The young woman seems to reciprocate his feelings, but she also casts lingering looks at two dashing princes during a recent ball, leaving Yegor uncertain about her true intentions. The story, titled \"An Evil Malady,\" was written in 1839, when Goncharov was still in his twenties, and is accompanied by another early novella, \"A Serendipitous Error,\" as well as a short fictional fragment. These stories, translated for the first time into English, showcase Goncharov's eclectic narrative skills and further cement his reputation as the celebrated author of Oblomov.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 148g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 127 x 199 x 13 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781847499110\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ivan Goncharov","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44896025673978,"sku":"9781847499110","price":5.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1702654506122_book.jpg?v=1702726339","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/a-serendipitous-error-and-an-evil-malady-9781847499110","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
