The Eve

The main heroine is Elena Stakhova, a twenty-year-old noblewoman, an intelligent, honest, and empathetic girl seeking more than social conversations and the routine of her parents' home. Her heart longs for true love, but neither sculptor Pavel Shubin nor candidate from Moscow University Andrei Bersenev resonates with her. Everything changes with the arrival of Bulgarian revolutionary Dmitry Insarov — passionate, mysterious, obsessed with the idea of liberating his people.
