Ordinary history

Goncharova’s novel “Ordinary History” was first published back in 1847. However, in the XIX and XX and XXI century, it is full of romantic young men from the province, who, like the hero of the novel by Alexander Aduev, are eager for the capital, dreaming of “changing the world”, and then, faced with cruel reality, they lose their youthful illusions and They turn into cynics and pragmatists who are ready to go to success "on the heads."

“Ordinary History” is one of the deepest and most psychologically accurate novels of Russian realism of the 19th century.
