Chapter
THE BEAUTIES
The Beauties opens with a recollection set under the harsh sun of the Don region, where everything appears lifeless except for a memory the narrator has never forgotten. As a boy, he traveled with his grandfather and stopped in a quiet Armenian village. Among the dusty paths and tired animals, a striking girl named Masha stood out like a vision. She did not speak much, nor did she try to attract attention, yet her presence made the world slow down. Her beauty stirred something deeper than admiration—it…-

THE HEAD-GARDENER’S STORY
The Head-Gardener’s Story begins in a quiet greenhouse on a gentle April morning, where an auction draws together a few gentlemen amid a sea of fresh blooms. A timber merchant, a nobleman, and the narrator exchange remarks about plants, legal matters, and society. Amid them stands Mihail Karlovitch, the self-assured and somewhat eccentric gardener who, though alone in his post, refers to himself with pride as the head of a nonexistent staff. He listens with a quiet eagerness, hoping someone might share…-

THE BET
The Bet begins on a cool autumn evening, where a lively party sparks a heated discussion about capital punishment. Most guests agree that life imprisonment is more humane than execution, viewing the latter as too final and cruel. The banker, however, stands apart, believing that death is a kinder option than a lifetime in a cell, which he sees as slow torture. This clash of beliefs prompts a bold challenge when a young lawyer claims he would rather live in prison than die. In a moment of impulsive pride,…-

PANIC FEARS
Panic Fears begins with a deeply atmospheric account that unsettles the senses and stirs the imagination. On a warm and silent July night, the narrator travels down a lonely country road to fetch the evening's newspapers. The world feels hushed, suspended in a strange kind of stillness, when suddenly he spots a flickering light on the village belfry—a light that defies explanation. There is no practical reason for it to be lit, no recent events that would account for it. His mind races to rationalize…-

Chapter
IN THE COACH-HOUSE
In the Coach-House opens with the gentle creak of old wheels and the hushed tones of men passing time with cards while the estate sleeps. The soft rustle of sleigh harnesses and flicker of oil lanterns offer the only light in the otherwise dim, dust-scented air. Stepan, the coachman, presides over the game while Mihailo the porter brings news from the main house—news sharp enough to still hands mid-play. A tenant has died by his own hand. The details trickle in like cold air through the wooden beams.…-

THE REQUIEM
The Requiem begins with a quiet moment in the village church after the final echo of the choir fades, leaving only Andrey Andreyitch behind. While others have already gone, his presence feels out of place, wrapped more in habit than in reverence. Dressed meticulously in clean, fine clothing, he does not appear as a grieving father, but rather as someone fulfilling a duty. Father Grigory’s approach breaks the stillness with sharp words, confronting the offensive phrasing in a prayer slip Andrey…-

SMALL FRY
Small Fry begins with Nevyrazimov hunched over his desk, trying to compose a simple Easter greeting while the room offers him nothing but the sound of footsteps and the scuttling of a cockroach. The quiet around him is not peace but a kind of dull weight pressing against his spirit. He knows that beyond the walls, the world is full of light, church bells, and people in motion, all caught up in the warmth of celebration. His pen moves slowly, as though even his thoughts are stuck in the same dull loop as…-

ON OFFICIAL DUTY
"On Official Duty" begins with a quiet yet telling moment: a constable with a kind smile assures the examining magistrate that everything has followed procedure. His smile, modest and tired, speaks of a desire to be seen as dutiful, as someone who has done his part with care. When the sledge departs through a familiar landscape of snow-laden roads and dim forest outlines, a strange heaviness settles over the magistrate and the accompanying doctor. Although the snowstorm has passed, the silence now carries…-
