Features: This book portrays the image of aimless intellectuals in the 1840s. The protagonist is a young man from an old aristocratic family in Russia. After marriage, he settles abroad, but as his wife is unfaithful, he becomes deeply disillusioned with love and decides to return to Russia to make something of himself. Upon returning, he falls in love with a graceful, innocent, and kind-hearted young girl. The joy of being with her dispels years of accumulated melancholy in his heart. Just as love rekindles his hope for life, his wife returns, and all his dreams are shattered.
