Futility: A Novel On Russian Themes

Futility: A Novel on Russian Themes

by William Alexander Gerhardi

Futility explores the complex relationships between England and Russia through the experiences of a young Englishman, Lionel, who travels to Russia in the years leading up to World War I. Lionel is drawn to Russia's vibrant culture and enigmatic people, but he also witnesses the country's political turmoil and social unrest. As he navigates this foreign landscape, Lionel must confront his own prejudices and assumptions about Russia and its people. Gerhardi's novel is a nuanced and insightful portrayal of two very different cultures, and it offers a timeless meditation on the human condition.
