Acquaintance with the kisser Nikolai Ivanovich
The scene of the work is a small villageKotlovka, lying on the slope of the hill, which is cut by a deep ravine. Not far from the beginning of this large hollow there is a hut covered with straw. This is the local pub "Pritynny", which is kept by the tavern Nikolai Ivanovich. He is a burly, graying man with a full face and small eyes. He lives in this area for more than 20 years. He knows everything that's happening here, but he never tells anyone. What is interesting, the owner of the tavern does not differ either with affability or talk. However, he has an extraordinary talent to attract guests to his institution. Nikolai Ivanovich is married and has children. He has respect from neighbors. Summary of Turgenev's "Singers" begins with an episode of acquaintance with a man who runs the institution, where an unusual match in singing takes place.
Getting to know the zucchini visitors
One day an event occurred in the tavern zucchini,gaze at which gathered all the local drunkards. The best singer in Kotlovka Yashka Turk decided to compete in singing with a rower from Zhizdra. The guests of the tavern eagerly awaited the match. There were also Evgraf Ivanov, whom the people called Obolduy. Without him, there is not a single booze. And the Wild Barin is a broad-shouldered Tatar with black hair and a fierce expression. Nobody knew what he was doing, and where he got the money. However, he was highly respected in the local society. This strange man with unkind eyes was a big fan of singing. Morgach came here as well, a small fat man with evil eyes. To contain the full description of the gathered public will not allow a short content of "Singers". Turgenev in this work draws images of people completely different, but united by one common passion - love of music and singing.
A contest in singing
Competitors - Yashka Turk and rower - were alsohere. The first of them was a slender young man of 23 years old. His big gray eyes and blond curls were cute to the audience. Yashka was a drawer at a local factory. His opponent, a rower from Zhizdra, was a short, dense man of about thirty with a pockmarked face and a thin beard. He sang first. His voice was pleasant, sweet, with a slight hoarse voice. The rowman was singing a merry dance song with overflows and transitions, which caused a smile among listeners. They liked his singing very much. Ryadchik was confident of his victory. After him, Yashka began to sing. Summary of Turgenev's "Singers" makes readers feel curious about the results of the singing competition.
Victory of Jacob
Before singing, Yashka closed himself with all his hand. And when he opened, his face was pale. The first sound that escaped from his chest was weak and deaf. But the second one was louder and louder. The song was sad, melancholy. His voice was a little cracked, painful. Everything was there: youth, sadness, passion, strength, grief, in a word, everything that is so familiar and dear to the Russian soul. Yashka sang with excitement, giving himself up to the song and forgetting about the audience. When he finished, he saw tears in the eyes of many listeners. And someone, for example the wife of the taverner, even sobbed, turned away from everyone. It was clear that Yashka had won. The rowman himself admitted defeat. On this day, long in the tavern celebrated the victory of the singer Yashka. This episode ended his story Turgenev. "Singers" is a work in which, with the wretchedness of life, the miracle of creativity and the desire to see beauty in this world adjoins. It is good that people, seemingly tired of everyday life and poverty, are able to discern a real talent in a person. This singing gift makes the hearts of others tremble and cry.
