Red Flower

A family drama in childhood, participation in the Russo-Turkish War, mental illness, suicide… This is how the life of the Russian writer Vsevolod Mikhaylovich Garshin (1855–1888) unfolded. In his prose, the author concentrated on the moral and ethical questions that... tormented him. The texts are extremely allegorical and poignant, highlighting the vices of society and painfully confronting reality. "Red Flower" is one of Garshin's most famous stories.
