Vsevolod M. Garshin
Vsevolod Mikhailovich Garshin (Russian: Все́волод Миха́йлович Гáршин); (14 February 1855 – 5 April 1888) was a Russian author of short stories.
In Garshin’s original story, written in the 1880s, Semyon is a veteran of the Russo-Turkish War who takes a job as a railroad track-walker, which means he lives with his family in a hut near railroad tracks and is responsible for maintaining a certain portion of the rails, including such things as clearing away snow in winter. His neighboring track-walker, Vasily, likewise lives in a hut, some six or seven miles away.
