Snowdrops is a tale of an Englishman abroad. Nick is a thirty-something lawyer working in Moscow to broker huge deals between banks, oil companies and property developers. His project on a major loan to a subsidiary of an energy company is underway, and meanwhile, he comes across an enchanting girl, Masha and soon becomes involved with Masha ’s world, psycho-logically. This thesis tries to analyze the tension of the conflict between the corrupted native and the na?ve foreigner, and the so-phisticated disposition of the narrator and the other innocent part. And thorough analyzing the tension reflected from other char-acters, the reason for Nick’s tragedy is revealed.
