THE HUNTSMAN
On a sweltering midday, with the sky cloudless and the land baked under the relentless sun, Yegor Vlassitch, a forty-year-old huntsman dressed in a red shirt and patched trousers, meandered along the edge of a forest clearing. The serene silence of the day was broken when Pelagea, a pale-faced woman wielding a sickle and displaying a tentative smile, called out to him from seemingly nowhere. She revealed that she was working in the fields as a laborer, prompting a brief conversation between the two, who…-

I -The witch and other Stories
In the introductory chapter of "In the Ravine," the setting unfolds in the small, inconspicuous village of Ukleevo, remembered mostly for a minor, yet oddly significant event involving a deacon and an excessive indulgence in caviare at a funeral. This seemingly trivial tale underscores the village's lack of noteworthy events and possibly a commentary on the mundane or the simplicity of rural life. The village, plagued by fever and environmental degradation due to its proximity to cotton factories and a…-

III -The witch and other Stories
No one kept order, and it seemed that disorder was part of the programme. And as always happens when people do not know what to do, they begin eating, drinking, swearing, and shouting. The wedding of Anisim and Varvara as described in the text is a vivid illustration of traditional and, to some extent, stereotypical village festivities in Russia, marked by an abundance of food, drink, and a blend of joy and melancholy. Anisim, the groom, appears disconnected and passive, marrying more out of duty and…-
