The very name of the novel by Russian writer Ivan Alexandrovich Goncharov (1812 - 1891) emphasized his ironic attitude to the reigning cult of romanticism in literature and outlined the transition to realism.

The newly made Petersburger quickly breaks the heart, and the cynical city does not give the young man either eternal love, or indestructible friendship, or poetic glory.

to heal mental wounds, he returns to the maternal estate, and after a year and a half he rides to Petersburg again. But already a completely different person. What awaits him this time?
