Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Russia, the novel employs a rich, impressionistic style, seamlessly blending psychological insight with social commentary. Andreyev's intricate character development and haunting imagery serve to illuminate the struggles faced by individuals ensnared in the web of their own moral dilemmas, thereby making it a poignant exploration of the human condition during a time of great upheaval.
