Dmitry Mamin-Sibiryak presents a rich and unflinching portrait of a man undone not by poverty but by wealth itself, as those around him scheme to control his inheritance while he struggles to find purpose and integrity amid relentless social pressure.\n\nRegarded as one of the masterworks of Russian regional realism, this novel stands as a powerful indictment of the merchant class and the corrupting influence of capital in Tsarist Russia. Mamin-Sibiryak writes with the precision of a social chronicler and the passion of a moralist, drawing on his intimate knowledge of Ural life to illustrate how fortune can become a prison. Readers who believe they understand the price of wealth may find, by the final page, that they have only begun to reckon with its true cost.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130586439899,"sku":"2026100007641-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/328e2500-83b4-4c11-8fcd-05439c9d4500.png?v=1786586891","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100007641-secondhand-the-privalov-fortune","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
