"The duel" by A. I. Kuprin is a novel published in 1905. An intelligent young officer stationed at a dreary Russian military garrison struggles against the brutality and stupidity surrounding him. When he falls for Shurochka, a fellow officer's wife, he mistakes her compassion for genuine feeling. She harbors darker ambitions. Their affair sets in motion a fatal confrontation that exposes both personal betrayal and the moral decay of military society. Published after Russia's defeat in the Russo-Japanese War, the novel earned Kuprin widespread acclaim. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
