Welcome to Litsy!

I ♡ thrift store books I've never heard of n having a 100 yr old story make me think. Chekhov is a fascinating person in his own right. This story shows 2 POV'S of both lower n higher class of people. It exlemplies how a higher class thinking person can find wisdom only he can see in a mentally unstable guy. Asking the age old question how close is insanity to genius? Truly a must read for anyone interested in psychological and philosophy.

Ward six specifically is about life in an asylum. It was also made into films. #insaneinthebrain #90sinJuly

"The fallen angel betrayed God probably because he longed for solitude, of which the angels know nothing."

Ward No. 6, Anton Chekhov

I'm not a huge short story fan, but these were good.
