In this incomparable novel of the seething revolutionary Russia of 1905, Andrey Biely plays ingeniously on the great themes of Russian history and literature as he tells the mesmerizing tale of Apollon Apollonovich Ableukhov, a high Tsarist official, and his dilettante son, an aspiring terrorist, whose first assignment is to assassinate a high Tsarist official.
