The Diary of a Superfluous Man (Russian: «Дневник лишнего человека», Dnevník líshnego chelovéka) is an 1850 novella by the Russian author Ivan Turgenev. It is written in the first person in the form of a diary by a man, Tchulkaturin, who, though only 31 years old, is dying of an unspecified illness and has only a few days left to live as he recounts incidents of his life. The story has become the archetype for the Russian literary concept of the superfluous man.[1][2] It was first published in 1850 in the Saint Petersburg literary magazine Otechestvennye Zapiski.
