Banned shortly after its publication in 1907, the Russian novel "Sanin" scandalized readers with the sexual exploits of its eponymous hero. This book offers an analysis of the scandal's coverage in the provincial press and the reactions of young people who appealed to their peers to resist the novel's nihilistic message.
