Mumu

This edition contains the brilliant novella “Mumu” (1854) by the great Russian writer Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev. Carlyle considered this work the most touching novella in the world. The motif of this novella is betrayal of one’s only true friend, of the only creature on Earth that loves you. Few in world literature have managed to express with such power the dark despair of a person in a hopeless situation.
