Mumu is a novella by the Russian author Ivan Turgenev. The story is set in 19th century Russia and follows the life of a deaf and mute serf woman named Mumu, who is owned by an aristocratic landowner named Gerasim. Mumu is fiercely loyal to Gerasim and becomes his constant companion, but their happy life is threatened when Gerasim's mother orders him to get rid of Mumu because she is a reminder of his former mistress. Gerasim is torn between his love for Mumu and his duty to his mother, leading to a tragic conclusion. The novella explores themes of love, loyalty, social hierarchy, and the cruelty of serfdom in 19th century Russia.THIS 58 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Stories By Foreign Authors: Turgenev, Poushkin, Gogol And Tolstoi, by Ivan Turgenev.
