1915. A collection of stories that seem to be tinged with even more
than the ordinary tone of sadness found in the works of Russian
writers. An abstract idea is the germ of each of his tales.
Andreyev's story, Silence, serves as an example of his method: The
silence of the frightened girl, dying with her secret, and of her
mother, stricken, through shock, with paralysis, crushes the pride
of the priest whose training has so stiffened his nature that he
cannot express or welcome affection. He cries for help; he entreats
them to show him pity. His daughter lies dead; his wife motionless.
Contents: The Little Angel; At the Roadside Station; Snapper; The
Lie; An Original; Petka at the Bungalow; Silence; Laughter; The
Friend; In the Basement; The City; The Marseillaise; The Tocsin;
Bargamot and Garaska; and Stepping-Stones.
