註釋"Goncharov himself had vast experience in the world of bureaucratic career and disillusionment he describes in the course of telling the story of his hero, Alexander Aduyev, the romantic young man who makes the trip from the provinces to the capital, and searches for love and a career. The young Alexander's foil in the novel is his sophisticated uncle, an unsentimental rational man who is a successful bureaucrat and entrepreneur. The dialogue between these two contrasting types provides much of the novel's energy and humor. No less important, however, is the contribution of Alexander's aunt, who has compassion for her nephew's situation, and understands the problem of relying too much on reason as well as the perils of romanticism. The key to this novel is its humanity and thorough knowledge of both people and the life they lived in this period. Alexander's coming of age is indeed an "ordinary story," but it is told in an extraordinary way."--BOOK JACKET.
