Summary "Los espectros: Novelas breves" by Leonid Andreyev is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the theme of madness and the lives of those who exist on the fringes of society, particularly focusing on the interactions and experiences of patients in a psychiatric clinic. Through various characters, the stories explore complex emotions and the thin line between sanity and insanity. The opening of the collection introduces us to Egor Timofeievich Pomerantzev, the deputy head of a local administration office, who has been deemed irrevocably insane. He is sent to a private psychiatric clinic supported by a monetary collection made on his behalf due to his long service record and deteriorating mental state. The atmosphere of the clinic is vividly described, characterized by silence, routine, and the varying behaviors of the patients, including Pomerantzev, who oscillates between moments of lucidity and detachment from reality. The narrative foreshadows the exploration of Pomerantzev's relationship with other patients and the staff, as well as his inner conflicts and delusions, establishing a poignant tone for the stories to come.
