Summary
Dr Ragin, who runs a shabby provincial hospital and prefers philosophising to curing, falls into long talks with a patient in the madhouse ward. Chekhov's longest story turns the doctor's detached calm into a grim test of his own beliefs. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.
