Read Ward No. 6 and Other Stories, 1892–1895 by Anton Chekhov. Peering into madness, Chekhov's Ward No. 6 shatters the line between sanity and delusion, revealing how thin society's veneer of rationality truly is. Through conversations between a doctor and his psychiatric patient, it exposes an unsettling truth: those deemed "insane" often see reality more clearly than their "sane" captors.
