Though Koznyshev's plan, which Levin had not heard to the end – of how a liberated Slavonic world, forty millions strong, should, together with Russia, commence a new epoch in history – interested him very much as something quite new to him, and though he was disturbed by curiosity and anxiety as to why he had been summoned, yet as soon as he had left the drawing-room and was alone, he immediately recollected his thoughts of the morning.
Sebbene le idee non finite di ascoltare di Sergej Ivanovic, su come il mondo liberato dagli slavi e forte di quaranta milioni di uomini dovesse, con la Russia, incominciare una nuova epoca nella storia, lo interessassero molto, come qualcosa di completamente nuovo per lui, e sebbene l’inquietassero la curiosità e l’ansia per la chiamata insolita, pure, quando si trovò solo, fuori dal salotto, egli ricordò immediatamente i suoi pensieri del mattino.
