Hardcover, 729 pp.

First edition.

This book is the first of a 4-part work about the life of one Clim Samghin, a member of the Russian gentry living in pre-Revolution Russia. The time period of "Bystander" is 1880 through about 1905 and we are shown, through a somewhat absurdist perspective, the rot and dissassociation from reality at the core of this class of Russian society.
