Book Overview

A Nihilist Princess is a novel written by Louise Gagneur and published in 1881. The story revolves around a young Russian princess named Vera, who becomes disillusioned with the lavish lifestyle of the aristocracy and becomes involved with the nihilist movement. Nihilism is a philosophical belief that rejects traditional values and institutions, and Vera becomes a fervent advocate for the cause, even risking her life for it. Along the way, she falls in love with a fellow nihilist named Alexei and becomes embroiled in a dangerous plot to overthrow the government. The novel explores themes of idealism, revolution, and the clash between tradition and modernity. It is a compelling portrait of a young woman struggling to find her place in a rapidly changing world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
