The Spectre of Alexander Wolf (Pushkin Collection)

A man comes across a short story which recounts in minute detail his killing of a soldier, long ago - from the victim's point of view. It's a story that should not exist, and whose author can only be a dead man. So begins the strange quest for the elusive writer 'Alexander Wolf'. A singular classic, The Spectre of Alexander Wolf is a psychological thriller and existential inquiry into guilt and redemption, coincidence and fate, love and death.

Of all my memories, of all my life's innumerable sensations, the most onerous was that of the single murder I had committed.'
