Bag om The Diary Of A Superfluous Man

The Diary of a Superfluous Man is a novella written by Ivan Turgenev, a prominent Russian author. The story is told through the diary entries of the protagonist, a middle-aged man named Chulkaturin, who feels that he is a superfluous person in society. He is a retired civil servant who has never married and has no children. He spends his days wandering around the city and reflecting on his life.Chulkaturin is a man who is disillusioned with life and feels that he has no purpose. He is haunted by memories of his past and the missed opportunities he has had. He is also deeply unhappy with the state of society and the way people treat each other. Throughout the novella, he reflects on his life and the choices he has made, and he ultimately comes to the realization that he has wasted his life.The Diary of a Superfluous Man is a poignant and melancholic exploration of the human condition. Turgenev's writing is introspective and thought-provoking, and he provides a powerful commentary on the nature of existence and the search for meaning. The novella is a classic of Russian literature and is widely regarded as one of Turgenev's greatest works.A sleepy, unkempt doctor, smelling strongly of spirits, was brought. My father died under his lancet, and the next day, utterly stupefied by grief, I stood with a candle in my hands before a table, on which lay the dead man, and listened senselessly to the bass sing-song of the deacon, interrupted from time to time by the weak voice of the priest. The tears kept streaming over my cheeks, my lips, my collar, my shirtfront.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
