An edition from the Kaleidoscope Lite series. Printed in 12pt type with wide line spacing for maximum readability. Unabridged. Modern translation. The publication is supplemented with an annotation that examines ten interesting facts about Ivan Bunin.
The plot centers on the trial of a young hussar, Alexander Yelagin, who shot his beloved, the actress Maria Sosnovskaya. The narrative is presented from the perspective of a court observer who attempts to unravel the complex relationship between the protagonists through their letters and witness testimony.
Before the court unfolds a story of a morbid, exalted love, saturated with theatricality and a longing for death. Sosnovskaya, disillusioned with life, begs Yelagin to kill her, turning their bond into a bloody ritual.
