A secret terrorist group infiltrates the household of a government official¿s son, with a view to spying on the father and, ultimately, assassinating him. But the young man entrusted with the task ¿ an ailing, world-weary ¿nobody¿ ¿ seized with the purposelessness of life and a sense of his own impending death, gradually becomes disillusioned with his mission, and decides to embark on a new path which will lead him to tragedy. Combining psychological detail with a strong sense of place and time, The Story of a Nobody bears all the hallmarks of Chekhov¿s genius, and perfectly captures the political and social tensions of its day.
