The story "Pushkin-peasant woman" by Pushkin. Just about the main thing
In the autumn of 1830, to arrange financial affairs before the marriage of A.S. Pushkin goes to the estate of his father Boldino in the Nizhny Novgorod province. The trip was supposed to be short-lived, but the cholera epidemic, which swept through part of Russia, detained the poet in the village for a long three months. Forced seclusion prompted inspiration, and months in seclusion became extremely fruitful for the poet. Boldinskaya autumn - this is the name of this period in Pushkin's creative life. One of the masterpieces created by the poet these days are "The Belkin's Tale" - a series of small prose works allegedly told to the author by a retired lieutenant. These stories are very different in content and mood, but they are united by their close attention to the personality of the common man, a deep philosophical view of life events and experiences associated with them, leading, at times, to fatal twists of fate. The story "Pushkin-Peasant Woman" by Pushkin is one of this cycle. This light, very elegant work is knocked out by its sparkling vaudeville from the general system. However, the events described in it are no less fatal for the main characters.
