Beschreibung:
The story revolves around a deaf and mute serf named Gerasim, who is well-loved by everyone in his village due to his kind nature and hardworking ways. However, when his mistress orders him to kill a beloved pet dog, Gerasim refuses and instead chooses to flee with the dog in order to protect its life. This simple act of kindness and resistance against cruelty highlights the innate dignity of all human beings and the importance of standing up for what is right. "e;Mumu"e; is a touching and thought-provoking work that illuminates the power of compassion and the struggle for freedom.
Ivan Turgenev's story set on the outskirts of Moscow, in the house of an old widow. Turgenev wrote Mumu with such vivid images and reflections of the state of the tsarist Russia that this piece together with his other stories was credited with having influenced public opinion in favour of the abolition of serfdom in 1861.
