Alexander Shirvanzade's short novel "The Fire" is a powerful example of Armenian classical realism. Set in late 19th-century Moscow among students, it explores the conflict between the individual and society, moral nobility, and human baseness. The book depicts the internal struggle and self-destruction of a sensitive soul fighting against unjust social prejudices and betrayal.
