The Meek One (Readings Classics)

Set in the 19th-century Russia, The Meek One,
also known as A Gentle Spirit, is a retrospective
account of an ill-fated marriage of a pawn-
broker and a teen girl, who, as suggested at
the beginning of the narrative, is now dead.
But, is her death so sudden as it appears from
her husband’s account? Wasn’t she dying
every day in a loveless marriage? A poignant
exploration of human psychology and the
intricacies of relationships, The Meek One is a
timeless work of literature.
