Description
This work by the well-known Russian writer of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Nikolay Alexandrovich Leykin, is an exquisite twist tale. Its characters want everything to be like in novels: sentimental gestures and untold wealth bestowed upon a worthy person—but somehow it all turns out as it does in real life. Behind every action of a young man who comes to the village to visit his parents and suddenly finds himself a coveted fiancée is a calculation. What is behind the honor granted to the young restaurant attendant—respect for his “polish,” a sober lifestyle, the bride’s love, or something else? The reader will have to find out, plunging into an incredibly tense romance by a wonderful chronicler of everyday life and satirist.
