Жизнь человека by Leonid Andreyev
A symbolic, expressionist drama in which a detached figure in grey stages the entire life of an Everyman—from birth through love, sudden wealth and acclaim, to slander, loss, and ruin—revealing how joy and success are swiftly undercut by grief, illness, and death. Through stark, episodic scenes and generic characters, it exposes the caprice of fate, the emptiness of material triumph, and the futility of striving for control over an implacable destiny.
