The Demi-Paradise

Ivan Kouznetsoff, a Russian engineer, recounts his pre-war stay in England, where he works on a new propeller for ice-breaking ships. Naïve about the British and influenced by hearsay, he bluntly shares his low opinion of them, initially alienating his hosts, including Ann Tisdall, whose grandfather owns the shipbuilding firm. Over time, Ivan comes to appreciate British humor, warmth, and conviction, and as a romantic bond with Ann deepens, a cultural bond forms—especially after Germany attacks Russia.
