"I heard you, Sergei Ivanich—right away," unhurriedly but respectfully responded Simeon, and, bending down and letting out a grunt, resoundingly drew the cork out of the neck of the bottle.
"It's the first time I hear of cognac being served in Yama," uttered Lichonin with amazement. "No matter how much I asked, they always refused me."
"Perhaps Sergei Ivanich knows some sort of magic word," jested Ramses.
"Or is held here in an especially honoured state?" Boris Sobashnikov put in pointedly, with emphasis.

Удивительное произведение. В нем сочетаются трогательность и цинизм.

După cum știți, programul școlar în literatură a stricat atitudinea multor elevi față de autorii clasici, în special față de cei ruși. Sunt doar una dintre cei: care preiau majoritatea lucrărilor cu prudență. Dar Kuprin este singurul clasic care nu numai

Groapa cu fete nu este cea mai veselă carte; e de un realism izbitor, reprezentând omul și locul său în societate din perspectiva unor valori deseori impuse de circumstanțe. În strada Yamskaya
orice urmă de umanitate dispare, rămânând doar măști vesele și triste ce joacă roluri demult împărțite într-
Such a powerful novel!! It saddens me that so few people have even heard of this novel and of Kuprin.
'Yama: The Pit' tells about a brothel in Tsarist Russia, and, yes, it's damn depressing, but at the same time written with such honesty, care and beauty, that I think only a Russian classic can must
