WHAT'S TO BE DONE? romance by G..
Internationally. BENZ. K. Tucker, pub
Usher, Boston.
This novel and its author have a remark able
history. The work was written in 1868 in a
st. Petersburg dungeon, where the author
was confined for twenty two months prior to
being sent into exile in Siberia. The author
was not only one of the foremost literary
men in Russia, but one OF the earliest and
most Influential of the Nihi1sts, and, though
still in exile, he is looked upon by the Mill
lists even yet with a peculiar generation. His
influence upon the youth Of Russia was Of the
most extraordinary and Widespread charac-
ter, and was chiefly exercised through this rO-
nance, Whats TO be D0ne?" The book was
suppressed by the Gar. bat not before it had
had large circulation. The Russian work is
now rare, but IL is read secretly in Russia
still, where copies have been sold for a thou
sand roables each. Though it has been trans
lated INTO nearly every European language,
Mr.. fuckers translation Ia the first IN Eng
lish. The phenomenal movement bv which
the youth of the upper classes in Russia. and
especially the young girls, have enrolled
themselves in such large numbers in the Nihi-
iStic ranks, received its greatest impetus
from the publication of this book, the Driuci-
pal oh racters IN it becoming types on which
these young people formed themselves.
"'Whats TO be Done| WAS welcomed by the
Russian youth with extraordinary enihusi-
asm, and was always conaidered by the Mini
lists Themselves rs the best and most faithful
picture of Nihili5m,"
