Editorial Reviews

Ingram
Conrad deftly depicts both the political turmoil in Russia in 1911 and its psychological repercussions in this novel about a student unwittingly caught in revolutionary intrigue. Attending St. Petersburg University, and industriously preparing himself for a career in the czarist bureaucracy, Razumov suddenly finds himself enmeshed in a secret plot. This newly edited version of one of Conrad's classic works demonstrates the turn-of-the-century writer's extraordinary grasp of traditional Russian literature and thought.
