"Ordinary History" (1846) - the debut novel of Ivan Alexandrovich Goncharov. It unfolds the eternal plot of the collapse of illusions. A young romantic boy comes from the provinces to the capital, full of hope, dreaming of literary fame, friendship and bright love. In St. Petersburg he comes "under the wing" of his uncle, a man of great life experience, who is skeptical of lofty dreams and aspirations. The predictions of Aduev Senior come true: gradually disappointed in his ideals, the protagonist by the end of the novel appears before us as a completely different person. The conflict of two generations, two characters, two worldviews in "An Ordinary Story" is shown with Goncharov's inherent subtle humor and heartfelt lyricism. One of the best examples of Russian realist literature of the mid-19th century, this novel does not lose its relevance for modern readers.
