About this audiobook
A brilliant but disillusioned intellectual struggles to find a place for his lofty ideals in a world of practical constraints. Rudin’s eloquence inspires those around him, yet his inability to act leads to a tragic cycle of wandering. Turgenev crafts a tragic figure who embodies the frustrations of a generation of "superfluous men." This character study is both a biting social critique and a deeply moving personal portrait.
