A Red Flower: A Story is a short story written by Vsevolod Garshin and first published in 1911. The story follows the life of a young boy named Vanya, who lives in a small village with his mother and grandfather. Vanya is fascinated by the world around him and spends his days exploring the countryside, picking flowers, and dreaming of adventure.One day, Vanya discovers a beautiful red flower in the woods and becomes obsessed with it. He spends all his time searching for more of these flowers, neglecting his chores and responsibilities. His mother and grandfather become increasingly worried about his behavior and try to intervene, but Vanya is too consumed by his obsession to listen.As Vanya's obsession grows, he begins to lose touch with reality and becomes increasingly isolated from his family and friends. Eventually, his obsession leads to tragedy, and Vanya's life is changed forever.Through the story of Vanya's obsession with the red flower, Garshin explores themes of obsession, isolation, and the dangers of losing touch with reality. The story is a poignant and haunting reminder of the power of obsession and the importance of staying grounded in reality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
