The Red Flower

A family drama in childhood, participation in the Russo-Turkish War, mental disorder, suicide…

This is how the life of the Russian writer Vsevolod Mikhailovich Garshin (1855–1888) unfolded. In his prose, the author concentrated on the moral and ethical issues that tormented him.

The texts are extraordinarily allegorical and piercing, illuminating the vices of society and painfully confronting reality. «The Red Flower» is one of Garshin's most famous stories.

The main character, obsessed with the idea of eradicating all evil in the world, decides that it is concentrated in the hated red flowers…

The publication also includes other works – «Four Days», «Signal», «Night», «Nadezhda Nikolaevna», «The Tale of the Frog and the Rose», «The Traveling Frog», and others.
