Product Description

Book Description

The Same Old Story (1847) tells the story of Alexander Aduyev who leaves the idyllic setting of his home in the country to seek his fortune and make a career in St. Petersburg under the guidance and protection of his uncle, a government official. Such is the beginning of this "ordinary story". Alexander Aduyev, a "romantic three times over" (to quote Vissarion Belinsky) gradually sheds his idyllic notions and develops into a heartless and calculating climber. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars beautifully illustrated the mind of man at different age, 7 Oct 2007
By chandrurama "rama" (pudukkottai,Tamilnadu,India) - See all my reviews
I loved reading this book. The author clearly depicts the mind of young man, middle aged man and old man. The nephew, the young man is after yellow flowers. The uncle, middle aged man has no sentiments for love and relationships and teases his nephew. When he become aged, his concern is his wife. At that time, his nephew, the young man become middle aged and has no concern for sentiments. He teases his uncle back.
