About this ebook
Андрей Васильевич Коврин — учёный человек, философ и любитель психологии, едет в деревню поправить душевное здоровье. Он проводит лето в имении своего бывшего опекуна Песоцкого и его дочери Тани. Песоцкий — приземлённый человек, все его мысли заняты садоводством. Для Тани Коврин — как глоток свежего воздуха среди провинциальной жизни. Коврин замечает, что Таня, которую он помнил девочкой, выросла и похорошела. Она привлекает его своей нервной натурой и болезненностью. Его мысли занимает древняя легенда о мираже в виде черного монаха, неизвестно откуда ему известная.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5These two stories are both weightier and more serious affairs than the author's many vignettes of Russian life in his Selected Short Stories. The title story is rather ambiguous and I am not sure if the author is making a specifically anti-religious point (the monk as the instrument of the protagonist's fall in life) or showing simply a generally cynical and pessimistic outlook on life. The protagonist dies of consumption, as did the author. Peasants is a vivid depiction of grinding poverty, starkly unlike the humorous peasant characters in the author's other story vignettes. This culminates in the death of the main character and a horrible line "Far from having any fear of death, Marya was only sorry that it was such a long time coming, and was glad when any of her children died".
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I was intrigued by this, not just as a skillful handling of one man's descent into madness, but the lack of bias in the author's treatment of the situation. Who should we sympathise with? Tanya and her father, long suffering by standers and "victims" of Audrey's behaviour? Or Audrey himself, whose thoroughly delusional yet relatively benign behaviour causes little serious harm and keeps him happy. The drive by Tanya and her father to bring him back to "normality", destroying his genius in the process, seems cruel from his point of view. Their view of his odd behaviour seems understandable from theirs...The quote that stands out for me is when the Black Monk talks of genius and madness: "Nowadays scientists say genius is akin to madness". I suspect the urge t come down on the side of one or the other is futile-and not what Chekhov was wanting for his readers. I think it is more the genius/madness that exists in humanity, which can be delusional, difficult and sometimes damaging, but which is more damaging when "cured". I'm a newbie to Chekhov so I need to read more to make sense of him.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I enjoyed these two stories even though the backdrop is depressing. Both are philosophical and I believe they would be made better if read for a book club or class and discussed. In The Black Monk, my question is, is he crazy?In Peasants, the question is, do situations people are placed in cause them to be unhappy with their lives or is it the individual who ultimately has control of their happiness with outside forces being minimal in that respect.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This is one of those stories that appeals to something, which I haven't a clue because I lack the intellectual tools. I read it on Daily Lit.
