Summary "Novellen" by N. S. Lěskov is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The work focuses on various aspects of Russian life, culture, and society, exploring the complexities of human nature through intriguing characters and their experiences. Lěskov is known for his vivid portrayals of Russian clergy and common folk, delving into moral dilemmas and social commentary that resonate deeply. The opening of "Novellen" begins with a narrative about a wedding that takes place in a rural village, where the festivities are filled with joy and revelry, highlighting the cultural practices of the time. Amid the merriment, a diacon’s lighthearted dance sparks a conflict with the church's authority, leading to a humorous yet poignant resolution. This initial tale sets the stage for Lěskov’s exploration of societal norms and the often absurd nature of human behavior, while intertwining elements of local lore and character-driven storytelling that promise a rich reading experience throughout the collection.
