Set in pre-revolutionary Russia, the book tells the story of a young woman who rebels against the rigid social norms of her culture and pursues a libertine lifestyle. Artsybashev's work was seen as shocking and scandalous when it was first published, and remains a provocative and thought-provoking read today.
