Thirty-three Misfortunes. Volume 4. The Curtain Falls

Dear reader, it seems that you have overcome all the previous books in the series «Thirty-three Misfortunes», which means you are already guessing that justice in the lives of the Baudelaire orphans is unlikely to triumph. If you still hope that Violet, Klaus, and Sunny will soon uncover the mystery of their parents' disappearance, I hasten to disappoint you. Such stories usually end remarkably horrifically. All we can do is sympathetically watch as the Baudelaires seek answers, first finding themselves on a submarine, then appearing before the Supreme Court, and later experiencing a shipwreck during a storm, yet despite everything, they do not lose faith in a bright future.
Gloomy humorous stories about the adventures of the Baudelaire children have become so popular worldwide that they formed the basis for the film «Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events», starring Jim Carrey, Jude Law, and Meryl Streep. Recently, a Netflix series of the same name was created. The main roles were played by Neil Patrick Harris, Malina Weissman, and Louis Hynes. The latest season debuted in January 2019. The fourth volume «The Curtain Falls» includes the following stories: «The Grim Grotto», «The Second to Last Dilemma», and «The End».
