"Knock, Knock, Knock and Other Stories" by Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev is a collection of short stories written during the late 19th century. The book introduces the themes of fate, character complexity, and the intricacies of human relationships through various narratives that revolve around compelling individuals, notably focusing on Lieutenant Ilya Tyeglev, who embodies a mix of romantic fatalism and tragic self-awareness in his life experiences. At the start of "Knock, Knock, Knock," we are introduced to the narrator and his reflections on the character of Lieutenant Tyeglev, described as a man marked by a sense of "fatality" despite his ordinary exterior. The opening vignette revisits Tyeglev's past experiences, detailing his ambiguous reputation and unique interactions that hint at deeper emotional currents. As the narrator recalls Tyeglev’s interactions with friends and his own inner complexities, he begins to unravel Tyeglev's heavy heart, ultimately leading up to a mysterious, haunting night where strange knocking sounds begin to echo and lead to deeper revelations about destiny and love, setting a contemplative and eerie tone for the reader.
