His facial features were devoid of individuality, although his face was unique in its way and fitted no usual type, still - how should I put it? - even though one of a kind, it was typical and did not wholly belong to itself (2a).Острый и беспокойный умом человек, он начал свои занятия с изучения знаменитейшего философа древности перипатетика Аристотеля и, изучив его в полной мере, в такой же мере его возненавидел (Булгаков 5). A keen and restless mind, he had begun his studies with the works of the most famous philosopher of antiquity, the peripatetic Aristotle, and, having studied him in the fullest measure, he came to detest him in the same measure (5a). -
