The Power Of The Land
''The Power of the Land'' (russian: Власть земли, translit=Vlast zemli) is a collection of sketches by Gleb Uspensky, first published in '' Otechestvennye zapiski'', Nos. 1-3, 1882. Followed by heated discussion in the Russian press, it was praised by liberals and panned by conservatives. In retrospect the book is regarded as Uspensky's major work. Background In September 1881 Gleb Uspensky purchased a house in the Syabrintsy village in the Chudovo region of Novgorod Governorate. It was there that in November 1881-March 1882 that he wrote the cycle of sketches, mixing fiction and non-fiction, based on his observations of the rural life in provincial Russia. Thematically and ideologically it became a sequel to his earlier work, ''Peasant and Peasant's Labour'' (Крестьянин и крестьянский труд, 1880) in which he analyzed the ways in which the working of the land had formed Russian peasant's character and mindset.

Piano Nobile
The ''piano nobile'' (Italian for "noble floor" or "noble level", also sometimes referred to by the corresponding French term, ''bel étage'') is the principal floor of a palazzo. This floor contains the main reception and bedrooms of the house. Characteristics The ''piano nobile'' is usually the first storey (in European terminology; second floor in American terms), or sometimes the second storey, containing major rooms, located above the rusticated ground floor containing the minor rooms and service rooms. The reasons for this were so the rooms above the ground floor would have finer views and to avoid the dampness and odours of the street level. This is especially true in Venice, where the ''piano nobile'' of the many '' palazzi'' is especially obvious from the exterior by virtue of its larger windows and balconies, and open loggias. Examples of this are Ca' Foscari, Ca' d'Oro, Ca' Vendramin Calergi, and Palazzo Barbarigo. Larger windows than those on other floors are usu ...
