Description

Ivan Turgenev’s novella “The Diary of an Extra Man” is not merely a story of a doomed and unrequited love of a noble, but modest young man. It is a confession of a tormented heart that, for all its life, never found its calling or purpose—and was never happy. “The Diary of an Extra Man” is one of the first “personal” works by Turgenev.
