Produced by Marc D'Hooghe (Images generously made available by the Internet Archive.) "The Old House and Other Tales" by Fyodor Sologub is a collection of short stories likely written in the late 19th century. The tales explore themes of memory, loss, and the inner workings of human emotions, often through fanciful yet realistic narratives. The titular story, "The Old House," delves into the lives of a grieving family, particularly focusing on the character Natasha as she navigates her longing and nostalgic memories of her deceased brother, Borya. The beginning of "The Old House" introduces an old manor where Natasha lives with her mother and grandmother, who are collectively mourning Borya's death. The narrative paints a picture of the house filled with memories and sorrow, detailing the daily lives of the women as they cycle through emotions entwined with both the beauty of nature and the burden of grief. Natasha's hopeful yet painful anticipation of Borya's return creates a poignant atmosphere, setting the stage for the exploration of family bonds and the complexities of memory that permeate the story. The blend of simplicity in their daily routine and the haunting absence of Borya establishes a reflective tone that resonates throughout the opening.
