Alexander Ivanovich Kuprin devoted several years of his life to military service on the southwestern border of Russia, which gave him the opportunity to write such a vivid, emotional and truthful work as "Duel".
In the center of the story is the fate of the young Russian officer Georgy Romashov, a man who knows how to feel, empathize and understand others. In the stuffy, closed little world of the provincial garrison, the second lieutenant falls into the whirlpool of complex and harsh human relationships. Romashov's inquisitive mind, his unwillingness to put up with almost unbearable living conditions and falling in love with a married young woman Shurochka gradually show the best qualities of a hero - a strong will and loyalty to spiritual values - but the circumstances lead him to a sad ending.
