party, about fifteen guests were assembled; but the entertainment was not in the least like an ordinary provincial name-day party.Под видом дня рождения хозяина собралось гостей человек до пятнадцати; но вечеринка совсем не походила на обыкновенную провинциальную именинную вечеринку.Dostoevsky, Fyodor / The possessedДостоевский, Фёдор / БесыБесыДостоевский, Фёдор© Издательство "Художественная литература", 1989The possessedDostoevsky, Fyodor
