Summary "Ssanin: Roman" by M. Artsybashev is a novel written in the early 20th century. The work explores deep philosophical themes surrounding love, morality, and the socio-cultural dynamics of Russia, focusing particularly on the protagonist, Wladimir Ssanin, who espouses a controversial philosophy of free love. The narrative grapples with the implications of Ssanin's beliefs and actions within the context of a changing Russian society. At the start of "Ssanin," the book is introduced with a foreword discussing its contentious reception, especially following its ban in Russia. It details the circumstances of the novel's confiscation in Germany, highlighting the interest it stirred among journalists and readers despite (or because of) this prohibition. The early chapters set the tone by outlining the background of the protagonist's philosophy and the societal reactions to his views on relationships, love, and personal freedom, establishing Ssanin as a figure of both admiration and controversy. The conflict between the novel's themes and societal norms becomes evident through critiques and reflections presented before the main storyline unfolds. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
