THE 



CAREER OF A NIHILIST. 



A NOVEL. 

 BY STEPNIAK, 



Author of " The Russian Storm Cloudy' " The Russian Peasantry? 

 "Russia tinder the Tzars" etc., etc. 



The large section of the English public now reading Russian fiction 

 will be interested in the appearance of this work, the first novel written 

 in English by a Russian. Intimately acquainted with the life of revolu- 

 tionary Russia as the celebrated author is, he gives in this book a vivid 

 picture of the manners and ways of the men and women engaged in the 

 struggle against the system of despotism under which the subjects of 

 the Tzar live, and lets us into the very heart and secret of Nihilism. 

 Besides exhibiting that subtle psychology which we have learnt to look 

 for as a special trait of Russian writers, this novel is full of stirring 

 incident, and possesses one of the most powerful and pathetic plots to be 

 found in the whole range of fiction. 



" One expects a Nihilist romance by Stepniak to be full of the 

 actualities of the situation, to display the genuine and intimate senti- 

 ments of revolutionary society in Russia, and to correct not a few of the 

 impressions formerly gathered from novelists who only know that 

 society by hearsay and at second-hand. The reader will not be 

 disappointed in this expectation. No one can read this story . . . 

 without deep interest." Athenteum. 



" A very brilliant and remarkable novel just published by Walter 

 Scott, which will soon be the talk of literary London. We have seldom 

 read a more fascinating book than Stepniak's Career of a Nihilist"
