Alexander Nikolaevich Tsekhanovich (1862-1897) was a talented Russian writer, a representative of the literary scene of the late 19th century, and the author of numerous short stories and novels that combined elements of everyday life, morality, and engaging plots. He contributed to St. Petersburg newspapers and magazines, but during his lifetime, his works were published only in periodicals and were collected into books after his death. This volume includes two novels: "A Terrible Thing" and "The Secret of a Gloomy House." The novel "A Terrible Thing" tells the story of a large-scale scam and the enigmatic personality of its mastermind-a handsome and powerful hypnotist who controlled the destinies of people. Set against the backdrop of St. Petersburg life at the end of the 19th century, the author creates a gripping plot in which the drama of human passions is combined with themes of crime and psychological influence. The novel "The Secret of the Gloomy House" intertwines villainy and nobility, criminal intrigue and a persistent pursuit of justice. The detective story, replete with unexpected twists, leads to the triumph of reason and honesty-the ideals to which the writer remained faithful. Tsekhanovich's prose combines realism and entertainment, moral subtext and tense intrigue. His novels represent a vibrant and expressive page in pre-revolutionary popular literature, capturing the spirit of the era, the mysteries of human nature, and a fascination with the mysteries of psychological influence.
