On self-help for the wounded in a battle line
In our fiction, soon after the last Russian-Turkish Campania, there was a short story of Garshin with the title "4 days". In this story, very talented, in a rather lively colour, with stunning realism, a sad picture is reproduced of the psychological and physical suffering of wounded Ivanov, lying in the bushes after one clash with the Turks, 4 days, waiting for any medical help. The vivid strokes of this truthful and artistic story make a very depressing impression on every reader. But these impressed touches are undoubtedly even deeper into the soul and heart of everyone, when one thinks that the suffering hero of this story is only a faint hint, a pale reflection of that sad reality, those stunning horrors that are seen on the battlefield.
