The Duel  _ Written by Aleksandr Ivanovich Kuprin _Translated by George Allen & Unwin _ Based on the 1916 translation _ Plus: Biography of Aleksandr KUPRIN.

The novel tells the story of a young Sublieutenant Romashov, twenty-two years old, who has become an officer, but who he’s already disillusioned with army life in the middle of nowhere, and the brutish and blood-thirsty natures of his commanders and peers. The only thing keeping him from outright depression is his growing infatuation with the wife of a fellow officer; an infatuation which, half-returned, leads inevitably towards the titular subject.
