"Krandel Sons" Iron Foundry
Krandel Sons
also: Кранделя сыновья, литейный завод "Кранделя сыновья", Krandel Sons
A fictional iron foundry (литейный завод) near the pond, whose proximity has long since turned the pond water brown; its director is the engineer Krysin. The invented family name "Krandel" (suggesting крендель, "pretzel") and the "Sons" firm-name pattern follow Chekhov's stock convention for comic manufacturing-house names.
Reading notes
- A Fish's Love §1 "Krandel Sons" iron foundry
An invented manufacturing concern named on the "[Surname] Sons" pattern common to real and fictional Russian family firms of the period (compare in "The Teacher"); its industrial runoff, offered as a deadpan realist detail, explains why the pond water is brown even as the carp's love-plot unfolds within it.
