Summary: "Majurin holhokit" by Vasilii Ivanovich Nemirovich-Danchenko is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative introduces a former military officer, the titular major, who grapples with his changing circumstances as he turns to begging while simultaneously supporting orphaned children. This exploration of themes such as compassion, societal neglect, and personal dignity sets the stage for a poignant story about humanity and moral responsibility. At the start of this novel, the author invites readers into a winter scene at St. Isaac's Cathedral, where a somber atmosphere prevails. The protagonist reflects on the dark and still exterior, contrasting it with the ethereal beauty of the church's interiors, where the presence of worshippers and shadows evokes a sense of mysticism. Soon, he encounters an old major, a recently retired officer now reduced to a state of begging, seeking help in a world that seems poised against him. This chance meeting leads to introspection about generosity, societal roles, and the intertwined fates of the major and those he tries to assist, hinting at deeper interpersonal connections and social commentaries that will unfold as the story progresses.
