When Turgenev published Diary of a Superfluous Man in 1850, he created one of the first literary portraits of the alienated man. Turgenev once said that there was a great deal of himself in the unsuccessful lovers who appear in his fiction. This failure, along with painful self-consciousness, is a central fact for the ailing Chulkaturin in this melancholy tale. As he reflects on his life, he tells the story of Liza, whom he loved, and a prince, whom she loved instead, and the curious turns all their lives took.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51856106324256,"sku":"NEW0393319202","price":22.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/41t3uTMJvSL.jpg?v=1781546973","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/diary-of-a-superfluous-man-0393319202","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
