Brief description "Stationmaster" A.S. Pushkin
The cycle of Belkin's novels, written by Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin, contains several interesting and informative stories. One such work is the "Stationmaster." Pushkin, whose short content of creativity allows him to see the talent of the great writer, devoted this story to the difficult fate of all station supervisors, and also highlighted the relationship between parents and children.
The narrator once caught a bad weather on the way, and he decided to stop at the nearest station. At the owner he asked permission to change clothes, drink tea and sit out the rain. The supervisor turned out to be a good-natured person, he lived with his beautiful daughter, who was at that time about 14 years old, called her Dunya. The girl was busy on the au pair, she set the table. The guest dined with the host and Dunya, a casual conversation was conducted at the table, then the horses were handed in and the narrator left the new friends.
The summary of the "Stationmaster" carries the reader to several years in advance, when the narrator again passes through the same province and decides to call on old acquaintances. He finds only the caretaker, who has turned from a good-natured man into a sullen and sullen old man, his cottage has become dilapidated and not well-groomed. On all questions about Dunya, the man just kept silent, but he managed to talk over a glass of punch.
Samson went to Petersburg in search of Dunya. He found a hussar, but he said that he loved the girl, she would be fine with him. To get rid of their father, he even offered money, but the caretaker threw them out. Through the time Samson tracked down where his daughter lives. When meeting Dunya fainted, and the hussar simply put him out the door. After that, the father did not make any attempts to return his daughter.
Pushkin in the story "Stationmaster" raised the theme of "a little man", so that the reader could understand the fate of ordinary people, penetrate into their inner world, to know the soul of these unfortunates. Even such insignificant, it would seem, personalities are worthy of compassion and understanding.
