Sanine
by Mikhail Artsybashev
387 pages~6 hrs
“In a world of broken ideals, only the senses are real.”
Amidst the wreckage of a fading empire, a generation of disillusioned youth abandons politics for a dangerous cocktail of nihilism and raw desire. At the center stands Sanine, a man who defies every moral boundary to live by his own animal instincts, challenging everything you believe about virtue and vice.
