"The Emigrant" by L. F. Dostoevskaia is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Irene Mstinskaia, a Russian woman who, disillusioned by her homeland and its society, seeks solace in Italy. As she navigates her new life in Rome—the city that both captivates and disappoints her—she grapples with themes of identity, faith, and existential despair. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Irene as she sits in the picturesque Monte Pincio garden, struggling to focus on a book while being enraptured by the beauty of Rome. Her past is filled with loss and isolation, stemming from a superficial upbringing under her scientist father, leaving her lonely but idealistic. She fantasizes about the perfect love and life that she believes exists abroad, reflecting on her feelings of contempt for Russian society. The opening chapters delve into her psychological struggles and introduce her complex relationship with faith—setting the stage for her eventual exploration of Catholicism through a meaningful encounter with Père Etienne, a priest who profoundly impacts her search for peace.
