A story about the morals of 19th-century Russian nobility resonates in a striking way with the realities and ethical values of our own time. Emotions are paid for with money — money that is ruthless and destructive. A timely tale of a “spiritually impoverished” man of great wealth, confident in his power and certain of how to achieve his goals.
