Told in the author's trademark humorous style and presented in a sparkling new translation by Stephen Pearl, The Same Old Story - Goncharov's first novel, preceding his masterpiece Oblomov by twelve years - is a study of lost illusions and rude spiritual awakening in the modern world.
Filled with dreams of pursuing a career as a poet, the young Alexander Aduev moves from the country to St Petersburg, where he takes up lodgings next to his uncle Pyotr, a shrewd and world-weary businessman. As his ideals are challenged by disappointment in the fields of love, friendship and poetical ambition, Alexander must decide whether to return to the homely values he has left behind or adapt to the ruthless rules and morals of city life.
冈察洛夫(1812—1891), 19世纪俄罗斯著名作家,在辛比尔斯克(今乌里扬诺夫斯克)出生,父亲是富裕的商人。1834年莫斯科大学语文系毕业后到政府工作达30年。1847年,第一部长篇小说《彼得堡之恋》(原名《平凡的故事》)出版,描写一个地主少爷顺应资本主义兴起的局势,成为一个实业家的故事,赢得了评论家别林斯基的好评。1852年至1855年间作为海军中将叶夫菲米·普佳京的秘书随他航行到英格兰、非洲和日本,后经西伯利亚返回俄罗斯。冈察洛夫据此旅途写作的游记《战舰“巴拉达”号》在1858年出版,翌年又发表长篇小说《奥勃洛莫夫》,大获好评。1867年,他辞去政府职务,并发表他最后一部长篇小说《悬崖》(1869年)。冈察洛夫终身未婚,1891年在圣彼得堡逝世。作者总论自己的三部长篇小说,捍卫现实主义,反对自然主义和“为艺术而艺术”,在当时颇有影响。
