"The Glebe 1914/01 (Vol. 1, No. 4): Love of One's Neighbor" by Leonid Andreyev is a dramatic play written during the early 20th century. This work features a compelling narrative set against the backdrop of a mountain scene, exploring themes of human behavior, societal curiosity, and the moral responsibilities inherent in the love of one’s neighbor. The play reflects Andreyev’s keen observations on human nature, framed within a relatively light-hearted yet thought-provoking context. The story unfolds around an unknown man who is perilously situated on a rock ledge, seemingly contemplating suicide. As a diverse crowd gathers below, their reactions range from morbid curiosity to indifference, highlighting various facets of human nature in the face of another's distress. Tourists, policemen, and vendors engage in absurd dialogue revealing their selfish desires and apathy, turning a serious situation into a spectacle. Andreyev cleverly critiques societal norms and the tendency of people to become spectators rather than active participants in helping those in need. Ultimately, the revelation that the entire scenario is a staged event raises poignant questions about empathy and the genuineness of human connections amidst the noise of an entertained crowd.

Reading ease score: 79.5 (7th grade). Fairly easy to read.
