Overview

"A Gentle Spirit" sometimes also translated as "The Meek One," is a short story by Fyodor Dostoyevsky in 1876. The piece comes with the subtitle of "A Fantastic Story," and it chronicles the relationship between a pawnbroker and a girl that frequents his shop. The story was inspired by a news report that Dostoyevsky read in April 1876 about the suicide of a seamstress. Dostoyevsky referred to it as a "meek suicide" that "keeps haunting you for a long time."
