The Wonderful Doctor

"God grant that the coming year treats you a little more leniently than this one, and above all - never lose heart," said Doctor Pirogov to the Mertsalov family. Even in the most hopeless moment, when despair deprives one of... the will to live, one must believe in miracles. "From this moment on, a benevolent angel has certainly descended into our family. Everything has changed".
The prose of Alexander Ivanovich Kuprin is characterized by deep psychological insight, attention to detail, and an engaging plot. Despite a rather difficult fate, Kuprin managed to preserve love for life, inexhaustible optimism, and humanity within himself. The story "The Wonderful Doctor" teaches us compassion and responsiveness, and teaches us not to remain indifferent to the grief of others.
