A crowded plot full of love affairs, shootings, attempted suicides, summer parties, and so forth. Platonov evokes the principal themes that were to preoccupy the author during his theatrical career: the uprooting of the idle aristocracy, the idealism of youth, the disillusion of the aging (both of which can lead to suicide) the boredom of provincial life and salvation through hard work.
