In this novella, set during the reign of Catherine the Great, a young man embarking on his new career in the army performs an act of kindness that sets in motion a chain of life-changing events. It is described as a masterclass in storytelling and a founding text of the 19th-century Russian novel; high art at its most effortless; a singularly Russian work of the imagination; a timeless, universal story.
