In the end his misfortunes touched her; she grew to love him. He was a small thin man, with a yellow face, and curls combed forward on his forehead. He spoke in a thin tenor; as he talked his mouth worked on one side, and there was always an expression of despair on his face; yet he aroused a deep and genuine affection in her.

He was a key figure of early modernism in the theatre and also wrote hundreds of short stories, while working in his profession as a medical doctor. \"The Darling,\" the title story of this collection, was first published in 1899 in the magazine, \u003cem\u003eSemya \u003c\/em\u003e(Family), in Moscow. The story follows the life of a woman who is referred to by others as \"darling\" for her generosity and submissive nature. Everyone calls her \"The Darling\" because she is generous and supportive; which is seen by adults in the community as a positive trait. However, she is trapped in a cycle of co-dependency. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitle Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTranslation by Constance C.
