Кроткая (The Gentle Spirit)

ebook

От безденежья девушка решает выйти замуж за человека, которого она не только не любила, но и презирала его и его род занятий. Кроткая пытается взбунтоваться против такой жизни и против своего мужа, которого она даже была намерена убить, чтобы прекратить человеческие мучения: не только свои, но и тех людей, которые были зависимы от него, которые закладывали своё последнее имущество за копейки под большой процент.

Can too much love be fatal? You are about to find out in this exquisite psychological drama between the owner of a pawnshop and his wife. The narrator's marriage started out cordially enough, but his miserly and reserved ways are taxing to his young wife. A dearth of communication and disagreements about how the pawnshop should be run result in arguments, though the narrator insists that they never quarrelled. One fine morning the narrator opens his eyes to see that his wife is standing over him with the revolver pointed at his temple.
