Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Nineteenth Century, Vol. 7: A Monthly Review; January-June, 1880
The first Nihilist with whom we have to deal in the novel is a poor medical student of the name of Alexander who finds it cheaper to get drunk than to eat or dress himself decently.' In illustration of his faithfulness to Nihilistic principles we are favoured with the particulars of an intrigue with a rich danseuse, which lasted a fortnight, at the end of which she becomes tired of him and turns him out of the house.
