The Story of a Nobody is a profound and moving work of fiction, combining the political tensions of the day with a tale of deep poignancy and sorrow.

With St Petersburg awash with extravagant, dissolute bureaucrats concerned only with increasing their vast riches, a member of a secret movement is infiltrated into one such household.

Once there, the man sees for himself the profligacy he has sworn to oppose - yet he also sees purposelessness throughout life.

Determining to follow his own values, he embarks upon a new path, little knowing that this too will lead him to tragedy - and a tragedy that he will find impossible to bear.
