Produktbeschreibung
Makar's dream follows a poor peasant in the forests of Yakutsk, grappling with a harsh existence by retreating into imagined visions of peace and spiritual clarity. The narrative begins on Christmas Eve with bitter reflections on poverty and the absence of comfort to ease suffering. Exchanges with others reveal the tension between pride and survival, exposing inner conflict. A venture into the snow captures a yearning for escape and hints at a deeper struggle with self-deception and despair. A collapse in the snow leads to a dreamlike encounter that shifts the narrative from realism to metaphysical reflection, where judgment after death becomes central. The vision explores questions of justice, redemption, and personal responsibility, placing simple actions in contrast with larger forces governing human fate. The story merges earthly suffering with spiritual consequence, positioning an internal world where hardship and hope persist. Through this dream, the reader is drawn into a powerful critique of inequality and a compassionate vision of endurance and moral reckoning.
Autorenporträt
Vladimir Galaktionovich Korolenko was born on July 27, 1853, in Zhytomyr, Ukraine, to Galaktion Afanasyevich Korolenko and Emilia Ivanovna. He became a prominent writer, journalist, and humanitarian whose work often reflected deep empathy for the oppressed and a sharp critique of injustice. After briefly studying in technical institutes, he became involved in political activism, which led to repeated arrests and long periods of exile in Siberia. These harsh experiences deeply influenced his writing, providing the foundation for his stories that explore resilience, suffering, and moral strength. Known for his integrity and courage, Korolenko used his platform to advocate for political prisoners, ethnic minorities, and victims of government oppression. He was outspoken in defending civil rights and was frequently at odds with the authorities, choosing principle over comfort. His best-known works, including The Blind Musician and various short stories, combined vivid descriptions of Russian and Siberian life with a commitment to justice and human dignity. Korolenko died on December 25, 1921, in Poltava, Ukraine, remembered as both a skilled storyteller and a defender of humanity s moral conscience.
