A collection of short stories that realistically and patriotically portrays life and events from the period of absolutism and the Bach regime, the military administration, Croatian officers, ordinary people and their fates in difficult times.
The collection leaves an impression of melancholy, but also of the quiet beauty of everyday life.
Young Edek lives with his elderly father who tries to keep his son by his side. The boy's longing for freedom and a girl clashes with his father's possessiveness. The pigeons symbolize unattainable freedom. The conflict leads to a tragic ending.
Between 1892, when "The Fragment", the first novella in this book, was published, and "The Peasant" (1897) and "On the Carts" (1897), A. P. Chekhov made a series of other artistically successful observations of the society in which he lived.
Collections of short stories from Roman life in the post-war era: ordinary people from the people and the petty bourgeoisie – the poor, workers, small craftsmen – face misery, survival, jealousy, petty deceit and moral compromises in everyday life.
