| Summary | "Päivän koittaessa: Novelli" by Eduard Vilde is a short story written in the early 20th century. The narrative is set at a railway station and delves into the lives of various characters interacting in this tranquil environment, capturing the bustle that accompanies train arrivals and departures. The main character, Andrei Petrowitsch Kurbatow, emerges as a complex figure, a new teacher with a rich backstory and contrasting interactions with the local elite, particularly the Riesemann family. The opening of the story paints a vivid picture of life at the V railway station, where the usual quietness is interrupted only by the arrival of summer vacationers, particularly the well-off Riesemann family. As Kurbatow arrives, he is met with a mixture of curiosity and disdain from the young members of the family, particularly Eberhard, the boy he is set to teach. The dynamics between Kurbatow and the family members, especially during the light banter, reveal underlying tensions and class distinctions. The atmosphere is one of both anticipation and skepticism, setting the stage for Kurbatow's integration into this unique social milieu while highlighting contrasting views on education and authority.
