Dans ce deuxième volume de LA LUMIERE DES JUSTES, qui peut se lire comme un roman séparé, la belle et ardente Sophie, jeune aristocrate française aux idées républicaines, est devenue la barynia, l’épouse du barine, du seigneur russe Nicolas Ozareff qu’elle a suivi dans son pays. Sa vie à Kachtanovka, immense domaine où les paysans serfs sont parqués dans de misérables villages, constitue pour Sophie une extraordinaire expérience. Indignée par l’injustice de certaines coutumes russes, elle n’hésite pas à affronter son beau-père, hallucinante figure de vieillard despotique mais qui finit par céder au charme de la jeune Parisienne au point de jalouser son propre fils. Dévouée à tous, Sophie apprend à lire au petit moujik Nikita, qui l’adore en secret. Mais est-elle assez attentive aux sentiments que Nicolas, désœuvré, sent naître en lui pour la belle Daria Philippovna ?
