e/Shades (story)

Information
has gloss	eng: "Shades" (Polish: "Cienie") is one of Bolesław Prus shortest micro-stories. Written in 1885, it comes from a several years period of pessimism in the author's life caused partly by the 1883 failure of Nowiny (News), a Warsaw daily that he had been editing less than a year. Prus, the "lamplighter" who had striven to dispel darkness and its attendant "fear, error and crime," had failed to sufficiently interest the public in his "observatory of societal facts," Nowiny.
