Enchanted wanderer chapter 5 summary. The Enchanted Wanderer. Chapter Ten: Change for the better
- Well, what, they say, to do; if you, having despised the law and religion, have changed your rite, then you must also suffer.
But she would begin to cry, and from one day to the next she began to cry more and more pitifully, and she bothered me with complaints, and suddenly, for no reason at all, she began to promise me all the money. And finally she came to say goodbye for the last time and said:
“Listen, Ivan (she already knew my name), listen,” she says, “what I’ll tell you: today,” she says, “he himself will come here to us.”
I'm asking:
- Who is it?
She answers:
- Repairer.
I speak:
"So what's my reason?"
And she tells that as if he sowed a passion at night how much money he won in cards and said that he wants to give her a thousand rubles for pleasure so that I, that is, give her her daughter.
- Well, this, - I say, - will never happen.
- Why, Ivan? from what? - comes up. “Is it really not a pity for you, me and her that we are apart?”
- Well, they say, it’s a pity or not a pity, but only I didn’t sell myself either for big money or for small ones, and I won’t sell it, and therefore let all the thousands of repairmen remain with him, and your daughter with me.
She cry and I say:
You better not cry, because I don't care.
She says:
“You are heartless, you are stone.
And I answer:
- Absolutely, they say, I'm not made of stone, but the same as everyone else, bone and sinew, and I'm a man of office and faithful: I undertook to protect the child and take care of him.
She convinces me that after all, judge, she says, and my own child will be better off!
“Again,” I answer, “it’s none of my business.
“Is it possible,” she cries, “is it really necessary for me to part with my child again?
- And what, - I say, - if you, having despised the law and religion ...
But I just didn’t finish what I wanted to say, as I see, a light lancer is coming towards us across the steppe. Then the regimental regiments still walked as they should, with a force, in a real military uniform, not like the current ones, like clerks. This lancer-repairer is walking, so portly, with his hands on his hips, and his greatcoat is wide open... he may not have any strength in him, but forcefully ... I look at this guest and think: “I wish I could play with him out of boredom ". And I decided that as soon as he spoke a word to me, I would certainly be rude to him as badly as possible, and maybe, they say, we are here, God willing, we will fight for our pleasure. This, I am delighted, will be wonderful, and what my mistress babbles to me at this time and babbles with tears, I no longer listen, but only want to play.
Chapter Five
Only, having decided to get some kind of fun for myself, I think: how should I tease this officer so that he starts attacking me? and I sat down, took a comb out of my pocket and started scratching myself with it; and the officer goes right up to that mistress of his.
She told him - ta-ta-ta, ta-ta: everything means that I won’t give her a child.
And he strokes her head and says:
“It’s nothing, darling, nothing: I’ll find a remedy against him right now. Money, - he says, - we will spread it, his eyes will run wide; and if this remedy does not work, then we will simply take the child away from him, - and with this very word he comes up to me and gives me a bundle of banknotes, and he himself says:
“Here,” he says, “here is exactly a thousand rubles, “give us the child, and take the money and go wherever you want.”
And I’m deliberately ignorant, I don’t answer him soon: first I got up quietly; then he hung the comb on his belt, cleared his throat, and then said:
“No,” I say, “this is your remedy, your honor, it won’t work,” but he took it himself, tore the papers out of his hands, spat on them and threw them away, I say:
- Tubo - drank, fetch, pick up!
He was upset, blushed all over, but at me; but to me, you yourself can see my complexion, - why should I cope with a uniformed officer for a long time; I shoved him so lightly, and he is ready: he flew and lifted his spurs up, and the saber bent to the side. I just stamped, I stepped on this saber with his foot and I say:
“Here you are,” I say, “and I will crush your courage under my foot.
But even though he’s bad in strength, he was a brave officer: he sees that he can’t take away his sabers from me, so he untied it, and with fists he rushes at me ... Of course, and in this way he does nothing from me but bodily grief, received, but I liked how proud and noble his character was: I do not take his money, and he did not pick it up either.
As we stopped fighting, I shout:
“Take it, your excellency, pick up your money, it’s good for runs!”
What do you think: after all, he did not raise, but runs straight and grabs the child; but, of course, he takes the child by the hand, and I immediately grab the other and say:
- Well, pull it: which half will come off more.
He is screaming:
- Scoundrel, scoundrel, monster! - and with this he spat in my face and threw the child, and only this mistress was carried away, and she screamed plaintively in despair and, forcibly drawn, although she followed him, she extended her eyes and hands here to me and to the child ... and now I see I feel how she, as if alive, is torn in half, half towards him, half towards the child ... And at that very moment, from the city, I suddenly see my master, for whom I serve, and already in the hands of a pistol, and he is all shoots from that pistol and shouts:
- Hold them, Ivan! Hold on!
“Well, then,” I think to myself, “so I’m going to keep them for you? Let them love!" - yes, I caught up with the lady with the lancer, I give them a child and say:
- Here you have this shot! only now, I say, take me away, otherwise he will hand me over to justice, because I have an illegal passport.
She says:
- Let's leave, dear Ivan, we will leave, we will live with us.
So we galloped off and the girl, my pupil, was taken away with us, and to that my master a goat, and money, and my passport remained.
All the way I, with my new gentlemen, all on the goats on the tarantass, going all the way to Penza, sat and thought: did I do it well that I beat the officer? after all, he took the oath, and in the war with a saber defends the fatherland, and the sovereign himself, according to his rank, perhaps says “you”, and I, the fool, offended him so much! .. And then I’ll change my mind, I’ll start thinking differently: where now fate will determine me; and there was a fair in Penza then, and the uhlan tells me.

And then the passengers ask an unknown interlocutor to tell them the story of his life.
Chapter 2
Ivan Flyagin in the story "The Enchanted" wanderer begins to tell his story from the very beginning. He was born a serf under Count K. and his name was not Ivan Flyagin, but Golovan, because he was born with an unusually large head. He lived in the coachman's yard with his father, Severyan Ivanych, and it was there that he learned how to handle horses. He mentions how he slashed a novice sleeping on the cart with a whip, he fell out of the cart, caught his feet on the reins and the horses dragged him along the ground. When they stopped and came closer, the old man was dead. Flyagin says that the deceased novice came to him in a dream that day.
He tells how, together with the crew, he fell into the abyss, but he was extraordinarily lucky to stay alive and still save his master and his wife. And how a healthy man found him, who later took Golovan to Voronezh to see the count. And the count, in gratitude for the salvation, was ready for anything, but Ivan chose only a harmonica, which he did not know how to play.
Chapter 3
In the third chapter of Leskov “The Enchanted Wanderer”, in a summary, you will learn how, after returning from Voronezh, Ivan had a pigeon with a dove in the stable, and soon pigeons. There was only one problem: the cat kept stealing pigeons. And Flyagin decided to teach the cat a lesson, caught it by building a snare on the window, then whipped it and cut off its tail with an axe. And he was so proud of himself that he pinned this tail at his window. Soon the maid runs into the stable and shouts that it was her cat. Flyagin was taken aback, grabbed the broom and hit her on the waist. He was judged severely: he was flogged and sent to break stones for the path. Golovan thought about how to end the torment and found only one way out - to end his life. Only he failed to hang himself, the gypsies saved him and invited him to live with them. So Ivan became a robber as the main character.
Chapter 4
The gypsy turned out to be cunning, he asked Ivan, as proof of his loyalty, to steal a couple of horses. They sold the horses, divided the money, but not equally. Because of this, Golovan had a fight with the gypsy and parted ways. After the hero decided to show up and went to the assessor, but did not find him on the spot. He told his story to the clerk, and he, calling Ivan a fool, wrote him a vacation permit to Nikolaev, in exchange for a ruble, an earring and a silver cross. In the city they took him as a nanny. He nursed the girl for a year, and by the summer Ivan noticed that her legs were moving like a wheel. Took him to the doctor. He did not like his work, it was boring. Once the nanny fell asleep on the beach, wakes up, and an unknown lady holds the girl, and says that she is the mother of the child and asks to give her away.

Further, the author describes how Flyagin decides to provoke the officer, who was the husband of the lady, into a fight.
Chapter 5
The officer offered Ivan money for the child, he refused. And then he pushed the officer, who, although he was a military man, could not defeat the hefty hero. At that moment, the gentleman came running with shouts: "Keep them!". Seeing the suffering of a young woman, Flyagin gave the child to his mother. This story ended with the fact that the lady with the officer and Ivan fled to Penza, then their paths diverged. The hero went to a tavern, drank tea, and then saw the Tatars selling horses. Ivan witnessed a duel between two Tatars, who began to whip each other with whips. The winner got an incredibly beautiful, stately filly. 
Chapter 6

The officer to whom Ivan gave the child was also a witness to the horse auction and really wanted this horse. Flyagin decided to help the repairman, entered into a duel with the Tatar. During the battle with the batyr, Ivan was helped by a penny, which he kept in his mouth so as not to feel pain. As a result, he defeated and killed the Tatar. The police wanted to try him, but only Ivan Severyanych hid behind the Tatars and went with them to the steppe and spent ten years there.

A year has passed since the Tatars got rid of the Christian missionaries and two men arrived in the camp. Dressed in incomprehensible clothes, they spoke a strange language and wanted to buy horses. They said that their god, Talaf, sent fire with the travelers. At night, Ivan woke up from unknown sounds that frightened the Tatars to death. At that time, the foreigners who arrived at the camp, released their horses and disappeared. Visiting people forgot the box in which there were fireworks. A few days later, the hero set off the biggest fireworks and escaped under his cover. He walked all the way, a few days later he met the Russians, talked to them, drank vodka, and when they fell asleep, he went to Astrakhan. He earned some money and took to drink, and woke up already in his province. He was flogged and delivered to Count K., but he did not want to keep Ivan with him, gave him a passport and let him go.

Ivan's position was difficult, since he had the prince's money with him. There was a lot of money and fearing for their safety, Ivan decided to hide the money in the wall with a drawing of the Last Judgment in the church. After he went to a tavern, where he met a beggar who could eat glass, and assured that we had "magnetism". By evening, both were drunk to unconsciousness. 
Chapter 12

At first, the Prince was angry that Ivan had spent all his money, and then he admitted that he was as dissolute as Flyagin. In the morning the hero woke up with delirium tremens in the infirmary, and when he recovered he went to the prince to earn money. And I found out that he gave fifty thousand, if only to redeem Grusha from the camp.

CHAPTER 1
1. A story about a student. How does Leskov explain why the student committed suicide?
Answer: In the northern places "Any freethinking and love of freedom cannot resist the apathy of the population and the terrible boredom of the oppressive, stingy nature." Like - from nature. And if we proceed from the idea of the story: the student did not have the spiritual space to resist the "oppressive" nature, that is, he did not find the strength and spirit to live in himself. Unlike the main character.
2. How did the suicides instill fear in people?
Answer:“Suicides, because they will suffer for a century. No one can even pray for them.”

Answer: He had to tame horses that were driven from afar.
5. And why was Raray needed, according to the author's intention?

6. An essentially terrible episode with the pacification of a horse. Decipher the author's intention: why did he describe pacification in such detail, even with atrocities?
Answer: The horse is dead. This metaphor: the horse did not want to accept, did not want to be subdued by fate and chose its own path. It is the same with a person: either he submits to fate and dies “spiritually”, or fights like Flyagin and defeats fate.
I add: the folklore motif of taming a horse accompanies Ivan Severyanych throughout his life. The episodes of the turning of the horse are typical for the Russian fairy tale: they symbolize the victory of man over the natural elements, the personification of which is the horse. In parallel, there is a Russian fairy tale about a legless and blind hero: “Katoma sits firmly, holds on to the mane with one hand, and with the other takes out (...) an iron log and begins (...) to upset the horse between the ears (...). And so he pestered the heroic stallion that the horse could not stand it, exclaimed in a human voice: “Father Katoma! Let at least a living one into the world. Whatever you want, then order: everything will be your way!

9. Whole shoals of horses were sold cheaply in the early days. Why?
Answer: They weakened and then died prematurely, because they could not live in captivity.
10. What is "poster mischief"?
Answer: An oncoming peasant, gaping, or even falling asleep on the wagon train, "pull a whip on his shirt."
11. How does the episode with the man on the bridge characterize Ivan Flyagin?
12. Once Ivan took the count with the countess to the city. For what?
Answer: Treat the clubfoot countess. The horses carried on, and Flyagin was able to stop the horses only at the cliff. Moreover, the horses broke, and Ivan remained alive.
13. Decipher the meaning of this episode.
Answer: This is also a kind of metaphor - a model of life.
14. Why did Ivan ask for harmony as a gift? He didn't even know how to play.
Answer: Harmony is an allegory of his soul. He has it. This is a disinterested request on the part of Ivan - he did not ask for money.
CHAPTER 3
15. "It's you ... Zozinka mutilated?" Brief summary.
Answer: The lady's cat Zozenka grunted a dove, whom Ivan loved. So the man punished the cat by cutting off part of its tail.
16. How does this episode characterize Ivan?

retelling
Chapter 1
On Lake Ladoga, on the way to the island of Valaam, several travelers meet on a ship. One of them, dressed in a novice cassock and looking like a "typical hero" - Mr. Flyagin Ivan Severyanych. He is gradually drawn into the conversation of passengers about suicides and, at the request of his companions, begins a story about his life: having God's gift to tame horses, he “died and could not die in any way” all his life.
Chapters 2, 3
Ivan Severyanych continues the story. He came from a kind of courtyard people of Count K. from the Oryol province. His "parent" coachman Severyan, Ivan's "parent" died after giving birth because he "was born with an unusually large head", for which he received the nickname Golovan. From his father and other coachmen, Flyagin "learned the secret of knowledge in the animal", from childhood he became addicted to horses. He soon got used to it so much that he began to "show postatory mischief: to pull out some oncoming peasant with a whip on his shirt." This mischief led to trouble: one day, returning from the city, he accidentally kills a monk who fell asleep on a wagon with a whip. The next night, the monk appears to him in a dream and reproaches him for taking his life without repentance. Then he reveals that Ivan is the son "promised to God." “But,” he says, “it’s a sign for you that you will die many times and you will never die until your real“ death ”comes, and then you will remember your mother’s promise for you and go to blacks.” Soon Ivan and his hosts go to Voronezh and on the way save them from death in a terrible abyss, and fall into mercy.
Upon returning to the estate after some time, Golovan breeds pigeons under the roof. Then he discovers that the owner's cat is carrying chicks, he catches her and cuts off the tip of her tail. As punishment for this, he is severely flogged, and then sent to the "English garden for the path to beat stones with a hammer." The last punishment “tormented” Golovan and he decides to commit suicide. A gypsy saves him from this fate, who cuts the rope prepared for death and persuades Ivan to run away with him, taking his horses with him.
Chapter 4
But, having sold the horses, they did not agree on the division of money and parted. Golovan gives the official his ruble and silver cross and receives a holiday form (certificate) that he is a free man, and goes around the world. Soon, trying to get a job, he gets to one gentleman, to whom he tells his story, and he begins to blackmail him: either he will tell the authorities everything, or Golovan goes to serve as a "nanny" to his little daughter. This gentleman, a Pole, convinces Ivan with the phrase: “After all, you are a Russian person? A Russian person can handle everything.” Golovan has to agree. About the girl's mother baby He doesn't know anything, he doesn't know how to deal with children. He has to feed her goat's milk. Gradually, Ivan learns to take care of the baby, even to treat him. So he imperceptibly becomes attached to the girl. Once, when he was walking with her by the river, a woman approached them, who turned out to be the girl's mother. She begged Ivan Severyanych to give her the child, offered him money, but he was inexorable and even got into a fight with the lady's current husband, a lancer officer.
Chapter 5
Suddenly Golovan sees an angry owner approaching, he feels sorry for the woman, he gives the child to his mother and runs with them. In another city, an officer soon sends the passportless Golovan away, and he goes to the steppe, where he ends up at the Tatar auction of horses. Khan Dzhangar sells his horses, and the Tatars set prices and fight for horses: they sit opposite each other and whip each other with whips.
Chapter 6
When a new handsome horse is put up for sale, Golovan does not hold back and, speaking for one of the repairmen, traps the Tatar to death. “Tatarva - they’re nothing: well, he killed and killed - there were such conditions for that, because he could spot me, but his own, our Russians, even annoyingly don’t understand this, and got angry.” In other words, they wanted to hand him over to the police for murder, but he ran away from the gendarmes to Rynpeski itself. Here he gets to the Tatars, who, so that he does not run away, "bristle" his legs. Golovan serves as a Tatar doctor, moves with great difficulty and dreams of returning to his homeland.
Chapter 7
Golovan has been living with the Tatars for several years, he already has several wives and children “Natasha” and “Kolek”, whom he regrets, but admits that he could not love them, “he did not honor them for his children”, because they are “unbaptized” . He is more and more homesick for his homeland: “Ah, sir, how all this memorable life from childhood will go to be remembered, and will press on the soul that where you disappear, you are excommunicated from all this happiness and have not been in the spirit for so many years, and you live unmarried and die inveterate, and melancholy will seize you, and ... wait until night, crawl out slowly behind the headquarters, so that neither your wife, nor children, and no one from the filthy ones would see you, and you will begin to pray ... and you pray ... you pray so much that even the snow of the indus will melt under the knees, and where tears fell, you will see grass in the morning.
Chapter 8
When Ivan Severyanych was already completely desperate to get home, Russian missionaries came to the steppe "to set their faith." He asks them to pay a ransom for him, but they refuse, claiming that before God "everyone is equal and it's all the same." Some time later, one of them is killed, Golovan buries him according to the Orthodox custom. He explains to the listeners that "an Asian must be brought to faith with fear," because they "will never respect a humble God without a threat."
Chapter 9
Somehow, two people from Khiva came to the Tatars to buy horses in order to “make war”. Hoping to intimidate the Tatars, they demonstrate the power of their fiery god Talafy. But Golovan discovers a box of fireworks, introduces himself as Talafoy, frightens the Tatars, converts them to the Christian faith and, having found “caustic earth” in the boxes, heals his legs and runs away. In the steppe, Ivan Severyanych meets a Chuvash, but refuses to go with him, because he simultaneously reveres both the Mordovian Keremeti and the Russian Nicholas the Wonderworker. Russians also come across on his way, they cross themselves and drink vodka, but drive away the passportless Ivan Severyanych. In Astrakhan, the wanderer ends up in prison, from where he is taken to his hometown. Father Ilya excommunicates him for three years from communion, but the count, who has become devout, releases him "for quitrent".
Chapter 10
Golovan settles down on the horse section. He helps the peasants to choose good horses, he is famous as a sorcerer, and everyone demands to tell the "secret". One prince takes him to his post as koneser. Ivan Severyanych buys horses for the prince, but from time to time he has drunken "outputs", before which he gives the prince all the money for safekeeping.
Chapter 11
Once, when the prince sells a beautiful horse to Dido, Ivan Severyanych is very sad, “makes a way out”, but this time he keeps the money to himself. He prays in church and goes to a tavern, from where he is expelled when, having drunk, he begins to argue with a “most empty” person who claimed that he drinks because he “voluntarily took on weakness” so that it would be easier for others, and Christian feelings do not allow him to stop drinking. They are kicked out of the restaurant.
Chapter 12
A new acquaintance imposes "magnetism" on Ivan Severyanych in order to free him from "zealous drunkenness", and for this he gives him extra water. At night, when they are walking along the street, this man leads Ivan Severyanych to another tavern.
Chapter 13
Ivan Severyanych hears beautiful singing and goes into a tavern, where he spends all the money on the beautiful songstress gypsy Grushenka: “you can’t even describe her as a woman, but as if like a bright snake, she moves on her tail and bends all over, and from her black eyes it burns fire. Curious figure! “So I became mad, and all my mind was taken away.”
Chapter 14
The next day, having obeyed the prince, he learns that the owner himself gave fifty thousand for Grushenka, bought her out of the camp and settled her in his country estate. And Grushenka drove the prince crazy: “That’s what’s sweet to me now that I turned my whole life upside down for her: I retired, and mortgaged the estate, and from now on I’ll live here, not seeing a person, but only everything I will look her in the face."
Chapter 15
Ivan Severyanych tells the story of his master and Gruni. After some time, the prince gets bored with the “love word”, from the “yakhont emeralds” he gets sleepy, besides, all the money ends. Grushenka feels the prince's cooling, she is tormented by jealousy. Ivan Severyanych “became from that time easily entered by her: when the prince was away, every day twice a day he went to her wing to drink tea and entertained her as much as he could.”
Chapter 16
Once, going to the city, Ivan Severyanych overhears the conversation of the prince with his former mistress Evgenia Semyonovna and learns that his master is going to marry, and wants to marry the unfortunate and sincerely loved Grushenka to Ivan Severyanych. Returning home, Golovan learns that the prince secretly took the gypsy woman to the bee-bee in the forest. But Grusha escapes from her guards.
Chapters 17, 18
Grusha tells Ivan Severyanych what happened while he was gone, how the prince got married, how she was sent into exile. She asks to kill her, to curse her soul: “Become quickly for my soul for the savior; I no longer have the strength to live like this and suffer, seeing his betrayal and desecration of me. Have pity on me, my dear; hit me once with a knife against the heart. Ivan Severyanych recoiled, but she wept and exhorted him to kill her, otherwise she would kill herself. “Ivan Severyanych wrinkled his eyebrows terribly and, biting his mustache, seemed to exhale from the depths of his diverging chest: “She took the knife out of my pocket ... took it apart ... straightened the blade from the handle ... and puts it in my hands ...“ You won’t kill , - she says, - me, I will become the most shameful woman to all of you in revenge. I trembled all over, and ordered her to pray, and I didn’t prick her, but took it from the steep into the river and shoved it ... "
Chapter 19
Ivan Severyanych runs back and meets a peasant wagon along the way. The peasants complain to him that their son is being taken as a soldier. In search of an imminent death, Golovan pretends to be a peasant son and, having given all the money to the monastery as a contribution for Grushin's soul, goes to war. He dreams of dying, but "neither earth nor water wants to accept him." Once Golovan distinguished himself in business. The colonel wants to present him for a reward, and Ivan Severyanych tells about the murder of a gypsy. But his words are not confirmed by the request, he is promoted to officer and dismissed with the Order of St. George. Using the colonel's letter of recommendation, Ivan Severyanych gets a job as a "reference officer" at the address desk, but the service does not go well, and he goes to the artists. But even there he did not take root: rehearsals are also held on Holy Week(sin!), Ivan Severyanych gets to portray the "difficult role" of the demon ... He leaves the theater for the monastery.
Chapter 20
The monastic life does not burden him, he remains there with the horses, but he does not consider it worthy to take the tonsure and lives in obedience. To the question of one of the travelers, he says that at first a demon appeared to him in a “seductive female form”, but after fervent prayers only small demons, children, remained. Once he was punished: they put him in a cellar for the whole summer until frost. Ivan Severyanych did not lose heart there either: “Here you can hear the church bells, and the comrades came to visit.” They saved him from the cellar because the gift of prophecy was revealed in him. They let him go on a pilgrimage to Solovki. The wanderer confesses that he expects imminent death, because the "spirit" inspires to take up arms and go to war, and he "really wants to die for the people."
Having finished the story, Ivan Severyanych falls into quiet concentration, again feeling in himself "the influx of a mysterious broadcasting spirit, which is revealed only to babies."

Summary of the Enchanted Wanderer chapter by chapter in detail
Chapter 1
The ship, which sailed along Lake Ladoga from Kovevets to Valaam, berths at Koralla and from here everyone continues on horseback to this ancient village. Along the way, people argue why they send unwanted people in St. Petersburg to send them to such a distance. After all, there is also a place nearby where apathy will take over a person. And someone says that they once exiled here, but only no one could endure a long stay here. And one of the exiles hanged himself altogether, but one of the passengers said that he had done the right thing. But another passenger, who was a believer, intervened in the conversation, he was outraged "after all, no one can even pray for suicides." But here a man is opposed to these two. He was tall, with thick light-coloured hair, and a swarthy face. He was wearing a novice cassock with a wide belt, and on his head was a high cap made of cloth. He was about 50 years old, but he looks like a real Russian hero and even somewhat resembled Ilya Muromets. You can tell from his appearance that he has seen quite a bit. He was brave and self-confident, he said that there is a man who is able to alleviate the fate of a suicide. His name is popik-drunkard. Because of this, they even wanted to kick him out, but he stopped drinking and wanted to lay hands on himself, so Vladyka took pity on him and his family. And for his daughter to find a groom who will serve instead of him.
But once the bishop lay down after the meal and delayed, he dreamed that he had come to Reverend Sergius and asked to have pity on the priest. But when he woke up, he decided that it was. And when he went to bed again, he already saw how the army under the dark banners was leading the shadows, who nod their heads and sadly asked to have pity on him, because he was praying for them. Then he called the priest to him and asked if he was really praying for suicides. Then he blesses him and returns him to his place. During the conversation, we learned that this passenger was a monk, but he was a cones. He told that he had experienced a lot, was in captivity, but he came to serve in the monastery not so long ago. Of course, everyone became interested, and they asked to talk about their lives. He agreed and promised to start over.
Chapter 2
Our hero's name is Ivan Severyanych Flyagin. He began to tell from his origin from the palace persons of Count K. from the Oryol province. It so happened that my mother died in childbirth, and his father worked as a coachman and he grew up with him. Most of his life was spent in the stable, which is why he fell in love with horses so much. At the age of eleven, he already served as a postilion, but since he was physically weak, he was tied to a saddle and girths. But it was extremely uncomfortable, and sometimes he even lost consciousness, but then he got used to it. But he had a very bad habit, he whipped those who stood in his way. And somehow he was taking the count to the monastery and thus killed the old man. But the count allowed everything. But this old man appears to Ivan and cries. He tells Ivan that his mother had a praying and promised son.
His mother once promised him to the Lord, saying: “You will die many times and will not die until your time comes, and you remember your mother’s promise, and you will go to blacks.” After some time, the count and his wife are going to take their daughter to Voronezh to see a doctor. On the way, they stopped to feed the horses, but again an old man appeared to Ivan and told him to ask the masters to go to the monastery. But he ignored. Together with their father, they harnessed the horses and drove off, but there was a steep mountain. As they descended, the brake burst, and the horses rushed to the cliff. Father managed to jump, but Ivan hung. The first horses fell off the cliff, and the carriage stopped. Then suddenly he came to his senses and fell down, but remained alive. The count invited Ivan to ask for whatever he wanted, and he asked for an accordion, but also soon abandoned it.
Chapter 3
He got a couple of pigeons in the stable. The chicks appeared. Out of carelessness, he crushed one when he was dragging it, and the second was eaten by a cat. He caught her and cut off her tail. But it turned out that the cat belonged to the countess's maid, for which he was taken to the office to be whipped and forced to beat stones with a hammer for construction garden paths. But he could not stand it and decided to hang himself. He went to the forest, taking the rope. He tried to arrange everything, but something went wrong, and he fell off the branch, fell to the ground, and a gypsy was already standing above him and cut off the rope. He called Flyagin with him. Ivan began to ask: "Who are they? Thieves or not? Do they cut people?" But Ivan did not think long and went into the robbers.
Chapter 4
But the gypsy turned out to be cunning, he said everything the guy wanted to hear, because he knew that he worked at the count's stable and would bring out a couple of the best horses for him. They galloped almost all night, then sold their horses. But Ivan did not receive anything, because the gypsies simply deceived him. Then he went to the assessor and told the story of how he was deceived, and he said that for a fee he would make him look like a vacation. Well, Ivan gave everything he had. The guy comes to the city of Nikolaev and went to the place where people who are looking for work gather.
Then a huge gentleman appeared, who just immediately grabbed onto him and led him along. And when he found out that he felt sorry for the pigeons, he was generally delighted, as it turned out, he wanted to hire him to nurse his daughter. The wife ran away from the master and left her little daughter, and he himself cannot look after her, because he works. But Ivan began to worry about how he would cope with this matter. But the master replied that the Russian man could handle everything. So he became a nanny for a little girl, he fell in love with her very much. But the girl's mother comes and asks to return her child, but Ivan does not give it back. When he comes with the child to the estuary, the mother is already sitting, waiting for them and begins to beg again.
And so it went on for a very long time. And now she comes to Ivan for the last time and says that a repairman will come. He wants to give him 1,000 rubles in exchange for a child, but Ivan remains unmoved. But when he sees this repairman, the thought flashed through his mind, it would be nice to play with him. But since a disagreement may begin between them, it is possible that a fight will occur, which Ivan really wanted.
Chapter 5
Here Ivan began to figure out how to tease the officer so that he would attack him. And the lady is crying to the officer that they will not give her the child. And he tells her in response that he will only show the money to Ivan and he will immediately exchange the girl. He gives banknotes to Ivan, and he tore them out, spat and threw them on the ground. The repairman was furious and attacked him. But Ivan only pushed him, so he immediately flew off. The repairman turned out to be proud and noble and did not pick them up. He grabbed the child, and Ivan took the girl's second hand, saying: "On whose side it comes off, he will take the child." But the repairman did not do this, spat in Ivan's face and began to lead the mistress away. But then the girl's father runs out of the city with a gun, shoots from it and shouts that he should hold them. But on the contrary, he catches up with the lady and gives her the girl, he only asked to be with them.
They arrived in Penza. But the officer said that he could not keep him with him, as there were no documents, and gave him 200 rubles. Here he decides to go to the police and confess, but first he will go to a tavern to have a drink. He drinks for a long time, then all the same he went. And having crossed the river, he met carriages, and in them the Tatars. He saw that the people were drowning themselves, and in the center a Tatar in a golden skullcap was sitting on a colored felt mat. He, of course, immediately recognized him - Khan Dzhangar. Despite the fact that the lands are Russian, the khan owned them. Here he was grafted with a white mare and started bargaining. Many offered what they could and even brought them almost to ruin. Then two peasants came out and sat opposite each other, whips were brought to them. They had to whip each other. Who will last longer and take the mare. He spoke about the intricacies of the competition next standing man. He then won the whole bloodied lay on his stomach on a horse and left. Ivan wanted to leave, but he was detained by a new acquaintance.
Chapter 6
Here the bargaining began again, only the carac stallion was already put up. In the crowd, he saw a familiar repairman. Ivan began to flog with him and won the argument, constipating him to death. The passengers were horrified by what they heard, but explained that this Tatar was the first batyr and did not want to yield to Ivan. But he was helped by a penny, which he gnawed so as not to feel pain, and in order not to think, he counted the blows. The Russians wanted to hand him over to the police, but the Tatars helped him escape, so he left with them in the steppes. He stayed there for 11 years. The Tatars did not treat him badly, but so that he would not run away, they cut out the skin on his heels and sewed in chopped horsehair. A person after such procedures cannot step on the heel and is able to crawl only on his knees. But, nevertheless, the attitude was good, they even gave him a wife. And another Khan, who stole him, gave him two wives. Agashimol called Ivan to cure his wife, but he deceived. The passengers listened with their mouths open, and were very much looking forward to the continuation. Ivan continued.
Chapter 7
Of course, Agashimol did not let go, But he gave wives, however, he did not love them. They bore him children, but he did not have paternal feelings for them. Missed Russia. Sometimes I even saw a monastery and baptized land. He told the passengers about the life and life of the Tatars. But everyone was interested in how he coped with his heels and ran away from the Tatars.
Chapter 8
He had lost hope of returning, but once he saw the missionaries. But when I got closer I saw that they were Russians. He began to ask to be taken away from captivity. But they didn't listen to him. But he waited when the priests were left alone and began to ask them again. But they said that they had no right to frighten the infidels and should be polite towards them. And he needs to pray and ask God for help. They said that they care about those who are in darkness, and showed a book with the Tatars, who were attached to Christianity. He left.
Once his son comes and says that a dead man was found on the lake, it turned out to be a preacher. Ivan buried him according to all Christian customs. The Tatars also killed the Jewish missionary. But then his listeners had a question, how did he himself survive. To which he responded with a miracle.
Chapter 9
After the missionaries were killed, a year passed, but soon two more were brought. But they spoke in an incomprehensible language. Both were black with beards, dressed in robes. They began to demand the return of the horses, otherwise the Tatars would recognize the power of Talaf, who promised to burn them. It all happened overnight. The horses rushed forward in fear, and the Tatars, forgetting about fear, ran to catch up. But not here - it was them and the trace caught a cold, they left only the box. When Ivan approached him, he realized that it was just fireworks. He began to let them into the sky and christened all the Tatars in the river. Campaign, he found in them a caustic substance, which he applied to the heels for two weeks, so that the hair came out with pus. So the heels healed, but he pretended that he was even worse and punished that no one should go outside the yurts for three days. Launched a big fireworks and left. Then he met a Chuvash who had five horses. He offered to sit on one of them, but now Ivan did not trust anyone, so he refused.
Here he meets people, but first he checks who it is. He notices that they are being baptized and drinking vodka, which means they are Russians. They were fishermen. They accepted him, and he told them about his life. Then he went to Astrakhan, earned a ruble and took to drink. He woke up in prison, he was sent to his native province, where he was flogged by the police and given to the count, who flogged him twice more and gave him his passport. Now Ivan, after so many years, is a free man.
Chapter 10
He got to the fair and noticed how a gypsy was selling a bad horse to a peasant. So he helped to choose and began to earn in this way. He went to church, and it became much easier.
Chapter 11
Then he went to a tavern to drink tea, but there he met a man whom he seemed to know. He was once an officer, but he squandered everything. And now he sat in taverns and asked someone to treat him with vodka. He also stuck to Ivan, also asked for a treat and said that he would wean him to drink. As a result, they were taken outside, because the time was already approaching to close.
Chapter 12
When Ivan was on the street, he checked the wad of money in his bosom. And immediately calmed down. And then his drinking buddy takes him to a gypsy den, and he leaves. As it turned out later, the gypsies paid him for it. He enters the house to ask for directions to his house.
Chapter 13
Ivan ended up in a large room where a beautiful gypsy named Grusha sang. When she finished singing, she began to go around everyone with a tray and collected money. She went around everyone, but the gypsy told her to go to Ivan. He was fascinated by her beauty and put 100 rubles in her tray. And the gypsy touched his lips. Then Ivan was taken to the front row and robbed to the bone.
Chapter 14
He couldn't even remember how he got home. And in the morning the prince returned from another fair, where he also spent all the money. And he began to beg them from Ivan, but he said that he gave all the money to a gypsy. The prince was at a loss, but did not engage in moralizing, saying that he had once done so himself. Ivan ends up in the hospital with delirium tremens, and when he recovers, he goes to the prince to blame. But he said that when he saw Grusha, instead of 5,000, he gave 50,000 rubles to let her go. The prince changed his whole life for the gypsy: he resigned and mortgaged the estate. She lived in the countryside with him. And when she sang songs with a guitar, the prince simply sobbed.
Chapter 15
But soon she bored the prince. Grusha also began to yearn, she told Ivan that she was tormented by jealousy. The prince became impoverished and sought different ways to get rich. He often went to the city, and Grusha wondered if he had anyone. And in the city lived the former love of the prince - Evgenia Semyonovna. She had a daughter from him, they had two houses, which he actually bought for them. But one day Ivan came to her, and then the prince drove in. Evgenia Semyonovna hid Ivan in the dressing room, and he heard their entire conversation.
Chapter 16
The prince begged her to mortgage the house in order to find money for him. He said that he wanted to become rich, open a cloth factory and trade in fabrics. But Evgenia immediately realized that he only wanted to give a deposit and pass for a rich man, but in fact to marry the daughter of the leader of the factory and become rich at the expense of her dowry. He quickly confessed. She nevertheless agreed to mortgage the house, but asked what would happen to the gypsy. He said that he would marry them to Ivan. The prince began to work in the factory, and sent Ivan to the fair. Upon returning to the village, Ivan did not see the gypsy again. He could not find a place for himself from longing for her. Once he went to the bank of the river and began to call her, and she appeared.
Chapter 17
She was already pregnant for the last month. She trembled with jealousy and walked around in some rags. She repeated the same thing that she wanted to kill the prince's bride. Although I knew perfectly well that that girl had nothing to do with it either.
Chapter 18
She told Ivan that the prince called her for a walk, he himself brought her to some thicket, saying that she would be here under the supervision of three single-dweller girls. But she was able to escape from there, went to the prince's house, and found Ivan. She asked to be killed, because otherwise they would destroy the bride. She took a knife out of his pocket and put it in his hands. He threw it away in every possible way, but she said that if he did not kill her, he would become the most shameful woman. He pushed her off the cliff and she drowned.
Chapter 19
He ran headlong, and all the time it seemed to him that the soul of Pear was flying nearby. On the way I met an old man with an old woman, they wanted to take their son to the army, he agreed to go instead of him. He fought in the Caucasus for more than 15 years. In one battle, it was necessary to cross to the other side of the river, but all the soldiers died from the bullets of the highlanders. Then he decided to complete this task, and under the bullets he swam across the river and built a bridge. At that moment it seemed to him that Grusha was covering him. For this he was given an officer's rank and was dismissed. But this did not bring prosperity, and he decided to leave for a monastery. There he became a coachman.
Chapter 20
Thus ended all his wanderings and troubles. At first he saw demons, but he fought them by fasting and reciting prayers. And when he began to read books, he began to predict an imminent war. Therefore, he was sent to Solovki. And just he met his listeners on Lake Ladoga. He told them everything honestly and frankly.
