About this audiobook
During a chance encounter in a foreign land, a young nobleman is swept into a whirlwind of obsession that threatens his sanity and future.

Turgenev’s prose is at its most sensory and vibrant here, evoking the flush of love and the bitterness of its aftermath. It is a masterful depiction of the impulsive human heart.
