About this audiobook
A brilliant but paralyzed intellectual finds himself unable to translate his lofty ideals into a life of practical action. Rudin’s eloquence inspires those around him, yet his fundamental flaws lead to a tragic cycle of aimless wandering. Turgenev crafts a definitive portrait of the "superfluous man" whose potential is suffocated by his own indecision. This character study is both a biting social critique and a moving tragedy.
