Invitation to a Night of a Narrow Escape and a Nihilist
A narrator recalls being invited to a dinner at Frile Semmelbrodt’s house after receiving a death defying invitation. Amid coffee, cigars, and a dramatic confession, the guest recounts a tense journey with a nihilist on a Russian train who threatened to blow up the car. The narrator dodges death by leaping from the train, later learned to be a near-miss scare, and the group honors the misadventure with a toast to the brave stranger’s sacrifice.
