Shanin (translation of Russian-soviet Literary Classics)

About This Novel

The novel "Sha Ning" begins when the protagonist Shan Ning returns to his hometown and ends when he leaves by train. It writes about what he did during that time in his hometown. Shan Ning left home when he was young, and his character was developed outside the family. He was as free as "a tree in the wilderness." He has an indifferent attitude towards everything and hates almost everyone around him. He spent the night with the farmer's granddaughter, and took possession of the beautiful female teacher Karlsavina on a boat on the river on a moonlit night. He even had impulses for his sister Lida; he beat the officer Zarudin and shattered the fantasy of the Jewish young Solovychik, which directly led to the relationship between these two people. He committed suicide; he hated almost everyone around him, even his own relatives, and was always indifferent to the death of acquaintances, thinking that there was another fool missing in the world; he was tall, strong, smart and flexible, and could do whatever he wanted. At the same time, he was lonely, bored, and wandering. This image appeared in an era when Russian intellectuals generally felt lost and depressed, and was therefore regarded as a symbol of the overall "degeneration" of the Russian cultural elite.
