This 1938 edition presents a collection of short stories by Vsevolod Garshin (1855–1888), a prominent Russian writer of the late 19th century known for his psychologically intense and deeply moral tales. Published by the state literary publisher "Khudozhestvennaya Literatura," the volume was prepared by Boris Grossman, who provided a preface, editorial work, and annotations, framing Garshin's work within the Soviet literary canon. The book's reduced format and publisher's binding are characteristic of the mass-produced yet durable editions intended for wide circulation during the late 1930s. As a pre-war publication, it represents the Soviet-era republication and reinterpretation of classical Russian literature, making Garshin's stories accessible to a new generation of readers.
