Nevsky Prospekt Gogol: a brief retelling. Nevsky Prospect: Heroes
The outline of the novel "Nevsky Prospekt" appeared when N. Gogol worked on "The Night Before Christmas" in 1831. At that time the writer lived in Petersburg and did not serve for a long time in various state departments. Personal impressions affected the accuracy of the description of the Petersburg landscape and life.
Ode to Nevsky Prospekt
At the beginning of the story, the author gives a fine precise description of the main street of the city. In her description, the lyricist and the satirist are already at a glance. Composing the hymn of street life, and it is described just by the hour, ironically and poeticly, the writer tells who, when and in what mood is walking or running along the beautiful avenue, the main artery of the capital.
Artist Piskarev
They both noticed two beautiful girls and decided to get acquainted. But since the girls went in different directions, the young people also dispersed, catching up with the young beauties. This is how the action takes place.
We continue the brief retelling. Nevsky Prospekt took the artist Piskarev for a very beautiful, as he thought, unearthly brunette. Piskarev - by nature a very delicate and timid person, but NV Gogol generalizes this image. He gives the portrait is not a specific artist, but a person belonging to a particular social group. Such are all the poor artists of Petersburg - they are kind, meek, shy, drink tea to each other and talk quietly, sitting in a small little room.
While Piskarev follows the girl, he wants to see only one thing - where she lives. But she beckoned him to him, and the artist got into the house of tolerance. This is a terrible surprise for the tender heart of the artist, he runs away to his home in horror. So a short retelling goes on. Nevsky Prospekt, with its temptations, will destroy an artist who was not fit for life. At home, he will have an amazing dream that the girl invited him to the ball. And then he will dream about it continuously until he comes to the idea that he should marry a girl and pull her out of the abyss into which she fell. But the beauty is not required. She does not want to live a quiet half-life.
Resume a brief retelling. Nevsky Prospect leads Piskarev home. He locks, and neighbors do not see him. Finally, the door of his room was hacked, and everyone saw that he had committed suicide.
Lieutenant Pirogov
This is a completely different social type, shown by NV Gogol, impudent and unprincipled. This ladies' man began to pursue the blonde he liked. In this part of the "Nevsky Prospekt" - a story about the self-satisfied and impudent Nicholas military. Lieutenant Pirogov goes to the house of German-tinsmith Schiller, to whom his friend Hoffmann is going to cut off his nose. Shiller calculated the money that goes to tobacco, and decided that it is cheaper to live without a nose. Both friends are completely drunk, but they are sober when they see a stranger in their own country. Pies to explain how he got here, says he wants to order new spurs. But, looking almost every day, can not find a fancy blonde one. Finally, he finds out when a husband is not at home, and quietly comes to take care of the pretty wife of a tinsmith. He persuades her to dance with him, hoping that everything will go on by itself.
Conclusion
Such is the story "Nevsky Prospekt". Heroes, Piskarev and Pirogov, very different, and shown by NV Gogol extremely bright. If an artist evokes sympathy, then a self-assured and utterly unscrupulous lieutenant is disgusted. This is a very short story - "Nevsky Prospekt" (Gogol). The content is what the author himself summed up: everything is a deceit and an empty dream, the devil himself shows "everything is not in its present form".
