Summary "Sanine" by M. Artsybashev is a novel written during the early 20th century. The book delves into the complexities of human desires and societal constraints through the experiences of Vladimir Sanine, a man who returns to his provincial hometown after years away. His return exposes the dynamics of his relationships with his mother, sister Lida, and the various characters in their circle, amidst the backdrop of a changing Russian society filled with emotional turmoil and unfulfilled aspirations. The beginning of "Sanine" introduces us to Vladimir Sanine, who arrives at his family's home, where he is met with mixed emotions from his mother and sister. As they engage in conversation, it becomes clear that Sanine's life experiences have altered his demeanor and perspective, leaving his family feeling somewhat alienated. The narrative explores themes of freedom, personal identity, and the oppressive nature of societal expectations as Sanine observes the unsatisfactory relationships surrounding him, particularly those involving love and desire. His sister Lida's infatuation with her brother and her struggles with societal norms set the stage for a deeper exploration of the conflicting desires among the characters that follows in the novel.
