The Black Monk, and Other Stories
by Anton Pavlovich Chekhov
Language: English
Content Rating: Older than 17
An ambitious scholar is visited by a radiant monk who promises genius, drawing him toward ecstatic heights and ruin. Around this haunting center, finely cut tales follow doctors, clerks, and peasants at quiet breaking points—love curdling, duty clashing with desire, hope flickering in bleak rooms—revealing how self-deception and sudden grace share a razor-thin border.
