"Easter Eve" by Anton Chekhov tells the story of a man who crosses a river on a ferry to attend Easter services and remember a friend who has recently died. During the crossing, he engages in a conversation with the ferryman, learning about the lives of those who live by the river and their simple, harsh realities. They discuss the deceased, Nyuhin, who was a choir director and a drunkard, reflecting on the duality of his character. The narrative is filled with imagery of the solemnity of the night and the anticipation of the holiday's joy.
