The Post
The Post begins on a frostbitten evening as two unlikely companions prepare to depart through a sleeping town—one bound by duty, the other by schedule. The postman, wrapped in layers of coarse uniform and holding a dented sword more symbolic than practical, takes on the responsibility of delivering not just mail but a token of human warmth: a parcel and the greetings of someone too distant to speak in person. He is joined by a university student, not through friendship but by arrangement, setting the…-

To the villagers, the villa’s loud fireworks and glowing Bengal lights seem like needless extravagance that disrupts their quiet routines.

Chapter XVII opens in the village of Obrutchanovo, where once the arrival of the engineer’s family brought a burst of curiosity and a glimmer of change.

Yet over the years, that bridge became just another feature, blending into the daily scenery. The villagers, once eager to engage or observe, grew indifferent, their excitement dulled by familiarity and the routine of…

Dreams
Dreams opens on a quiet road where two constables, Andrey Ptaha and Nikandr Sapozhnikov, accompany a nameless tramp toward the district town. The air is thick with dampness, and the path stretches endlessly, surrounded by fog and soft mud. Ptaha, lively and talkative, takes a lighthearted approach to the journey, attempting to draw out stories or laughter. Sapozhnikov, by contrast, walks in silence, his tall frame and solemn face resembling an icon painted in an old church. Their prisoner is not what one…-

The Pipe
The Pipe opens with Meliton Shishkin stepping out of the woods, damp from the morning mist and weighed down by weariness, his loyal dog Damka trailing behind. The sky hangs low and grey, painting the landscape in dull tones that echo the heaviness in Meliton’s thoughts. As he walks, the faint sound of a pipe reaches his ears—a mournful, hollow melody played by an old shepherd watching over his flock. The shepherd’s music seems to echo more than just solitude; it carries a quiet lament for a world…-
