| Summary | "Turha voitto: Kertomus" by Anton Pavlovich Chekhov is a short story likely written in the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around Zwiebusch and his daughter Ilka Koiranhammas as they venture to the park of Count Goldaugen, reflecting on their struggles as traveling musicians. The core of the story delves into their challenging existence amidst a backdrop of social inequalities and personal aspirations. The opening of the story paints a vivid setting where the characters endure the oppressive heat while traversing a dusty road towards the park. Zwiebusch, a heavyset and sweaty man, engages his daughter in conversation filled with both humor and sorrow over their plight. As the duo contemplates their future while they play music for a living, Zwiebusch’s optimistic banter contrasts with Ilka’s deeper thoughts on their life’s struggles and ambitions. The initial encounter with the count leads to a dramatic turn when a confrontation reveals the harshness of their reality, setting the stage for their further interactions and the challenges they face in seeking recognition and nurturing their dreams amid societal contempt.
