Misery

Book Review

«Misery» by Anton Chekhov is a poignant story about human loneliness and misunderstanding. The main character, cab driver Iona Potapov, who has lost his son, vainly tries to share his pain with those around him but encounters indifference and apathy. Chekhov masterfully conveys an atmosphere of hopelessness and sorrow, using concise and expressive language. Critics note that the story is a vivid example of psychological realism, where every detail serves to reveal the character's inner world. «Misery» is a deep and touching work that prompts reflection on the importance of empathy and human warmth.
