Summary of the story "The Pit" by A.Kuprin
In the big southern city, two streets - Bolshaya Yamskaya and Malaya Yamskaya – are lined with brothels. These are cheap brothels for soldiers and a diverse audience for fifty kopecks per entrance, and luxurious apartments for Treppel for three rubles, and the cheaper Anna Markovna Shoibes brothel, where pleasures cost two rubles.
The client pool corresponds to the level of the establishment. Students, artists, merchants, officials, cadets are looking for corrupt love from Anna Markovna. The hostess of the institution, portly and spherical, is about sixty years old, she brings up her daughter, a high school student Bertochka, and her old husband accompanies her while dancing.
Anna Markovna has two housekeepers, a cook, a doorman Simeon, who simultaneously performs the functions of a bouncer, and fourteen girls, among whom Zhenya and Tamara are the most striking.
Zhenya is beautiful, independent, and knows how to stand up for herself. Tamara, a former novice at the monastery, has impeccable manners and speaks two foreign languages.
One summer day, the house of corrupt love is visited by a whole company consisting of students, privatdozent Yarchenko and reporter Platonov. The reporter is a frequent guest in the house, but he visits the institution to observe his inner life, he never uses the services of the priestesses of love. Platonov is trying to understand why such a phenomenon as prostitution is indestructible.
Student Lichonin, after moral conversations with Platonov, becomes eager to save at least one of these fallen women. He buys Luba out of the orphanage in order to take care of her and set her on the right path. But she does not cope with the task, and as a result, Lyuba finds herself in a brothel again.
Every evening, when the clients arrive, the girls dress up, put on makeup, and deep down they hope that some gentleman will fall in love with them and pull them out of this nest of debauchery.
Sexually transmitted diseases are an inevitable consequence of prostitution. And although every Saturday an experienced old doctor examines the girls, his Wife manages to hide the infection with a shameful disease. She sets herself the task of infecting up to a dozen and a half clients a day and does not feel the slightest compassion for these "two-legged scoundrels."
But the heart of the desperate avenger trembled when a young cadet Kolya Gladyshev, who had just returned from military training, came to visit her. She confesses her illness to him, and then commits suicide.
On the same day, the brothel passes into the hands of the former housekeeper Emma Eduardovna, and Anna Markovna retires.
Over time, everything in Yamskaya Sloboda falls into disrepair and numerous brothels cease to exist.
The lives of the former residents of the brothel end tragically: Tamara ends up in prison, Pasha goes crazy, and blonde Manka dies during a customer fight. Vera, after a sumptuous feast, decides to pass away with her lover, but he only has the courage to shoot his girlfriend, and only injure himself. Beaucoup de joueurs craignent les exigences de mise.
