December issue he would certainly find something "Christmas". A classic of this genre was the "Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens, in which the grotesque figure of squalid Scrooge appears - a man with a heart of stone, convinced that it made no sense for the poor to be born at all. However, Dickens the moralist leads Scrooge to an epiphany, turning him into a kind English uncle who believes that the poor and destitute are the same people as himself, and people should be kinder to each other - this will make the world more beautiful and cleaner.

The novel "Agony" is one of the completely forgotten masterpieces of genius of world literature, which we return to the reader with great pleasure.
