"Lilac bush" (Kuprin), a summary - the story of one love

What is the story of Kuprin's Lilac Bush? Of course, about love ... As you know, the theme of love is the main in the work of Alexander Kuprin. The author once again invites the reader to join in reflections on this amazing and infinitely multifaceted feeling. This time in the story "Lilac Bush" (Kuprin, short content read on), love is a glass filled to the brim with clean water. It is transparent, quiet, crystal-clear, without impurities and precipitation. She admires and you want to drink to the bottom. "Unless such happens?" - you ask. It happens. So, the "Lilac Bush" (Kuprin), a brief summary ... Lectures in the military academy were over, and the young bankrupt officer Almazov returns home. Thus begins the story "Lilac Bush" (Kuprin), the brief content of which you are now reading. The shifted brows, the frowning face, the nervously bitten lower lip ... The wife from the first second realized that a misfortune had occurred, but did not immediately alarm him with questions. Perhaps, "the one God and Almazov's wife" knew the back side of the young officer's studies: difficult examinations, failures at admission and even utopianism of the thought itself to enter the Academy. But only she firmly believed in him, supported him in vivacity, instilled in him hope and said that the impossible does not exist. Only she saved and denied herself the most necessary to surround him with the necessary comfort and coziness. And only she was his personal secretary, reader, draftsman and copyist ... It's been five minutes. He was silent and nervously smashed the burnt matches from the ashtray into small pieces. Vera sat down on the back of the chair, gently hugged him and gently led a deliberately unpleasant conversation ... It turns out that the night before he had been working on his drawing - an instrumental survey of the area - and accidentally planted a bright green spot. How to proceed? After all, it is impossible to pass a plan in this form, and he decided to finish the bushes in this place. It turned out excellent and almost not noticeable spot.

However, the professor was a terrible pedant and also a German. He drew attention to the bushes and expressed his confidence that they really did not exist. He knows this area for more than twenty years and is confident in his rightness to one hundred percent. Almazov was ashamed to admit to slovenliness, and he argued with the professor that the bushes "are present" in that place. Tomorrow they go riding together ...

The story "The Lilac Bush" (Kuprin), a brief summary of it, continues to reflect on the main character. What to do? Shame, shame and unprecedented humiliation. Vera quickly got up, ran to the table, then to the chest of drawers. Began to open boxes, some boxes. I got my simple "legacy" - earrings, a ring and a bracelet, put it in a reticule and decidedly said: "Let's go ... if there are not such stupid bushes there, they should be planted immediately" They handed over jewelry to the pawnshop and bought lilac bushes for the money they received, hired workers. At night all the bushes were planted ...

The next day Vera felt restless and restless on her soul. She could not stand it and went out into the street. Seeing from afar the living, bouncing gait of her beloved husband, she realized that in this story they had won. Perhaps now the lilac will forever remain a favorite flower - she thought as they walked along the street together, holding hands and laughing ceaselessly, as if there were no one around, except them ...

Once again I want to recall that this story is called, which A. Kuprin wrote, "Lilac Bush". The content, summarized briefly, can not convey the entire subtlety and depth of feelings of the main characters, so reading the original is simply necessary.
