Notes

The second and third part of the novel printed with some interruptions. The novel, which was supposed to finish in 1879, continued to be printed in 1880, and until July 1880 was not in each journal book, and only starting from this month before November - without a break.

Permanent complaints on stretching one novel for two years, in which the publisher's commercial considerations saw, called the following letter from the Dostoevsky printed in the December book "Russian Bulletin" [ the present letter is drilled with an autograph stored in the Pushkin House for the first time published by B. L. Modzalevsky in Zhurn. "Purled" 1919 No. 15 p. 114-115. The autograph has small differences in punctuation from the text of the Russian Bulletin]) (p. 907-908):

Letter to the publisher "Russian Bulletin"

Your Majesty
Mikhail Nikiforovich,

At the beginning of this year, starting to print in the Russian Bulletin of My Roman "Brothers Karamazov", I, remember this, gave you a firm promise to graduate from the same year. But I was counting on my former my forces and for the previous health and was quite convinced that this promise would be restructured. My misfortune happened otherwise: I managed to write only a part of my novel, and the ending it was forced to transfer it to the future 1880s. Even now, for the December book, it did not have time to send anything to the editor, and the ninth book of my story is forced to postpone the January number of the Russian Bulletin of the next year on the January issue of the "Russian Bulletin" of next year, whereas a month, I confidently promised to finish this ninth book in December. And instead I send you only this letter, which I ask to convincingly printed in a respected your journal. This is a letter of my conscience: Let the charges for the unfinished romance, if they are, will fall only on me, and they will not touch the editorial office of the Russian Bulletin, which if I could blame, in this case, another prosecutor, then Emergency delicacy to me as a writer and in constant patient condescension to my weakened health.

By the way, I use the case to correct one mistake, or rather a simple not wonder. Roman My "Brothers Karamazov" I am writing "books." The second part of the novel began with the fourth book. When the sixth book was concluded, I forgot to designate that the second part of the novel ended in the sixth book. Thus, the third part should be considered from the seventh book, and this third part it is that the nine-book book, which was intended for the December number of the "Russian Bulletin" and which I now promise to send certainly for the January number of next year. So for the next year only the fourth and last part of the novel will remain, which I will ask you to start printing from the March (third) book of the Russian Bulletin. This break in one month I am needed again for the same reason: on the weak my health, although I hope, starting from the March book, finish the novel without breaks.

Your promise, expressed at the end of the letter, Dostoevsky fulfilled only in part. The fourth part began from April book, after which a two-month break was followed. Then the novel began to be printed without breaks. The last part (Epilogue) Dostoevsky sent to Journal on November 8, 1880 and it was placed in the November book.

Soon after the end of the novel in the journal Dostoevsky released a separate publication marked by next 1881.

The copyright is noticeable in a separate publication. It is straightened that in the magazine proofreading was not brought to the end. So the doctor named in the journal then Warver (p. 126), then Pervinsky (p. 270), in a separate ed. It is called Varvinsky. Siberian boy (p. 218), named at the end of Roman Kartashov (p. 433), in a separate edition weared everywhere this last name. The age of Kolya and its peers, which in the proofreading process was increased for one year, in the magazine was not everywhere fixed. These remaining facilitated places are straightened in a separate edition.

But besides the work on the correction of the proofreading views, which remained in the journal, there is a cross-cutting stylistic editing that the last chapter of the epilogue has undergone. This work, resembling work on "poor people", is mainly reduced to the destruction of diminutive forms and eliminating some motives (for example, the fact that children we were crying; see page 431 and 432).

Fedor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky

Brothers Karamazov

Dedicated to Anna Grigorievna Dostoevskaya

True, truly telling you: if wheat grain, paders in the ground, will not die, then one will remain; And if it dies, it will bring a lot of fetus.

Gospel from John, Chapter XII, 24.

Starting the lives of my hero, Alexey Fedorovich Karamazova, I am in some perplexity. Namely: Although I call Alexey Fedorovich my hero, but I myself know that he is not great, and therefore, I will foresee the inevitable questions in kind: what is your Alexey Fedorovich, what did you choose him with your hero? What did he do this? Who and what is known? Why am I, reader, should spend time to study the facts of his life?

The last question is the fatal, for I can only answer it: "Maybe you will see from the novel." Well, if you read the novel and do not see, will not agree with the remarkableness of my Alexey Fedorovich? I say that because I will forever offer it. For me, he is notable, but resolutely I doubt whether I will have time to prove it to the reader. The fact is that this is perhaps the figure, but the leader is uncertain, not found out. However, it would be strange to demand at such a time as our clarity. One, perhaps quite undoubtedly: This is a strange person, even an eccentric. But the oddity and extremeness rather harm than they give the right to attention, especially when everyone strives to unite in particular and find at least some common sense in universal expulsion. Chudak in most cases is part and extraction. Is not it?

Now, if you do not agree with this last thesis, and answer: "Not so" or "not always so," then I am probably the spirit on the expense of the hero of my Alexey Fedorovich. For not only the eccentric "not always" is particular and separation, and on the contrary it happens that he is probably the whole core in itself, and the rest of his era - all, in some influx wind, for a while for some reason From him broke out ...

I would not even start into these very unloved and vague explanations and began simply, just without preface: you will like it, so and so read; But the trouble is that my life is one thing, and the novels are two. The main novel is the second, is the activity of my hero in our time, it is in our present current moment. The very first novel occurred even thirteen years ago, and there is almost no novel, but only one moment from the first youth of my hero. It is impossible to do without this first novel, because much in the second novel would become incomprehensible. But in this way, the initial difficulty is still complicated: if I, then, there is a biographer himself, I find that one of the novel could be for such a modest and indefinite hero unnecessary, which is how to appear with two and how to explain this with My part is arrogant?

Losing in the resolution of this issue, I decide to get around without any permission. Of course, the controversial reader has long guess that I had a clone from the very beginning, and only jerked for me, why I will spend free words and precious time. I will answer this in accuracy: I spent fruitless words and precious time, first of the first, from courtesy, and secondly, from tricks: "Still, they say, they warned something in something." But I am even glad that My Roman crashed himself by two stories "with a substantial unity of the whole": having acquainted with the first story, the reader will already determine: is it worth it for the second? Of course, no one is connected by anything, you can throw a book and from two pages of the first story, so that it is not to disclose more. But after all, there are such delicate readers who will certainly wanted to read to the end, so as not to be mistaken in impartial judgment, such as all Russian critics. So, before that, after all, the heart is easier: despite all their accuracy and conscientiousness, after all, I give them the most legitimate pretext to throw a story on the first episode of the novel. Well, that's all the preface. I completely agree that it is superfluous, but since it is already written, then let them remain.

And now to the case.

PART ONE

First book

"The story of one family"

I. Fedor Pavlovich Karamazov.

Alexey Fedorovich Karamazov was the third son of the landowner of our County Fedor Pavlovich Karamazov, so well-known at one time (and now we have been remembered) on the tragic and dark demise of his own, who happened exactly thirteen years ago and which I will inform about in place. Now I will say about this "landlord" (as we called it, although he almost did not live in his estate all his life) only the fact that it was a strange type, quite often, however, it is the type of human type not only grated and depraved, But at the same time, and stupid, but of these however, stupid, who know how to perfectly leake their property divisions, and only they seem to be alone. Fyodor Pavlovich, for example, began almost with anything, the landowner he was the smallest, ran to dine on the strangers, tormented in the carpets, and meanwhile, at the time of the death of him it turned out to be a hundred thousand rubles. And at the same time, he still continued to be all his life to be one of the most stupid Sadsgods around our ug. I repeat: here is not nonsense; Most of these madrods are pretty smart and tricky, - namely a stupid, and even some kind of special, national.

He was married twice and he had three sons, - Senior, Dmitry Fedorovich, from the first spouse, and the rest of two, Ivan and Alexei, from the second. The first wife Fyodor Pavlovich was from the rather rich and noble kind of nobility of the Music, also landowners of our county. How it happened that the girl with dowry, and even beautiful and beyond that of the bobbin smarts, so not rare in our present generation, but they also appeared in the past, could marry such an insignificant "brain", as it was then called , I will not explain too much. After all, I knew one maiden, even in the requested "romantic" generation, which after several years of mysterious love for one Mr., for whom, however, he could always get married in a calmly, cumshots, but the fact that herself had done insurmountable obstacles to the stormy The night rushed from the high shore similar to the cliff to a rather deep and fast river and died in it decisively from his own whims, the only thing about to resemble the Shakespeare Ophelia, and even so that it was this rock, so long ago, it was planned and favor , not so picturesque, and be in his place only a prose flat coast, then suicide may not have happened at all. The fact is true, and it is necessary to think that in our Russian life, in two or three last generations, such or homogeneous facts happened not to any facts. Like the act of Adelaide Ivanovna Mussova, there was no doubt by the echo of other people's trends and also a prisoner thought with irritation. She may wanted to declare women's independence, to go against social conditions, against the despotism of his kinship and the family, and the helpful fantasy convinced her, put it on the moment only that Fyodor Pavlovich, despite his rankman, after all, one of the bold and mourgear People of that transitional to the whole best, era, whereas he was only an angry jester and nothing else. The piquant consisted also in the fact that the case was bye, and this very prevented Adelaide Ivanovna. Fedor Same Pavlovich to all such a passage was even more prepared according to social position, because he passionately wanted to arrange his career, although anything; Mazing to a good family and take the dowry was very tempting. As for mutual love, it does not seem to be at all - neither from the bride, nor on his part, despite even the beautifulness of the Adelaide Ivanovna. So this case could be the only one in his way in the life of Fyodor Pavlovich, a voluptuous man in his entire life, in one moment ready to adversely to some kind of yups, just that he indulged. Meanwhile, one woman did not make any special impression on it from the passionate side.

Adelaide Ivanovna, immediately after the immune, I saw MiG that she only despises her husband and nothing else. Thus, the investigation of marriage was marked with emergency speed. Despite the fact that the family even soon reconciled with the event and allocated a bouquet of the dowry, the most random life and eternal scenes began between the spouses. They said that the young spouse showed that there are incomparably more nobility and hill, rather than Fedor Pavlovich, who, as is known now, subtebral at her, at once, all of her money, up to twenty-five thousand, just she got them, so thousands of thousands These since then resolutely, as it were, they can row for her into the water. The village and a pretty good urban house, who also went to her dowry, he had long tried to translate some suitable act to his name for a long time, and probably achieved that of one of the one to say contempt and disgust He excited in his wife every minute with his shameless extortion and nasaling, from one of her spiritual fatigue, only to be taken away. But the family of Adelaide, Ivanovna, entered happiness and limited Hapugu. It is positively known that there were frequent fights between the spouses, but Fedor Pavlovich was not Bil, and Bila Adelaide Ivanovna, the lady was hot, brave, dim, impatient, gifted by a remarkable physical force. Finally, she threw the house and ran away from Fedor Pavlovich with a seminarist-teacher who died from poverty, leaving Fyodor Pavlovich on the hands of a three-year-old Mitu. Fedor Pavlovich Migom started in the house a whole harem and the most intricate drunkenness, and in the intermission, I almost didn't have much across the province and tearfully complained to everyone Ivanovna who had left His Adelaide, with such details that were too shameful to inform the spouse about his marriage Life. The main thing, it was as if it was nice and even stalling to play before all his funny role of an offended spouse and with gluas even to paint the details about his insult. "Think that you, Fedor Pavlovich, Chin got, so you are satisfied despite all your bitterness," the mockery told him. Many even added that he was glad to appear in the reproductive form of a jester and what was on purpose, to enhance laughter, pretends that he did not notice his comic position. Who knows, however, maybe it was in it and naive. Finally, he managed to open the traces of his runaway. The poor thing was in St. Petersburg, where he moved with his seminarist and where he was completely empty in the most complete emanzipation. Fyodor Pavlovich immediately slammed and began to gather in St. Petersburg, - for what? - He certainly did not know himself. Right, maybe he would then go; But attending such a decision, immediately honored himself in a special right, for cheerfulness, before expensive, to go again to the most vast drunkenness. And at this time, the family of his wife managed to news about her death in St. Petersburg. She somehow suddenly died, somewhere in the attic, in one legends from Tifa, and in others, as if hunger. Fyodor Pavlovich found out about the death of his wife drunk, they say, ran down the street and began to scream, in joy of having arms to the sky: "Now let's let go," and on others we were crying for a little baby and that they say it was a pity even to watch On him, despite all the disgust. It may be very possible that it was both, then-there, that he rejoiced his liberation and cried on the liberator, all together. In most cases, people, even villains, are much naive and ingenious than we conclude about them. Yes, and we ourselves too.

The work of "boys" is the tenth of the fourth part of the novel F. M. Dostoevsky "". On our site you can read summary "Boys" on the chapters to prepare for the lesson of literature or reader's diary:

F. M. Dostoevsky "Boy" summary Tale by chapters:

The gymnasic boy comes to the dying of a serious illness to a friend to make it up with him.

Kolya Krastekn.

The thirty-year widow of the provincial secretary of Krasclotkina lived "his capital" in a small clean house. The husband of this pretty, timid and gentle lady died thirteen years ago. Coming out married at eighteen, she lived in marriage just a year, but he managed to give birth to a son Kohl, who dedicated "all herself."

All childhood mother trembled over his son, and when the boy entered the definition, "I rushed to study with him all the sciences to help him and rehearse with him lessons." Kolya began to tease the "Mamienkin Son", but he had a strong character, and he managed to defend himself.

She studied Kolya well, seeing respect for classmates, did not undertaken, led himself friendly and knew how to restrain his character, especially when communicating with the elders. Kolya was proud, and even the mother managed to subordinate to his will. The widow willingly obeyed his son, but sometimes it seemed to her that the boy was "insensitive" and "she loves her little." She was mistaken - Kolya loved her mother very much, but did not tolerate the "calf tenderness."

From time to time, Kolya loved to fool - how to go and draw. Several books left the father in the house, and the boy "read something, whatever he could still be given to read at his age." This inappropriate reading led to more serious pranks.

Once in the summer, the widow was lucky to visit his girlfriend, the husband of which served at the railway station. There, Kolya argued with local boys, which will fly away motionless under the train carrying on all pairs.

These fifteen years too buried the nose before him and first did not even want to consider him a friend, as a "little", which was already unbearable.

Kolya won the dispute, but lost consciousness when the train was passing over him, what he admitted some time later to death with a frightened Mother. The news about this "feat" flew to the deflection, and the reputation of the "desperate" was finally strengthened.

The boy even gathered to exclude, but the teacher of Dardanelov was interceded for him, loved in Mrs. Krascloth. The grateful widow gave the teacher a little hope for reciprocity, and Kolya began to treat him with respectfulness, although despised Dardanelov for "feelings".

Shortly after that, Kolya dragged to the house to the journal, called it a chime, locked in his room, did not show anyone and diligently taught all the focus.

Devora

Stood frosty November. There was a day off. Kolya wanted to go out "one very important cause," but could not, since everything was separated from the house, and he remained to look after the children, - brother and sister, who loved and called "bubbles."

The children belonged to the neighbor of Beauty, the wife of the doctor who threw the family. The servant of the doctors gathered to give birth, and both ladies were lucky to the obean's grandmother, and Agafia, who served Beauty, was delayed in the bazaar.

The boy has greatly shot the arguments of "bubbles" about where children come from. Brother and sister were afraid to stay at home alone, and Kola had to entertain them - to show them a toy gun, which could shoot, and force the chime to do all sorts of tricks. Finally, Agafya returned, and Kolya departed in his important case, taking with him the chime.

Pupils

Kolya met with the eleven-year-old boy of the Smurovy, the son of a wealthy official who was younger than Krascloth in two classes. The parents of Smurova forbade her son to drive with the "desperate chalub" Beauty, so the boys taught in secret.

Schoolchildren went to their friend Ilyyush Snegirev, who was seriously sick and no longer got out of bed. Alexey Karamazov persuaded the guys visit Ilyush to brighten up his last days.

Kolya surprised that Karamazov was hurt from the baby, when the trouble in his own family was to be judged for his older brother's fatherly. For Krasicna, Alexey was a mysterious person, and the boy dreamed of meeting him.

Boys walked through the marketplace. Kohl declared a smurova that he became a socialist and a supporter of universal equality, then spoke about early frost, to which people were not yet accustomed. People have an all habit, in everything, even in state and in political relations. Habit - main engine.

On the way, Kolya spoke and looked up with men and merchants, stating that he loves to "talk to the people." He even managed to arrange a small scandal on an empty place and confuse the young Customer Guy.

Going to the House of Staff Captain Snegirev, Kolya ordered the Smurovy to call Karamazov, wishing to "sniff" first with him.

Bug

Kohl with excitement was waiting for Karamazov - "Something was in all the stories of Aleshy sympathetic and turmoil." The boy decided not to hit the face to the dirt, show his independence, but was afraid that because of the small growth of Karamazov would not take it as equal.

Alyosha was glad to see Kolya. In Brad, Ilyusha often recalled a friend and suffered very much that he did not come. Kolya told Karamazov as they met. Krastekin noticed Ilyusha when he went to the preparatory class. Odnoklassniki teased the weak boy, but he did not obey and tried to fight them. This dismissed pride liked Kolya, and he took Ilyusha under his defense.

Soon, Krastekin noticed that the boy was too tied to him. Being the enemy of "all sorts of calf tenderness," Kolya began to treat Ilyusha colder thanks to "highlight the nature" of the baby.

One day, Kolya learned that the Karamazov lacquer taught Ilyushu "brutal joke" - to wrap the pin into the breadfish and rape this "treat" a hungry dog. The pole swallowed the homeless bug. Ilyusha was confident that the dog died and very suffering. Kolya decided to take advantage of the Ilyushi remorse and in educational purposes stated that he was no longer talking to him.

Kohl intended to "forgive" Ilyyusha in a few days, but classmates, seeing that he lost to protect the elder, again began to call the father Ilyushi "wash". During one of these "battles", the baby was very beaten. Kohl, who was present at the same time, wanted to stand up for him, but Ilyusha seemed to former friend And the patron is also laughing at him, and he poked in the thigh Beautician a peer knife. On the same day, excited Ilyusha bit the limit of Alesh's finger. Then the baby is in a challenge. Kohl was very repent, that still did not come to visit him, but he had his own reasons.

Ilyusha decided that God had punished his disease for killing a bug. Snegirev with the guys searched the whole city, but did not find the dog. Everyone hoped that the bug would find Kolya, but he stated that he was not going to do this.

Before entering Ilyushe, Kolya asked Karamazov, which is the father of the boy, headquarters-captain of Snegirev. He was counted in the city.

There are people deeply feeling, but somehow attached. They seem to have an evil irony on those who are in the eyes they do not dare to say the truth from a long-term humiliating timidity before them.

Snegirev adored his son. Alyosha was afraid that after the death of Ilyushi Snegirov will be crazy or from grief "will deprive himself life."

Proud Kolya feared that the guys were painted by the Karamazov of Nesbylitsa. For example, they said that he plays with the kids in the "Cossacks-Robbers". But Alyosha did not see anything bad in it, considering the game "the emerging need of art in the young soul." Soothed Kolya promised to show a certain "presentation".

Ilyushina lining

The close and poor room of the downtime was full of guys from the deflection. Alexey unobtrusively, one after another, born them with Ilyusha, hoping to alleviate the suffering of the boy. He could not approach the independent Beautyna, who stated the Smurov sent to him that he had "his calculation", and he himself knows when to go to the sick.

Ilyusha lay in bed under the images, his lifeless sister and "Failed Mama" was sitting nearby - a half-sized woman, a behavior resembling a child. Since Ilyusha fell ill, the captain's headquarters almost threw a drink and even Mama became silent and thoughtful.

Schooling in every way tried to cheer his son. Occasionally he ran out in Seni and "began to cry somehow a blurred, shocking." And Snegirev, and Mama rejoiced when their dwelling was filled with children's laughter.

Recently, the domestic domestic began to help the rich mapping of Katerina Ivanovna. She gave money and paid the doctor's regular visits, and headquarters-captain "forgot his former Honor and humbly accepted the challenge." So today they expected the famous doctor from Moscow, whom Katerina Ivanovna asked to see Ilyusha.

Kolya was amazed at how Ilyusha changed for some two months.

He could not imagine that he could see such a thin and yellowed face, such burning in feverish heat and as if terribly increased eyes, such slender handles.

Sit down to the bed of a friend, Kolya ruthlessly reminded him of the cigent bug, not noticing that Alyosha negatively shakes his head. Then Smurov opened the door, Kolya whistled, and a chime ran into the room, in which Ilyusha recognized the bug.

Kohl told how a dog was looking for a few days, and then the location of her and he taught to different tricks. That is why he did not come to Ilyusha so long. Krasacin did not understand how killed could affect the sick boy such a shock, otherwise I would not throw a "such thing." Probably, only Alexey understood that the patient was dangerous to worry, everyone else was rejoiced that the bug was alive.

Kohl made the chime to show all the learned tricks, and then handed the gun and a book, which was performed specifically for a friend from a classmate. The gun was greatly liked Mama, and Ilyusha generously gave her toy. Then Kolya told the patient all the news, including the recently involved with him.

Walking on the market square, Kolya saw the herd of geese and hit one stupid guy to check whether the wheel of the cart is a goose neck. Goose, of course, died, and the instigators got to the magistrate. He decided that the goose would go to a guy who pay the ruble owner of the bird. The judge went to Kolya, threatening to report to the authorities of the progress.

The important Moscow doctor came here, and the guests had to leave the room for a while.

Early development

Beautykin got the opportunity to talk with Alexey Karamazov alone, in the saint. In an effort to appear to adults and educated, the boy posted him his considerations about God, Voltaire, Belinsky, socialism, medicine, a woman's place in modern society and other things. The thirteen-year-old Kolya believed that God needs "for world order", Voltaire did not believe in God, but "loved mankind," Christ, he live now, would certainly join the revolutionary, and "the woman there is a subordinate creature and must obey."

I am very seriously listening to Kolya, Alyosha was amazed him early Development. It turned out that neither the Voltaire with Belinsky, nor "forbidden literature", except for the sole issue of the journal "Bell", did not really read Krascloth, but he had a hard opinion about everything. In his head, it was a real "porridge" from the discriminated, read too early and to the end of the incomprehensible.

Alesh was sad that this young man who had not yet begun to live was already perverted by "all of these gross nonsense" and too proud, however, like all Russian gymnasists, the main property of which is "no knowledge and self-conceit."

Show you \u003c...\u003e Russian schoolboy the star of the starry sky, which he has not had any idea, and tomorrow will return you this card correctly.

Alyosha believed that Kohl would fix communication with such people as Snegirev. Kohl told Karamazov, as sometimes tormented by his painful pride. Sometimes the boy seems that the whole world laughs over him, and in response, he himself begins to torment others, especially the mother.

Alyosha noted that "the damnity was embodied in it and climbed and climbed into all generation," and advised Kola not to be like everyone else, especially since he is still capable of self-seen. He foresaw for a quiet, but blessed life. Beautykin was admired by Karamazov, especially what he talks to him as equal to him, and hoped for a long friendship.

Ilyusha

While Kolya and Karamazov talked, the metropolitan doctor examined Ilyusha, his sister, Mama and came out in Songy. Krastekin heard the doctor stated that nothing depends on him now, but the life of Ilyushi can be extended if it was not less than a year in Italy. Nimalo is not embarrassed by the surrounding poverty, the doctor advised Snegirev to take a daughter to the Caucasus, and his wife to the Paris psychiatric clinic.

Kohly so angry with a speech of a Chvlyvy doctor, that he grossly spoke to him and called "Lekarem". Alyosh had to shrink on Krasicna. The doctor in anger was flooded with his feet and left, and the headquarters-captain "shook out of silent sobs."

Harding his head with both fists, he began to cry, somehow ridiculously scrubbing, with all his strength, however, so as not to hear his swamp in the hut.

Ilyusha guessed what a verdict made him a doctor. He asked his father after his death to take his other boy, and Kohl - come along with his chime to his grave. Then the dying boy hugged Kolya and his father tightly.

Without sustaining, Krastekin hurkedly said goodbye, jumped out in Songy and cried. Alyosha who found him there took a promise from the boy to come to Ilyush as often as possible.

You have read the summary of the "Boys" Dostoevsky from the novel "Brothers Karamazov".

Dedicated to Anna Grigorievna Dostoevskaya

True, truly telling you: if wheat grain, paders in the ground, will not die, then one will remain; And if it dies, it will bring a lot of fetus.

(Gospel from John, Ch. XII, Art. 24).

Starting the lives of my hero, Alexey Fedorovich Karamazova, I am in some perplexity. Namely: Although I call Alexey Fedorovich by my hero, but, however, I myself know that he is not great, and therefore, I will foresee the inevitable questions like those such: what is your Alexey Fedorovich, what did you choose it with your hero? What did he do this? Who and what is known? Why am I, reader, should spend time to study the facts of his life?

The last question is the fatal, for I can only answer it: "Maybe you will see from the novel." Well, if you read the novel and do not see, will not agree with the remarkableness of my Alexey Fedorovich? I say that because I will forever offer it. For me, he is notable, but resolutely I doubt whether I will have time to prove it to the reader. The fact is that this is perhaps the leader, but the leader is an indefinite, unclear. However, it would be strange to demand at such a time as our, from people of clarity. One, perhaps quite undoubtedly: This is a strange person, even an eccentric. But the oddity and extremeness rather harm than they give the right to attention, especially when everyone strives to unite in particular and find at least some common sense in universal expulsion. Chudak in most cases is part and extraction. Is not it?

Now, if you do not agree with this last thesis and answer: "Not so" or "not always so,", then I, perhaps, I am a spirit about the meaning of the hero of my Alexey Fedorovich. For not only the eccentric "not always" is particular and separation, but on the contrary, it happens that he is, perhaps, and wears other times the core of the whole, and the rest of the people of his era - all, in some influx wind, for a while For some reason, it was cut off ...

I would, however, did not start into these very unloved and vague explanations and began simply, easily without preface: I will like it - so read so much; But the trouble is that my life is one thing, and the novels are two. The main novel The second is the activity of my hero in our time, it is in our present current moment. The very first novel occurred even thirteen years ago, and there is almost no novel, but only one moment from the first youth of my hero. It is impossible to do without this first novel, because much in the second novel would become incomprehensible. But in this way, the initial difficulty is still complicated: if I, that is, the biographer itself, I find that one of the novel, maybe it would be too unnecessary and an undefined hero, then what is the same with two and how to explain such For my part of arrogance?

Losing in the resolution of this issue, I decide to get around without any permission. Of course, the controversial reader has long guess that I had a clone from the very beginning, and only jerked for me, why I will spend free words and precious time. I will answer this in accuracy: I spent fruitless words and precious time, first, from courtesy, and secondly, from tricks: after all, they say, they warned something like something. However, I am even glad that My Roman crashed himself by two stories "with a substantial unity of the whole": having acquainted with the first story, the reader himself will determine: Is it worth it for the second? Of course, no one is connected by anything; You can throw a book and from two pages of the first story, so that it is not to disclose more. But after all, there are such delicate readers who will certainly want to ensure to the end so as not to be mistaken in impartial judgment; Such, for example, all Russian critics. So before such a thing, after all, the heart is easier: despite all their accuracy and conscientiousness, after all I give them the most legitimate pretext to throw a story on the first episode of the novel. Well, that's all the preface. I completely agree that it is superfluous, but since it is already written, then let them remain.

And now to the case.

The story of one family

Fedor Pavlovich Karamazov

Alexey Fedorovich Karamazov was the third son of the landowner of our County Fedor Pavlovich Karamazov, so well-known at one time (and now we have been remembered) on the tragic and dark demise of his own, who happened exactly thirteen years ago and which I will inform about in place. Now I will tell about this "landlord" (as we called it, although he almost did not live in his estate all his life) only the fact that it was a strange type, quite often, however, it is the type of human type not only a cracked and Depraved, but at the same time stupid, but from such, however, stupid, who know how to perfectly leake their property divisions, and only seem to be alone. Fyodor Pavlovich, for example, began almost with anything, the landowner he was the smallest, ran to dine on the strangers, tormented in the carpets, and meanwhile, at the time of the death of him it turned out to be a hundred thousand rubles. And at the same time, he still continued to be all his life to be one of the most stupid Sadsgods around our ug. I repeat: here is not nonsense; Most of these madrods are pretty smart and tricky, - namely a stupid, and even some kind of special, national.

He was married twice, and he had three sons: senior, Dmitry Fedorovich, from the first spouse, and the rest of two, Ivan and Alexey, from the second. The first wife Fyodor Pavlovich was from the rather rich and noble kind of nobility of the Music, also landowners of our county. How it happened that the girl with dowry, and even beautiful and, moreover, from the bobbin smarts, so often in our present generation, but they also appeared in the past, could marry such a negligible "brain", like all it then Called, to explain too much. After all, I knew one maiden, even in the requested "romantic" generation, which after several years of mysterious love for one Mr., for whom, however, could always get married in a quiet way, finished, but the fact that herself did an insurmountable obstacles and in a rapid night rushed from the high shore, similar to the cliff, in a rather deep and fast river and died resolutely from his own whims, the only thing about to resemble the Shakespeare Ophelia, and even so be this cliff, So long ago, it was planned and favorite, not so picturesque, and be in his place only a prose flat coast, then suicide, maybe it would not have happened at all. This is true, and it is necessary to think that in our Russian life, in two or three last generations, such or homogeneous facts happened to the facts. Like the act of Adelaide Ivanovna Mussova, there was no doubt by the echo of other people's trends and also a prisoner thought with irritation. She may have wanted to declare women's independence, to go against social conditions, against the despotism of his kinship and the family, and helpful fantasy convinced her, put it on the moment only that Fyodor Pavlovich, despite his rankman, after all, one of Bold and mocking people of that transition to the whole best, the epoch, whereas he was only an evil jester, and nothing else. The piquant consisted also in the fact that the case was bye, and this very prevented Adelaide Ivanovna. Fyodor Same Pavlovich on all such passes was even more prepared according to social position, because it was passionately wanted to arrange his career, although anything; Mazing to a good family and take the dowry was very tempting. As for mutual love, it does not seem to be at all - neither from the bride, nor on his part, despite even the beautifulness of the Adelaide Ivanovna. So this case was, maybe the only one in its kind in the life of Fyodor Pavlovich, a voluptuous man in his entire lives, in one moment ready to adversely to any kind of skirt, just that he indulged. Meanwhile, one woman did not make any special impression on it from the passionate side.

Boys

I.
Kolya Krastekn.

November at the beginning. We have become frost degrees in eleven, and with him an ice. A little dry snow fell on the night of the earth, and the wind "dry and sharp" raises him and swears on the boring streets of our town and especially in the market square. Morning muddy, but stopped the snowball. Not far from the square, nearby carpenter shop, there is a small, very clean and outside and covered the house of the widow of an official Beauty. The provincial secretary himself, Krastekin died for a very long time ago, for almost fourteen years ago, but his widow, thirty-year-old and still quite cubs his lady, alive and lives in his clean house "his capital". She lives honestly and timidly, the nature of gentle, but quite fun. She was left after her husband for years of eighteen, living with him just about a year and just giving birth to him. Since then, with his very death, she devoted all her boyfriend to the upbringing of this sickness, and at least loved him all fourteen years without memory, but, of course, he suffered incomparably more suffering than survived joys, trembling and dying from The fear is almost every day that he will get sick, caught up, nasoid, climbs on the chair and fall, and so on., and so on. When Kolya began to go to school and then in our deflection, then the mother rushed to study all the sciences with him to help him and rehearse with him lessons, rushed to get acquainted with the teachers and with their wives, caressed even his comrades, schoolchildren, and Lisila Before them, so as not to touch Kolya, they did not mock him, did not knit it. I brought to the fact that the boys in fact began to mock her over him and began to tease him because he was Mamienekin Son. But the boy managed to defend himself. He was a bold boy, "terribly strong," as swelling and soon called the Mille about him in the classroom, there was a clever, the nature of the stubborn, the spirit of the bold and enterprising. He studied well, and even gnawed that he and from arithmetic, and from world History Teacher Dardanelova himself. But, though the boy looked at all down, pulling the nose, but the companion was good and was not extroduced. Respect for schoolchildren accepted as proper, but held herself friendly. The main thing, knew the measure, able to keep himself with the case, and in relationships to the authorities never stopped by some last and cherished feature, for whom the misconduct could not be tolerant, turning to the mess, riot and in lawlessness. And however, he was very, very looked was to shake with every comfortable case, to stalk as the very last boy, and not so much to foolish, but something to rummate, go out, ask an "extrafefer", chic, to draw. The main thing was very proud. Even his mother managed to put the subordinates to her relationship, acting on it almost despotically. She obeyed, oh, it was already submitted for a long time, and only could not move one thought alone that her boy "loves little." It seemed continuously that Kohl to her "insensitive", and there were cases that she, pouring hysterical tears, began to reproach him in a cold. The boy did not love this, and the more demanded from him heartstrokes, however, he would have become discusible. But it did not happen for him not purposely, but involuntarily was the same. Mother was mistaken: he loved his mother very much, but did not love only the "calf tenderness," as he was expressed in his schoolchildren. After the Father, the cabinaries remained in which several books were stored; Kolya loved to read and read some of them. The mother did not hesitate to this and only wait sometimes like this is a boy, instead of going to play, stands on the cabinet for a whole closer over some book. And thus, Kolya read something, whatever he could still be given to read at his age. However, in recent times, at least a boy did not like to move in his cants of a well-known feature, but the pranks, who frightened her mother began, began, - True, not immoral any, but desperate, throwful. Just at this summer, in July, during the vacations, it happened that Mama and a son went to swim on a week to another county, for seventy miles, to one far-relative, the husband of which served at the railway station (the very nearest From our city station, from which Ivan Fedorovich Karamazov, a month later went to Moscow). There, Kolya began with the fact that he looked around the railway into details, he studied the routine, realizing that his new knowledge could shine, returning home, between the schoolchildren of his deflection. But they were found there just at that time and several more boys with whom he fell asleep; Some of them lived at the station, others in the neighborhood - the whole young people from twelve to fifteen years came up with six or seven years, and two of them happened from our town. The boys played together, Shalily, and at the fourth or on the fifth day of the stagnation at the station took place between the stupid youth, one prenemy in two rubles, it was: Kohl, almost all the youngest, and therefore somewhat despised by the elders, from vigorous or from unborn courage, He suggested that he, at night, when an eleven-hour train comes, will lay a slip between the rails and breaks the real estate until the train flashes over it on all pairs. True, a preliminary study was made, from which it turned out that it was really possible to stretch and flatten along between the rails, that the train, of course, sweeps and does not touch the lying, but, however, what is the way to go! Kohl stood firmly, which breaks. I first laughed, called the lnugu, fanfarone, but the way it was late for him. The main thing, these fifteen years too buried the nose before Him and first did not even want to consider him a friend, as a "little one," which was already unbearable. And it was decided to go from the evening at the vest from the station so that the train, while starring from the station, had already managed to completely disperse. The boys gathered. The night has come madless, not something that is dark, but almost black. In the proper hour, Kolya Less between the rails. Five others who kept bets, with a fading of the heart, and finally in fear and with repentance, waited at the bottom of the mound beside the roads in the bushes. Finally, the train took away the train, starred from the station. Two red lantern cramped from darkness, rubbed the approaching monster. "Run, run a share with rails!" - they shouted a coland of the bushes with fear of the boy, but it was already too late: the train rode and was rushed by. The boys rushed to Kolya: he laying real estate. They began to tear it, began to raise. He suddenly rose and silently came down with a mound. Having descended down, he announced that she was deliberately lying as without feelings, so that they would be frightened, but the truth was that he actually lost his feelings, as he confessed later, for a long time later, his mother. Thus, the glory of the "desperate" defeated him forever. He looked home to the station pale as a canvas. On another day, a slightly nervous fever fell ill, but the Spirit was terribly cheerful, glad and satisfied. The incident was announced not now, and already in our city, penetrated the definition and reached its bosses. But then Mama Kolya rushed to pray the bosses for his boy and ended in the fact that he was defended and thus stunned for him, and the case was left at Might, as not at all. This Dardanelov, a person is idle and unstable, was passionately and already many years in love with Mrs. Beautykina and already once, back to that with a year, respectfully and having simping from fear and delicacy, risked to suggest her his hand; But she flatly refused, considering the consent to be treated with her boy, although Dardanelov, according to some mysterious signs, even, maybe there would have some right to dream that he was not entirely contrast to the charming, but already a chaste and tender widow. The crazy prank if, it seems that the ice was punched, and Dardanelov had a hint of hope for his intercession, but Dardanelov himself was a phenomenon of purity and delicacy, and therefore his happiness had been depressed with him. He loved the boy, although he would consider a humiliating before him to crumble, and treated him in classes strictly and demanding. But Kolya himself kept him at a respectful distance, the lessons prepared perfectly, was in class by the second student, turned to Dardanelov dryly, and the whole class firmly believed that in the world history, Kolya was so strong that "hesitate" Dardanelova himself. And indeed, Kolya asked him the question: "Who founded Troy?" - What Dardanelov answered only about the peoples, their movements and relocation, about the depth of times, about the fablel, but on the one who founded Troy, that is, what kind of faces could not answer, and even the question found for some reason celebrating and Untenable. But the boys remained in confidence that Dardanelov did not know who founded Troy. Kolya read about the founders of Troy in Smaragdov, which kept in the room with books, which remained after the parent. It ended in that all the boys finally began to interest: who was exactly the same, but he did not open his secret, and the glory of knowledge remained unshakable. After the case on railway Some of the change in the mother's relationship occurred. When Anna Fedorovna (Krastekna's widow) learned about the feat of the son, he almost went crazy from horror. With it there were such terrible hysterical seizures, which lasted with jams for several days, that the frightened already seriously Kolya gave her honest and noble word that such pants would never happen again. He swore on his knees before and swore the memory of his father, as Ms. Krasktykna demanded, "the courageous" Kolya himself burst out, like a six-year-old boy, from "feelings", and the mother and son all the day rushed to each other in his arms and crushed . On another day, Kolya woke up as before "insensitive", but it became silent, more modest, stricter, thoughtful. True, after a month and a half, he was again caught in one poles, and his name was even known to our world judge, but the prank was already completely in another way, even funny and stupid, and he himself did, as it turned her, and Only I found himself into it mixed. But about it somehow after. Mother continued to tremble and suffer, and Dardanelov, as it was alarming, she more and more perceived hope. It should be noted that Kolya understood and solved Dardanelov from this side and, of course, deeply despised him for his "feelings"; Before even had the idiotness to show this contempt of his pre-mother, remotely hinting to her, which understands what Dardanelov seeks. But after the occasion on the railway, he also changed his behavior: the hints had no longer anything, even the most remote, and about Dardanelov, with the mother, he began to respond with respectfulness that he was immediately grateful in his heart, he understood the sensitive Anna Fedorovna, but But at the slightest, most unspecified Word, even from an outsider of any guest about Dardanelov, if at the same time there was a Kohl, suddenly all flashed from shame like a rose. Kolya in these moments or watched the window back into the window, or looked at him, do not ask his porridge boots, or fiercely called the chime, shaggy, quite a big and lousy dog, which since the month suddenly got from somewhere, dragged into the house and kept why Yes, secret in the rooms, without showing it from his comrades. It was terribly terribly, teaching it all sides and sciences, and brought a poor dog to the fact that she took out without him when he left him in classes, and when he came, squeezed from delight, rolled like a polulous, served, rolled to the ground and pretended to be dead And so on., Word, she showed all things to whom she was taught, no longer on demand, and only from the ferventness of his enthusiastic feelings and a grateful heart. By the way: I forgot to mention that Kolya Krastekin was the same boy who was familiar to the reader's boy Ilyusha, the son of the retired headquarters of Snegherev, drew a pearnous knife in the thigh, standing up for his father, whom schoolchildren struck the "washcloth".
