Directory / Lecture notes, cheat sheets Table of contents (expand) Alexander Ivanovich Kuprin 1870-1938 Duel - A Tale (1905) Returning from the parade ground, Lieutenant Romashov thought: "I won't go today: you can't annoy people every day." Every day he stayed with the Nikolaevs until midnight, but in the evening of the next day he again went to this cozy house. "You have received letters from the mistress," Gainan, a cheremis, sincerely attached to Romashov, reported. The letter was from Raisa Alexandrovna Peterson, with whom they had been dirty and boring (and for quite a long time) deceived her husband. The cloying smell of her perfume and the vulgarly playful tone of the letter evoked an unbearable disgust. Half an hour later, embarrassed and annoyed with himself, he knocked on the door of the Nikolaevs. Vladimir Yefimitch was busy. For two years in a row he had failed the exams at the academy, and Alexandra Petrovna, Shurochka, did everything so that the last chance (it was allowed to enter only up to three times) was not missed. Helping her husband to prepare, Shurochka had already mastered the whole program (only ballistics was not given), Volodya was moving very slowly. With Romochka (as she called Romashov), Shurochka began to discuss a newspaper article about fights recently allowed in the army. She sees in them a severe necessity for Russian conditions. Otherwise, a card sharper like Archakovsky or a drunkard like Nazansky will not be brought out among the officers. Romashov did not agree to enlist Nazansky in this company, who said that the ability to love is given, like talent, not to everyone. Once this man was rejected by Shurochka, and her husband hated the lieutenant. This time Romashov stayed by Shurochka's side until they started talking that it was time for bed. ... At the next regimental ball, Romashov plucked up the courage to tell his mistress that it was all over. Petersonikha vowed revenge. And soon Nikolaev began to receive anonymous letters with hints of a special relationship between the second lieutenant and his wife. However, there were enough ill-wishers besides her. Romashov did not allow non-commissioned officers to fight and strongly objected to the "dentists" from among the officers, and promised Captain Plum that he would file a report against him if he allowed the soldiers to be beaten. Romashov and the authorities were dissatisfied. In addition, money was getting worse, and the barman was no longer lending even cigarettes. The soul was bad because of the feeling of boredom, the meaninglessness of service and loneliness. At the end of April, Romashov received a note from Alexandra Petrovna. She reminded of their common name day (Queen Alexandra and her faithful knight George). Having borrowed money from Lieutenant Colonel Rafalsky, Romashov bought perfume and at five o'clock was already at the Nikolaevs, the picnic turned out to be noisy. Romashov sat next to Shurochka, almost did not listen to Osadchy's rantings, toasts and flat jokes of the officers, experiencing a strange state, similar to a dream. His hand sometimes touched Shurochka's hand, but neither he nor she looked at each other. Nikolaev, it seems, was dissatisfied. After the feast, Romashov wandered into the grove. Footsteps were heard behind. It was Shurochka. They sat down on the grass. "I'm in love with you today," she admitted. Romochka appeared to her in a dream, and she terribly wanted to see him. He began to kiss her dress: "Sasha ... I love you ..." She admitted that she was worried about his closeness, but why is he so miserable. They have common thoughts, desires, but she must abandon him. Shurochka got up: let's go, they'll miss us. On the way, she suddenly asked him not to visit them again: her husband was besieged by anonymous letters. In mid-May, a review took place. The corps commander drove around the companies lined up on the parade ground, looked at how they marched, how they performed rifle techniques and reorganized to repel unexpected cavalry attacks, and was dissatisfied. Only the fifth company of Captain Stelkovsky, where they did not torture with steps and did not steal from the common cauldron, deserved praise. The most terrible thing happened during the ceremonial march. Even at the beginning of the review, Romashov seemed to be picked up by some kind of joyful wave, he seemed to feel like a particle of some formidable force. And now, walking ahead of his half-company, he felt himself the object of general admiration. Shouts from behind made him turn around and turn pale. The formation was mixed up - and it was precisely because he, Lieutenant Romashov, ascending in his dreams to the heavens, all this time shifted from the center of the ranks to the right flank. Instead of delight, public disgrace fell on his lot. To this was added an explanation with Nikolaev, who demanded that everything be done to stop the flow of anonymous letters, and also not to visit their house. Going through what had happened in his memory, Romashov imperceptibly reached the railroad track and in the darkness made out the soldier Khlebnikov, the subject of bullying and ridicule in the company. "You wanted to kill yourself?" - he asked Khlebnikov, and the soldier, choking with sobs, told that they beat him, laughed, the platoon commander extorted money, and where to get it. And the teaching is beyond his power: from childhood he suffers from a hernia. Romashov suddenly felt his grief so trifling that he embraced Khlebnikov and spoke of the need to endure. From that time on, he understood: the faceless companies and regiments consist of such Khlebnikovs, aching with their grief and having their own fate. The forced distance from the officer society allowed me to focus on my thoughts and find joy in the very process of the birth of a thought. Romashov saw more and more clearly that there were only three worthy vocations: science, art, and free physical labor. At the end of May, a soldier hanged himself in Osadchy's company. After this incident, unrestrained drunkenness began. At first they drank in the assembly, then they moved to Schleifersha. This is where the scandal erupted. Bek-Agamalov rushed with a saber at those present (“Everyone get out of here!”), And then his anger turned to one of the young ladies, who called him a fool. Romashov intercepted his hand: "Beck, you will not hit a woman, you will be ashamed all your life." The revelry in the regiment continued. Romashov found Osadchy and Nikolaev in the meeting. The latter pretended not to notice him. They sang around. When silence finally reigned, Osadchy suddenly began a memorial service for the suicide, interspersed with dirty curses. Romashov was furious: "I won't allow it! Be silent!" In response, for some reason, already Nikolaev, with a face distorted by anger, shouted to him: "You yourself are a disgrace to the regiment! You and various Nazanskys!" "And what does Nazansky have to do with it? Or do you have reasons to be dissatisfied with him?" Nikolaev swung, but Romashov managed to throw the rest of the beer in his face. On the eve of the meeting of the officers' court of honor, Nikolaev asked the enemy not to mention the name of his wife and anonymous letters. As expected, the court determined that the quarrel could not be ended by reconciliation. Romashov spent most of the day before the duel at Nazansky, who urged him not to shoot. Life is an amazing and unique phenomenon. Is he really so devoted to the military class, does he really believe in the supposedly higher meaning of the army order so that he is ready to put his very existence at stake? In the evening, Romashov found Shurochka at his house. She began to say that she had spent years arranging her husband's career. If Romochka refuses to fight for the sake of her love, then there will still be something dubious about it, and Volodya will almost certainly not be allowed to take the exam. They must certainly shoot, but not one of them must be wounded. The husband knows and agrees. Saying goodbye, she threw her hands around his neck: "We will not see each other again. So we will not be afraid of anything ... Once ... we will take our happiness ..." - and pressed her hot lips to his mouth. ... In an official report to the regimental commander, Staff Captain Dietz reported the details of the duel between Lieutenant Nikolaev and Lieutenant Romashov. When, on command, the opponents went towards each other, Lieutenant Nikolaev wounded the second lieutenant in the right upper abdomen with a shot, and he died seven minutes later from an internal hemorrhage. Attached to the report was the testimony of a junior doctor in Znoiko. Garnet Bracelet - A Tale (1911) A bundle with a small jewelry case in the name of Princess Vera Nikolaevna Sheina was handed over by the messenger through the maid. The princess reprimanded her, but Dasha said that the messenger immediately ran away, and she did not dare to tear the birthday girl away from the guests. Inside the case was a gold, low-grade puffy bracelet covered with garnets, among which was a small green stone. The letter enclosed in the case contained congratulations on the day of the angel and a request to accept the bracelet that belonged to the great-grandmother. A green stone is a very rare green garnet that communicates the gift of providence and protects men from violent death. The letter ended with the words: "Your obedient servant G.S.Zh. before death and after death." Vera took the bracelet in her hands - inside the stones, alarming dense red living lights lit up. "Just like blood!" she thought as she returned to the living room. Prince Vasily Lvovich was demonstrating at that moment his humorous home album, which had just been opened on the "story" "Princess Vera and the telegraph operator in love." "Better not," she pleaded. But the husband has already begun commenting on his own drawings full of brilliant humor. Here is a girl, named Vera, receives a letter with kissing doves, signed by telegrapher P.P.Zh. Here is young Vasya Shein returning Vera's wedding ring: "I dare not interfere with your happiness, and yet it is my duty to warn you: telegraphers are seductive, but insidious." But Vera marries the handsome Vasya Shein, but the telegraph operator continues to persecute. Here he, disguised as a chimney sweep, enters the boudoir of Princess Vera. Here, having changed clothes, he enters their kitchen as a dishwasher. Here, at last, he is in a lunatic asylum, etc. "Gentlemen, who wants tea?" Vera asked. After tea, the guests began to leave. The old general Anosov, whom Vera and her sister Anna called grandfather, asked the princess to explain what was true in the prince's story. G.S.Z. (and not P.P.Z.) began harassing her with letters two years before her marriage. Obviously, he constantly watched her, knew where she was at the parties, how she was dressed. When Vera, also in writing, asked not to bother her with his persecution, he fell silent about love and limited himself to congratulations on holidays, as well as today, on her name day. The old man was silent. "Maybe it's a maniac? Or maybe, Verochka, it was the kind of love that crossed your life path that women dream of and that men are incapable of more." After the guests left, Vera's husband and her brother Nikolai decided to find an admirer and return the bracelet. The next day they already knew the address of G.S.Zh. It turned out to be a man of about thirty to thirty-five. He did not deny anything and admitted the indecency of his behavior. Finding some understanding and even sympathy in the prince, he explained to him that, alas, he loves his wife and neither deportation nor prison will kill this feeling. Except death. He must confess that he has squandered government money and will be forced to flee the city, so that they will not hear from him again. The next day, in the newspaper, Vera read about the suicide of G. S. Zheltkov, an official of the control chamber, and in the evening the postman brought his letter. Zheltkov wrote that for him all life consisted only in her, in Vera Nikolaevna. It is the love that God rewarded him for something. leaving, he repeats in delight: "Hallowed be thy name." If she remembers him, then let her play the D major part of Beethoven's "Appassionata", he thanks her from the bottom of his heart for the fact that she was his only joy in life. Vera could not help but go to say goodbye to this man. Her husband fully understood her impulse. The face of the person lying in the coffin was serene, as if he had learned a deep secret. Vera raised his head, placed a large red rose under his neck, and kissed him on the forehead. She understood that the love that every woman dreams of had passed her by. Returning home, she found only her college friend, the famous pianist Jenny Reiter. "Play something for me," she asked. And Jenny (oh miracle!) began to play the place in "Appassionata", which Zheltkov indicated in the letter. She listened, and in her mind words were composed, like couplets, ending with a prayer: "Hallowed be thy name." "What happened to you?" asked Jenny, seeing her tears. "... He has forgiven me now. All is well," Vera replied. Authors of the retelling: Slava Yanko, Alexandra Vladimirova << Back: Maxim Gorky 1868-1936 (Bourgeois - Play (1901, published 1902). At the bottom.
