Where It All Goes Down
Late 19th century Moscow, Petersburg, the Russian countryside, a German spa, and a small Italian town
Most crucial is the novel's setting in late 19th century Russia. This was a time of incredible intellectual fervor and debate about what direction Russia should take in becoming a modern nation. For centuries, Russia had been a place that lagged behind its Western neighbors in sophistication and culture. By the late 19th century, Russia was hurrying to catch up and prove it could be as advanced as the rest of Europe. This sparked a huge debate over how much Russia should try to Europeanize itself and how much it needed to hang onto its own traditional values.
