Description

An edition from the 'Golden Tattoo' series. Printed in 12pt type with wide line spacing for maximum readability. Unabridged. Modern translation.

The plot centers on the trial of a young hussar, Alexander Yelagin, who shot his beloved, the actress Maria Sosnovskaya. The narrative is presented from the perspective of a court observer who attempts to unravel the complex relationship between the protagonists through their letters and witness testimony.

Before the court unfolds a story of a morbid, exalted love, saturated with theatricality and a longing for death. Sosnovskaya, disillusioned with life, begs Yelagin to kill her, turning their bond into a bloody ritual.

The finale leaves the question open: was this an act of supreme love and compassion, or a common crime committed under the influence of a momentary madness?
