About the author

Vsevolod Garshin (Russian: Всеволод Михайлович Гаршин) is considered one of Russia's masters of short fiction. The son of a wealthy army officer, he served in the last of the Russo-Turkish Wars (1877 to 1878) and wrote his first story, "Four Days" (1877), while recovering from battle wounds. His subsequent stories, which were praised by Ivan Turgenev and Anton Chekhov, often dealt with the subject of evil. Garshin suffered from recurring bouts of mental illness and his masterpiece, "The Scarlet Flower" (1883), was based on his confinement in an asylum. He committed suicide at 33. His collected works were translated into English as The Signal and Other Stories (1912).

Am savurat acest volum de povestiri si am inspirat aerul rece langa o ciocolata calda.
There is no literature like Russian literature-I said it!
Povestiri care te pun pe ganduri, care iti amintesc de copilarie si de lemnele care trosneau in soba, pisicile care dormeau netulburate si cartofii care se coceau pe plita- intr-un cuvant- povesti ce te ung pe suflet☺️.
