Description

""Mumu"" is a novella by Ivan Turgenev, first published in 1854. The story is set in Russia and revolves around Gerasim, a deaf and mute serf who works for a wealthy landowner, Ivan Petrovich. Gerasim is deeply attached to his pet dog, Mumu, whom he loves more than anything else in the world.One day, Ivan Petrovich's wife, Elizaveta, takes a dislike to Mumu and demands that Gerasim get rid of her. Gerasim is heartbroken but obeys his master's orders, and Mumu is drowned in the river. Gerasim is devastated and becomes withdrawn and melancholy, much to the confusion of those around him.As the story progresses, it becomes clear that Gerasim's attachment to Mumu was the only thing that gave his life meaning and purpose. Without her, he is lost and adrift, unable to communicate with anyone or find joy in anything. The story is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the human need for connection and companionship.""Mumu"" is considered one of Turgenev's finest works and is widely regarded as a masterpiece of Russian literature. It is a powerful and moving story that explores themes of love, loss, and the human condition with great sensitivity and insight.THIS 58 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Stories By Foreign Authors: Turgenev, Poushkin, Gogol And Tolstoi, by Ivan Turgenev.
