Filled with dreams of pursuing a career as a poet, the young
Alexander Aduev moves from the country to St Petersburg, where he
takes up lodgings next to his uncle Pyotr, a shrewd and world-weary
businessman. As his ideals are challenged by disappointment in the
fields of love, friendship and poetical ambition, Alexander must
decide whether to return to the homely values he has left behind or
adapt to the ruthless rules and morals of city life. Told in the
author's trademark humorous style and presented in a sparkling new
translation by Stephen Pearl, The Same Old Story - Goncharov's
first novel, preceding his masterpiece Oblomov by twelve years - is
a study of lost illusions and rude spiritual awakening in the
modern world.
