Summary "Der kleine Dämon" by Fyodor Sologub is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book explores the life of the discontented schoolteacher Peredonoff as he navigates the social expectations and entanglements of his provincial life, particularly concerning marriage and his relationship with multiple women. The story captures the complexity of desire, social standing, and personal ambition in a seemingly tranquil town. The opening of the novel introduces us to Peredonoff, who finds himself in the aftermath of a church service, mingling with friends who suggest various marriage prospects for him. Though engaged in playful banter, it quickly becomes clear that Peredonoff's true nature is one of insecurity and ambivalence as he contemplates marrying Warwara, with whom he has a troubled relationship. The interactions highlight themes of societal ambition, personal insecurities, and the comedic despair that follows Peredonoff as he unwittingly becomes a pawn in the complicated web of his friends' and prospective brides' ambitions.
