Apie šią garsinę knygą
Three men, Mihailo the porter, Nikandr the fish merchant, and Stepan the coachman, sit around a table in the coach-house playing a game of “kings” with Stepan’s eight-year old grandson, Alyoshka. While each card player competitively tries to win the coveted position of “king” in the game, a more serious atmosphere casts a sad shadow over the estate in which the coach-house is situated. The man of the house, for whom the porter and coachman work, has attempted suicide, and he lies in the estate house struggling somewhere between life and death. Although the card game had been light-hearted, the exit of the doctors, for whom the porter must open the door, turns the card players’ conversation to the religious implications of suicide, which Nikandr relates in a similar experience he had. The ghostly ramifications in Nikandr’s story frighten young Alyoshka, whose fright becomes worse when the men learn the fate of their boss.
