Synopsis
Excerpt from The Career of a Nihilist: A Novel Exchanging a few words with a fellow-exile, the girl went through the rows of little tables occupied by groups of men in blouses, and passed out into the street. It was only half-past seven she was sure to find Andrey at home, he lodged close by and in five minutes Helen was at his door, her handsome, somewhat cold, face a little ushed by her quick walk. Andrey was alone, and at work upon a book Of statistics, from which he was making extracts for his weekly article in a Russian provincial paper. He turned his head, and rose with outstretched hand to welcome his visitor. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

It is like appearing in two different characters in the same play: the spectators will always have some difficulty in discarding the impression they may have received from the first whilst looking at the second. I have nothing but thanks to offer to my English and American critics, whose reception of my novel as a novel was so cordial, whose censure was so mild, and whose praise so free and generous. But almost all of them have persisted in viewing my novel as a sort of political pamphlet in the guise of fiction. They assumed it to be the summing up of the Nihilists' programme, both theoretical and practical, and very naturally reproached it for being exclusively negative in theory, and narrowly violent in practice. Be it permitted to me to say a word of explanation to my future readers. If they want to know what are the Nihilists as a political party: their very modest, sensible, and practical demands, the causes which called them into existence, etc., they must seek all this elsewhere. Here they will see the Nihilists as men, and not as politicians. Having been witness of and participator in a movement, which struck even its enemies by its spirit of boundless self-sacrifice, I wanted to show in the full light of fiction the inmost heart and soul of these humanitarian enthusiasts, with whom devotion to a cause has attained to the fervour of a religion, without being a religion.

    The first item was not right. The seller made it right. New item received in great condition. Thank you for the great communication and customer service. It looked exactly like the description and I'm pleased with the value of it. Thanks for producing a quality product that is almost impossible to find now. Most of all, thanks for making it right when it was wrong.
