Passing Stranger is a historical novel about Ivan Vasilyevich Turchaninoff, a colonel in the Czars Imperial Army. Being dissatisfied with the life of serfdom Russia, he and his wife emigrate to the United States six years before the Civil War. At the outbreak of the war, Ivan, now John Basil Turchin, joins the Union Army and valiantly serves under President Abraham Lincoln, a man he greatly admires. The intrigues of parlor discussions provide settings for the emotions and feelings of the people who lived through the horrors of the conflict and provides a human touch to a momentous event in United States history.
Through Turchins eyes and ears, we see an unfolding of our nations history in a very personal and profound manner. This novel provides an unusual perspective on the Civil War through one who played a decisive role in the conflict.

Autoren-Porträt von Louis S. Rubin
Louis Rubin, born Leonid Rubincheck in 1911, was the third eldest of eight children of an esteemed Jewish cantor. His parents and the younger children left the USSR in the mid- twenties and moved to a better life in the United States of America. in 1928, Louis graduated from the gymnasium in Leningrad and followed his family, which had settled in Chicago, Illinois. Eventually, he continued his formal education by enrolling in the Western reserve University graduate studied program in Cleveland, Ohio.Louis left behind many relatives and friends, among them a coterie of devoted followers of his exploits as a checker master. Shortly before leaving his native country, Louis became the checker champion of the city of Leningrad. His interest in checkers never abated as he formed and sponsored numerous checker clubs, in addition to contributing regularly to various checker periodicals.
A few years after arriving in the USA, Louis met and married his beloved wife, Betty. She had emigrated from Hungary with her family some 10 years earlier and since her English was much better than his, she became his conduit to current events and the social movements of the day.
After World War II, Louis worked for the Cleveland Public Library in their History division. his most important project was translating the voluminous official documents of czarist Russia, published as "A DIGEST OF THE RED ARCHIVES". Although he loved history, the demands of a growing family soon made itself known and Louis left the library in the late forties to become a building contractor.
Louis had a number of avocations, including poetry, Russian history and the American Civil War. This biographical novel incorporates two of these interests; A Russian military officer emigrates to the nascent United States and shortly thereafter volunteers to aid the North as an officer in the Union army at eh beginning of the conflict.
