In the 1880s, there was no writer in Russia who enjoyed such universal love as Vsevolod Mikhailovich Garshin. The main characters of his works are people who are sensitive, conscientious to the point of pain, ready to be imbued with someone else's grief and come to the rescue, tormented by the consciousness of their guilt for all the troubles happening in the world. These features of the Russian intelligentsia in the reader's perception are firmly entrenched in the image of the author himself. Garshin was compared with the biblical prophet, apostle, martyr, he was a true symbol of his time.
