Ordinary Story. A novel in two parts

“Ordinary History” is the brilliant debut of Ivan Alexandrovich Goncharov (1812–1891) and the first novel in his famous trilogy. Already by name you can understand: there will be no discoveries. The young provincial Alexander Aduev arrives in the metropolitan Petersburg - and ... transforms. Of course, having previously suffered and in many ways disappointed. The picture of the world of enthusiastic and emotional romance collapses, faced with the principles of a cold -blooded and calculating realist - uncle. Common situation! And, it seems, experience and common sense defeat youth and enthusiasm. But is everything so simple? Is this a clash of two worldviews, two generations? Maybe this is the internal conflict of Aduev Sr.-with himself the past? Maybe these are only two sides of the same medal? ..
Life is more complicated and incredible than it seems to us! She should take a closer look and think - and then how many amazing discoveries awaits us!
