paperback. Condition: Very Good in Wrappers. No Jacket. London. 1990. Robin Clark. Reprinted Paperback Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 0860721124. 198 pages. paperback. Cover: Berthe Morisot-'Jeune Femme en Toilet de Bal (1897)'. keywords: Europe England Literature World Literature. DESCRIPTION - This is the first novel by William Gerhardie, first published in 1922, and it was made famous by H. G. Wells, who described it as 'true, devastating - a wonderful book'. Based on Gerhardie's own experiences as a member of the British Military Mission to Siberia shortly after the October Revolution, Futility paints a picture of contemporary Russian society which deserves comparison with the writing of Chekhov. At the centre of the story is Nicolai Vasilievich, who trails across Russia in the wake of the British Mission in the perpetual and unrealistic hope of seeing his fortunes improve, even though they steadily deteriorate. In counterpoint to Nicolai's comic progression, Gerhardie tells the story of his narrator's hopeless love for Nina, the second of Nicolai's three bewitching adolescent daughters. 'William Gerhardie is one of our immortals. He is our Gogol's Overcoat. We all came out of him.' Olivia Manning 'He is a comic writer of genius. but his art is profoundly serious.' C. P. Snow. inventory #32693. …

Reprint Edition (1991); First Printing Thus. First published in 1981. Trade Paperback. The biography of an age is the expansive cover description and so it is. Lenin, Wilde, Tolstoy, the Kaiser, Chekov. Certainly the best work of nonfiction (witty, blackly humorous) in the 20th century, a laurel he shares with Robert Caro's Path to Power. Few I know have read this devastating beauty and I like that--the notion of a cult following for Gerhardie! Gerhardie, by the way, was one of the most critically acclaimed English novelists of the 1920s (Evelyn Waugh told him, "I have talent, but you have genius."). H.G. Wells championed his work.
