The Enchanted Wanderer is a Russian equivalent of Candide (Voltaire's great satire) with a revolutionary edge, a picaresque that features a fast-talking monk named Ivan who is at war, it seems, with every single level of society. Working as a carriage man for a Count, Ivan accidentally causes the death of a monk, which leads to his being ostracized by the local peasantry. Until the dead monk returns as a ghost to guide him through trouble after trouble.
