About this book

Alexandr Vassilyevitch Ridel tells the title story to a circle of friends, recalling the 1830s, when he was a young man fresh from the University in Petersburg. He often visited his brother, an artillery lieutenant whose battery was stationed at Krasnoe Selo, and grew close to his brother's comrade Ilya Stepanitch Tyeglev, an officer who never smiled and who fits the "fatal" type then fashionable among young Russians. Four more stories follow: The Inn, Lieutenant Yergunov's Story, The Dog, and The Watch. Constance Garnett translated the volume.

Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev

Ivan Turgenev (1818-1883) was a Russian novelist and playwright, the first of his countrymen to win a wide European readership. A friend of Flaubert and Henry James, he wrote with a spare lyricism, and his Fathers and Sons remains a landmark of the nineteenth-century novel.
