This book demonstrates how the Russian thought and literature of the 18th ? 19th centuries influenced Jewish thought and Hebrew literature. Absorption of ideological influences is a universal phenomenon that is instrumental to progress and cultural development, and it is accepted in Jewish culture as well.

The book focuses upon the phenomenon in Russian literature in which a man desires a woman, feels humiliated after having sexual relations with her, and ends up seeking revenge upon his partner. Examined here for the first time, this study on the nature of heterosexual relationships in Russian literature will be of interest to scholars of Russian literature, gender studies, and psychology.
