The Duel
About this book
Her mourth was almost pressed against his, and her words were like quick, hurried "You must absolutely go through with the duel tomorrow."This is an account of the final days of Czarist Russia. An absorbing saga about the brutalities of military life upon its own soldiers. Stranded at a distant outpost, young Romashov finds himself obliged to fight a duel — over something he realizes is meaningless. As the novel hurtles toward a startling conclusion, it reveals itself to be a luminous depiction of the end of an era.
