Description
A Serendipitous Error and An Evil Malady First English Translation by Ivan Goncharov This collection of early novellas showcases the eclectic narrative skills of Ivan Goncharov, author of Oblomov. A Serendipitous Error, written in 1839 when Goncharov was just twenty years old, is accompanied here by another early work, An Evil Malady, and a short fictional fragment. These stories offer a glimpse into the lives of young people navigating love, social expectations, and personal identity in 19th-century Russia. Translated for the first time into English, this edition provides an opportunity to experience Goncharov's unique voice and perspective on the human experience. With its concise pages and paperback binding, this book is a compact introduction to Goncharov's work.
