About this audiobook
During a chance encounter in Germany, a young nobleman is swept into a whirlwind romance that challenges his planned future. This novella captures the sudden, overwhelming power of obsession and the ease with which a life can be derailed. Turgenev’s prose is at its most vibrant and sensory here, evoking the flush of new love and the bitterness of its aftermath. It is a masterful depiction of the impulsive nature of the human heart.
