"First published in Switzerland in 1892, finally printed in Russia in 1906, and never before translated into English, Nihilist Girl is the coming-of-age story of Vera Barantsova, a young aristocrat who longs to devote her life to a cause. Her privileged world is radically changed by Alexander I's emancipation of the serfs.
Vera first hopes to follow in the footsteps of Christian martyrs, but a neighboring landowner - a liberal professor fired from his position at Saint Petersburg University and exiled to his estate - opens her eyes to the injustice in Russia." "A blend of social commentary and psychological observation, Nihilist Girl depicts the clash between a generation of youth who find their lives caught up by political action and a society unwilling to abandon its patriarchal traditions."--BOOK JACKET.
