Novel in verses by A.S. Pushkin "Eugene Onegin" is known to everyone firsthand. But nevertheless, over time, some details of the work are erased from memory, and in fact they often have a very important meaning. That is why the Literaguru team decided to create a brief retelling of this book for their readers.
(633 words) Twenty-four-year-old nobleman Yevgeny Onegin travels from St. Petersburg to the village of his dying rich uncle. Educated and intelligent, he complains of boredom, despite the fact that he leads a life full of secular exits and love affairs. Always combed and dressed in fashion, Onegin is a welcome guest of any welcome.
After the next ball, Onegin realizes that everything bored him. He is possessed by the spleen, and attempts to captivate himself with reading or writing are unsuccessful.
Eugene, having received a rich inheritance from his uncle, moves to the village, where his spirit perked up a bit. True, this did not last long; soon Onegin is getting bored here too.
He meets Lensky, an eighteen-year-old admirer of Kant, a poet and an ingenuous handsome. He tells Eugene about his love for Olga Larina. There is also a mention that her older sister - Tatyana - is not at all like her younger one: she prefers loneliness and reading foreign novels.
Once Lensky decides to visit the Larins; Onegin, because of boredom, joins a friend. On the way back, Onegin speaks unflattering about the object of Lensky’s love and says that in the place of Vladimir he would choose an older sister.
After the visit of friends, Tatyana herself was not her own: she thinks about Onegin, talks with the nanny about love, and decides to write a letter in French about her feelings. In the morning she asks the nanny to send a letter to Eugene and remains in the longing waiting for an answer. Soon Lensky arrives, followed by Onegin. He is touched by Tatiana’s sincerity, but having no reciprocal feelings, he turns to the girl with a “confession” that he was not created for bliss. Soon, “confession” becomes a “sermon” in which Onegin advises Tatiana to restrain her feelings, otherwise they will bring her to trouble. Tatiana listens to him in tears and "fades, turns pale, goes out."
Onegin indulges in village life and continues to communicate with Lensky. Soon, his friend gives Eugene an invitation in the name of Tatiana, while talking about Olga and the emerging wedding.
Christmas time comes, during which Tatyana, who believed in fortune telling and signs, wants to bewitch, but, frightened, goes to bed. She has a strange dream in which Onegin kills Lensky.
Name Day is marked by the arrival of guests and the arrival of Onegin. This introduces Tatyana into the jitters, which Onegin annoys. Resentful of Lensky, not understanding why he called him on a holiday, Eugene decides to take revenge on him and flirts with Olga, dances with her. Lensky, trying to invite Olga to the dance, hears the answer that the bride has already promised to dance with Onegin. The offended Vladimir leaves and in the morning challenges Onegin to a duel.
Eugene accepts the challenge, although he understands that he acted stupidly and is to blame for what happened. Vladimir comes to the Larins, Olga greets him cheerfully and as if nothing had happened. Lensky is touched, but he is obliged to fulfill his duty and protect his beloved from the "corruption". Tatiana does not know anything, Lensky and Onegin do not talk about a duel.
In the evening, Lensky writes farewell poems. He comes first to a duel and waits a long time for Onegin to overslept. In seconds, the first took his friend, Zaretsky, the second - the servant of Guillot.
"Enemies" are preparing at the beginning of the duel. Both understand that the reason is not worth the death of one of them, but they can no longer stop the course of events. Onegin kills Lensky. His grave was forgotten.
Olga soon fell in love with Lancer and left home with him. Tatyana continues to think about Onegin, often comes to the empty estate of Eugene and reads books. Margin marks help her better understand who she once adored.
Mother takes Tatyana to the “brides' fair” in Moscow, where she is noticed by an important general.
After more than two years, a similarly alienated Onegin appears at a social event in Petrburg. There he meets Tatyana, changed, prettier and so cold. She is the wife of the general, the princess. Onegin turns out to be a friend of her husband. Having received an invitation from the latter, Onegin thinks of Tatyana. He fell in love! Onegin writes her confessions, but Tatyana remains impregnable.
One day, Onegin goes to Tatyana and finds her reading a letter and crying. Now she is already giving Onegin a sermon in which she admits that she still loves Eugene, but ... "I have been given to another; I will be faithful to him for a century, ”the girl says and leaves, leaving Onegin forever.
