Thirty-year-old Piotr Alekseevich Marakulin lives a contented, if humdrum life as a financial clerk in a Petersburg trading company. He is jolted out of his daily routine when, quite unexpectedly, he is accused of embezzlement and loses his job. This change of status brings him into contact with a number of women--the titular "sisters of the cross"--whose sufferings will lead him to question the ultimate meaning of the universe. The first English translation of this remarkable 1910 novel by Alexei Remizov, an influential member of the Russian Symbolist movement, Sisters of the Cross is a masterpiece of early modernist fiction. In the tradition of Gogol's Petersburg Tales and Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment, it deploys densely packed psychological prose and fluctuating narrative perspective to tell the story of a "poor clerk" who rebels against the suffering and humiliation afflicting both his own life and the lives of the remarkable women whom he encounters in the tenement building where he lives in Petersburg. The novel reaches its haunting climax at the beginning of the Whitsuntide festival, when Marakulin thinks he glimpses the coming of salvation both for himself and for the "fallen" actress Verochka, the unacknowledged love of his life, in one of the most powerfully drawn scenes in Symbolist literature. Remizov is best known as a writer of short stories and fairy tales, but this early novel, masterfully translated by Roger Keys and Brian Murphy, is perhaps his most significant work of sustained artistic prose.Binding Type: Paperback

☀️ Holy Grail SPF Mist! especially for makeup days 💦
Item Package Quantity: 1, Item Package Quantity: 1
If you hate the feeling of greasy sunscreen but still want serious protection, this is the glow-up you’ve been waiting for. I use this as the last step in my morning skincare and as a top-up over makeup throughout the day. It’s lightweight, non-greasy, and gives a dewy finish without looking oily, just a fresh, hydrated glow ✨
The mist is fine and even (no big droplets or weird stickiness), and it dries down fast. No white cast, no clogged pores, no breakouts. Just SPF 50+ that actually works with your makeup instead of wrecking it. I’ve even used it midday at Disneyland and didn’t burn once, and I’m someone who burns if I think too hard about sunshine 🥵
Helpful hint: Shake it well before spraying, and hold it about 6 inches from your face for a nice even mist. One pass usually does the trick, but I like to go back over my nose and cheeks for extra protection ☁️ It also doubles as a midday makeup refresher, especially when your foundation starts looking a little dry 🧴
I brought this with me on a full weekend trip to Disneyland and it absolutely earned its spot in my park bag 🎒 I was in the sun all day, both days, and didn’t burn at all, even with minimal shade and back-to-back rides 🎢 It layered like a dream over makeup, didn’t feel heavy, and made touch-ups fast and easy in between churros. This mist officially passed the Disneyland test. 🎡☀️💕

Good but heavy smell
Item Package Quantity: 1
I will keep using this bc it works and the sprayer is sooo nice but the smell is so overwhelming. It’s not a bad smell but it’s just so heavy. I’ll use this one but I don’t see myself repurchasing.

Good but confusing instructions
It is very glowy. After spraying this on my husband commented on why I was sweating so much 😹 I told him it’s my face mist spf. I have very dry and very sensitive skin and this has not broken me out (yet). I’ve used it for about a week now. I don’t know how much sun protection I’m really getting though. And reapplying it all through out the day, esp in the summer will lead to very very oily looking skin.
It’s also confusing because it says do not spray directly onto face. (?) I just hold my breath and close my eyes tightly before I put my mascara on and spray this. So far it’s been helpful with not making my make up look cakey. There is a smell but it’s not a bad smell, slightly fruity and the smell of spf. If you are sensitive to smells this might not be for you.

So refreshing, you’ll forget it’s sunscreen.
This stuff is fantastic. I love the super fine mist and how easily the pump works. It is soo refreshing and smells like fresh coconut. Ot doesn’t sting or burn my sensitive eyes, and it leaves my skin feeling revitalized and moisturized, not sticky or tacky. It feels amazing when it’s hot outside and you need a quick refresh and it won’t disturb my makeup. Coola is becoming one of my favorite sunscreen brands.
