  • The Siren - Anton Chekhov
    Dec 3 2023

    Strange how powerful is the imagination. It has the capacity to drive us to do the craziest things, to give up our reason, for a moment. In this story, it is only the power of imagination over the appetite, where some well placed words throw away all hope of doing anything else but eat.
