Alexander Kuprin is one of the most controversial authors of the 19th century. His works were criticized for "excessive naturalism" and "sentimentality." Now they are considered part of the "golden fund" of Russian classics. In his youth, he tried out dozens of professions, which helped him to thoroughly "study human nature." The characters of his heroes are deep and multi-layered, and he is recognizable for his light style and language on the level of emotions.
The collection of stories "Night Violet" immerses the reader into the everyday life of small provincial towns. Beneath the facade of a measured life, there are intense passions boiling. High ideals are shattered by callousness and self-love, and behind beautiful appearances lie base vices. Love here is not a pure, elevated feeling. No, it clouds the mind, makes the heroes commit reckless acts - and ultimately breaks destinies. No one remains the same. Even if they endure.
The book includes the stories "Loneliness," "Lenochka," "Seasickness," and "Night Violet," as well as the novellas "In the Dark," "Sulamif," and "Holy Love."
