Description

Our protagonist Arkady is 19 years old. He is a young intellectual of Dostoevsky's era, yet Arkady's ideas of life resonate surprisingly well with modern generation of millennials and overall rejection of consumerism. Arkady's form of rebellion against society and his father manifests through the rejection of attending a university, making of money, and accumulation of wealth and power.
