The opening of the collection introduces the protagonist, who recounts an extraordinary
experience attending an exorcism in Moscow, an event requiring luck and special connections to witness. The narrator, a young nobleman, reflects on his family background and the influence of his mother, prompting him to visit his influential uncle.
