Chapter IV introduces a reflective exchange that pulls back the curtain on the household’s moral underpinnings. Anisim, five days after his wedding, readies himself for departure and chooses to speak with Varvara one last time. Their conversation unfolds slowly under the warm glow of lamps and the faint fragrance of incense, setting a tone that contrasts the weight of their words. Varvara knits quietly, her needles clicking like a metronome to their discourse, and speaks without anger but with…-

Chapter V introduces a moment of deceptive calm where routine and relationships mask deeper undercurrents. Lipa, once weighed down by silence, begins to blossom as the household breathes without Anisim’s tense presence. Her chores, once dull and draining, are now performed with surprising energy, and her worn-out petticoat twirls lightly as she scrubs the stairs and hums. The transformation in her demeanor feels almost like a silent rebellion against the control that once silenced her. Her face, usually…

Chapter VII begins in the thick of emotional and social fallout as the family continues to reel from Anisim’s sentencing. The news spreads quietly through Ukleevo, but the impact strikes loudly inside the Tsybukin household. Old Tsybukin, usually the embodiment of pride and calculation, returns home with a weary gait and a gaze lost in thought, a man dimmed by disgrace. His silence unsettles the household more than any outburst would have. Even Varvara, composed and practical, finds herself uncertain,…

Chapter VII opens with Grigory Petrovitch Tsybukin sitting in quiet contemplation, no longer buoyed by the pride of his wealth. What once brought him respect and admiration now fills him with suspicion, particularly the money he counts each day, which he now fears may be counterfeit. This shift is not rooted in finance alone; it mirrors a growing sense that his life’s work, built through cunning and control, might have been hollow at its core. His grip on authority, once firm, now trembles beneath the…

Chapter VIII begins not with events, but with emotion—a quiet sorrow wrapped in the colors of dusk. Lipa walks alone, having buried her infant son, her path stretched long and silent under a sky turning to ash. The countryside around her pulses with life, yet her grief muffles it all; the birds, the rustling grasses, even the glimmer of stars seem distant. Her loss, recent and raw, is too heavy for sound to penetrate. And yet, she continues walking, not toward a destination, but away from the sharpness…

Chapter IX begins at a moment of quiet devastation, as the household feasts carelessly after young Nikifor’s funeral. The mourners partake in food and chatter as though the grief in the room is no more than background noise. Lipa, whose sorrow is raw and consuming, finally breaks down, only to be dismissed by Aksinya with cold indifference. Her pain is not welcome. The house, once shared in name, now feels entirely alien. Lipa makes her decision to leave for Torguevo, returning to her mother with nothing…

Chapter
The Huntsman
The Huntsman opens beneath a scorching sky, where the heat clings to every surface, and not even a whisper of breeze disturbs the forest edge. Yegor Vlassitch walks with a leisurely stride, dressed in a worn red shirt and patched trousers, his rifle slung across one shoulder. His presence, however casual, holds a weight that disturbs the stillness. From a nearby thicket, Pelagea appears—her frame slight, her face flushed from labor, and her voice timid but tinged with longing. Their meeting feels more…-

Happiness
Happiness begins beneath a quiet sky as vast as the hopes harbored by men living far from cities. The two shepherds, one old and nearly toothless, the other young and alert, sit by their flock through the night, joined by an estate overseer. Together they trade tales—not of sheep or work—but of fortunes hidden in the earth, of magic, curses, and long-forgotten men who once brushed shoulders with the supernatural. These stories, while half-believed, offer more than entertainment; they serve as emotional…-

Chapter
A Malefactor
A Malefactor opens with a quiet, almost comical tension as Denis Grigoryev stands before a magistrate, unaware that his everyday action has landed him in legal trouble. Thin, poorly dressed, and confused by the setting, Denis is a figure straight from the Russian countryside—someone who sees the world through the lens of survival rather than law. His crime? Removing a nut from a railway track to use as a fishing weight. To Denis, this is no more criminal than picking a stone from the roadside. His…-

Chapter I begins with a quiet but heavy journey as Nikolay Tchikildyeev returns to his childhood village of Zhukovo, no longer the man full of ambition he once was. Once a waiter in Moscow, he is now frail and financially defeated, clinging to a thin hope that the village may offer healing or, at least, shelter. With his wife, Olga, and their daughter, Sasha, beside him, the scene they encounter is bleak—crumbling buildings, barefoot children, and a home stripped of dignity. The interior is dark,…
