Cлово "KIRILLOVITCH"

Часть текста: of his whole life, as his swan-song. He died, it is true, nine months later of rapid consumption, so that he had the right, as it turned out, to compare himself to a swan singing his last song. He had put his whole heart and all the brain he had into that speech. And poor Ippolit Kirillovitch unexpectedly revealed that at least some feeling for the public welfare and "the eternal question" lay concealed in him. Where his speech really excelled was in its sincerity. He genuinely believed in the prisoner's guilt; he was accusing him not as an official duty only, and in calling for vengeance he quivered with a genuine passion "for the security of society." Even the ladies in thee audience, though they remained hostile to Ippolit Kirillovitch, admitted that he made an extraordinary impression on them. He began in a breaking voice, but it soon gained strength and filled the court to the end of his speech. But as soon as he had finished, he almost fainted. "Gentlemen of the jury," began the prosecutor, "this case has made a stir throughout Russia. But what is there to wonder at, what is there so peculiarly horrifying in it for us? We are so accustomed to such crimes! That's what's so horrible, that such dark deeds have ceased to horrify us. What ought to horrify us is that we are so accustomed to it, and not this or that isolated crime. What are the causes of our indifference, our lukewarm attitude to such deeds, to such signs of the times, ominous of an unenviable future? Is it our cynicism, is it the premature exhaustion of intellect and imagination in a society that is sinking into decay, in spite of its youth? Is it that our moral principles are shattered to their foundations, or is it, perhaps, a complete lack of such principles among us? I cannot answer such questions; nevertheless they are disturbing, and every citizen not only must, but ought to be harassed by them. Our newborn and still timid press has...

Часть текста: he seems to have hardly thought of this formidable rival. But he had looked upon him as a remote danger, and Karamazov always lives in the present. Possibly he regarded him as a fiction. But his wounded heart grasped instantly that the woman had been concealing this new rival and deceiving him, because he was anything but a fiction to her, because he was the one hope of her life. Grasping this instantly, he resigned himself. "Gentlemen of the jury, I cannot help dwelling on this unexpected trait in the prisoner's character. He suddenly evinces an irresistible desire for justice, a respect for woman and a recognition of her right to love. And all this at the very moment when he had stained his hands with his father's blood for her sake! It is true that the blood he had shed was already crying out for vengeance, for, after having ruined his soul and his life in this world, he was forced to ask himself at that same instant what he was and what he could be now to her, to that being, dearer to him than his own soul, in comparison with that former lover who had returned penitent, with new love, to the woman he had once betrayed, with honourable offers, with the promise of a reformed and happy life. And he, luckless man, what could he give her now, what could he offer her? "Karamazov felt all this, knew that all ways were barred to him by his crime and that he was a criminal under sentence, and not a man with life before him! This thought...

Часть текста: auditorio fue su sinceridad. Creía realmente que Mitia era culpable, y no obraba solamente por cumplir su deber, sino también llevado del deseo de salvar a la sociedad. Incluso las damas, generalmente hostiles a Hipólito Kirillovitch, admitieron que había causado excelente impresión. Empezó con cierta inseguridad, pero su voz se afirmó muy pronto y se hizo tan potente que llegó incluso al rincón más apartado de la sala. Pero apenas terminó, estuvo a punto de desvanecerse. Éste fue su discurso: -Señores del jurado: este asunto ha tenido resonancia en toda Rusia. Pero, bien mirado, no hay razón para que nos sorprendamos ni nos asustemos. Acaso no estamos habituados a estos hechos? Ya casi no nos conmueven. Lo que nos debe inquietar es esta indiferencia y no la perversidad de tal o cual individuo. A qué se debe que permanezcamos poco menos que insensibles ante estos hechos que nos presagian un sombrío porvenir? Hay que atribuir esta indiferencia a la osadía, al agotamiento prematuro de la inteligencia y la imaginación de nuestra sociedad, joven todavía, pero ya débil; al relajamiento de nuestros principios morales o la ausencia total de tales principios? Dejo sin contestar estas preguntas que requieren la atención de todos los ciudadanos. Nuestra prensa, pese a su timidez, ha prestado buenos servicios a la sociedad, ya que, gracias a ella, todo el mundo está enterado de la inmoralidad y el desenfreno que reinan en nuestro país; todo el mundo y no sólo los que acuden a presenciar las audiencias, que han abierto sus puertas al ...

Часть текста: rigurosamente histórica preferido por todos los oradores nerviosos, los cuales procuran desenvolverse en ámbitos limitados a fin de poner freno a su fogosidad. Al llegar a este punto de su discurso, habló extensamente del primer amante, "cuyo derecho es indiscutible", y expuso una serie de ideas interesantes. Karamazov, celoso de todos hasta la ferocidad, se retira y desaparece ante el primer amante, "el indiscutible". -Esto es sumamente extraño, sobre todo si tenemos en cuenta que antes no había prestado atención al peligro que para él suponía este poderoso rival. Ello se debe a que el acusado vela este peligro como algo remoto, y a él sólo le preocupan las cosas presentes. Sin duda, lo consideraba como una cosa irreal. Pero, de pronto, comprende que el reciente engaño de su amada procede del hecho de que el nuevo rival no es un mero capricho para ella, sino toda su esperanza y toda su vida, y entonces, al comprender esto, se resigna. Señores del jurado: no puedo dejar de mencionar esta actitud inesperada de Dmitri Fiodorovitch Karamazov, que experimenta de pronto una sed de verdad, la necesidad imperiosa de respetar a la mujer amada y reconocer los derechos de su corazón, precisamente en el momento en que por ella acababa de mancharse las...

Часть текста: entre ellos los dignatarios. El presidente se resignó y esperó unos momentos para hacer sonar la campanilla. Ante esta actitud, una de las damas comentó: -Interrumpir esta explosión de entusiasmo habría sido una profanación. Incluso el orador estaba sinceramente emocionado. Entonces se levantó Hipólito Kirillovitch para replicar. Se concentraron en él miradas de odio. -Cómo se atreve a contestar? -murmuraron las damas. Pero ni estos rumores ni los de todas las damas del mundo, sin excluir a su esposa, habrían podido contener al fiscal. Estaba pálido y temblaba de emoción. Sus primeras palabras fueron incomprensibles. Jadeaba, se le trababa la lengua, no conseguía expresarse con claridad. Pero este segundo discurso fue breve. Me limitaré a citar algunos de sus párrafos. -... Se me acusa de que en mi discurso hay mucho de novela; pero acaso no peca de lo mismo el informe del abogado defensor? Sólo le ha faltado hablar en verso. Fiodor Pavlovitch, mientras espera a su amada, rasga el sobre y lo arroja al suelo. La defensa incluso cita las palabras que el viejo pronuncia en este momento. No es esto un poema? Qué prueba hay de que sacó el dinero? Quién oyó lo que dijo? Y ese imbécil de Smerdiakov convertidó en una especie de héroe romántico que odia a la sociedad por su condición de hijo...

Часть текста: us that the prisoner is out of his mind and, in fact, a maniac. I maintain that he is in his right mind, and that if he had not been, he would have behaved more cleverly. As for his being a maniac, that I would agree with, but only in one point, that is, his fixed idea about the three thousand. Yet I think one might find a much simpler cause than his tendency to insanity. For my part I agree thoroughly with the young doctor who maintained that the prisoner's mental faculties have always been normal, and that he has only been irritable and exasperated. The object of the prisoner's continual and violent anger was not the sum itself; there was a special motive at the bottom of it. That motive is jealousy!" Here Ippolit Kirillovitch described at length the prisoner's fatal passion for Grushenka. He began from the moment when the prisoner went to the "young person's" lodgings "to beat her" -- "I use his own expression," the prosecutor explained -- "but instead of beating her, he remained there, at her feet. That was the beginning of the passion. At the same time the prisoner's father was captivated by the same young person -- a strange and fatal coincidence, for they both lost their hearts to her simultaneously, though both had known her before. And she inspired in both of them the most violent, characteristically Karamazov passion. We have her own confession: 'I was laughing at both of them. ' Yes, the sudden desire to make a jest of them came over her, and she conquered both of them at once. The old man, who worshipped money, at once set aside three thousand roubles as a reward for one visit from her, but soon after that, he would have been happy to lay his property and his name at her feet, if only she would become his lawful wife. We have good evidence of this. As for the prisoner, the tragedy of his fate is evident; it is before us. But such was the young person's 'game. ' The enchantress gave the...

Часть текста: to do so. We on our side, will do everything in our power, and you can see for yourself how we are conducting the case. You approve, Ippolit Kirillovitch?" He turned to the prosecutor. "Oh, undoubtedly," replied the prosecutor. His tone was somewhat cold, compared with Nikolay Parfenovitch's impulsiveness. I will note once for all that Nikolay Parfenovitch, who had but lately arrived among us, had from the first felt marked respect for Ippolit Kirillovitch, our prosecutor, and had become almost his bosom friend. He was almost the only person who put implicit faith in Ippolit Kirillovitch's extraordinary talents as a psychologist and orator and in the justice of his grievance. He had heard of him in Petersburg. On the other hand, young Nikolay Parfenovitch was the only person in the whole world whom our "unappreciated" prosecutor genuinely liked. On their way to Mokroe they had time to come to an understanding about the present case. And now as they sat at the table, the sharp-witted junior caught and interpreted every indication on his senior colleague's face -- half a word, a glance, or a wink. "Gentlemen, only let me tell my own story and don't interrupt me with trivial questions and I'll tell you everything in a moment," said Mitya excitedly. "Excellent! Thank you. But before we proceed to listen to your communication, will you allow me to inquire as to another little fact of great interest to us? I mean the ten roubles you borrowed yesterday at about five o'clock on the...

Часть текста: exasperado. Considero que su continua excitación no procedía sólo de la supuesta pérdida de tres mil rublos, sino que tenía otra causa: los celos. Al llegar a este punto, el fiscal habló extensamente de la fatal pasión del acusado por Gruchegnka. Empezó su relato por el momento en que Dmitri Fiodor Pavlovitch se presentó en casa de Gruchegnka "con ánimo de pegarle", según sus propias palabras. Pero, en vez de maltratarla, cayó a sus pies. -Tal fue el comienzo de este amor -continuó el fiscal-. Casi al mismo tiempo, el padre del acusado se prenda de Agrafena Alejandrovna. Coincidencia fatidica, y sorprendente, ya que los dos la habían conocido hacía algún tiempo. Los dos corazones se inflamaban de pasión, como es propio de los Karamazov. Nuestra joven ha dicho que se burlaba de uno y otro. De pronto se le ocurrió divertirse así y acabó por subyugarlos a los dos. El viejo, a pesar de su pasión por el dinero, decide entregar tres mil rublos a su amada si acude a su casa, y pronto cifra su felicidad en casarse con ella. Varios testigos nos han confirmado este anhelo. En cuanto al amor del acusado, todos sabemos lo que esta pasión le hizo sufrir. Era lo que ella deseaba. Nuestra sirena no dio ninguna esperanza a su infortunado pretendiente hasta el último momento, hasta que lo vio de rodillas ante ella y tendiéndole los brazos la noche en que lo detuvieron. Entonces exclamó sinceramente arrepentida: " Llevadme a presidio con él! Mía es la culpa! Yo lo he empujado al ...

Часть текста: (English. Братья Карамазовы). Part III. Book IX. The Preliminary Investigation. Chapter 8.The Evidences of the Witnesses. The Babe Chapter 8 The Evidences of the Witnesses. The Babe THE examination of the witnesses began. But we will not continue our story in such detail as before. And so we will not dwell on how Nikolay Parfenovitch impressed on every witness called that he must give his evidence in accordance with truth and conscience, and that he would afterwards have to repeat his evidence on oath, how every witness was called upon to sign the protocol of his evidence, and so on. We will only note that the point principally insisted upon in the examination was the question of the three thousand roubles; that is, was the sum spent here, at Mokroe, by Mitya on the first occasion, a month before, three thousand or fifteen hundred? And again had he spent three thousand or fifteen hundred yesterday? Alas, all the evidence given by everyone turned out to be against Mitya. There was not one in his favour, and some witnesses introduced new, almost crushing facts, in contradiction of his, Mitya's, story. The first witness examined was Trifon Borissovitch. He was not in the least abashed as he stood before the lawyers. He had, on the contrary, an air of stern and severe indignation with the accused, which gave him an appearance of truthfulness and personal dignity. He spoke little, and with reserve, waited to be questioned, answered precisely and deliberately. Firmly and unhesitatingly he bore witness that the sum spent a month before could not have been less than three thousand, that all the peasants about here would testify that they had heard the sum of three thousand mentioned by Dmitri...

Часть текста: completely shared our conviction of his brother's guilt and did not attempt to combat that idea. But of that later. The younger brother has admitted that he has not the slightest fact to support his notion of Smerdyakov's guilt, and has only been led to that conclusion from the prisoner's own words and the expression of his face. Yes, that astounding piece of evidence has been brought forward twice to-day by him. Madame Svyetslov was even more astounding. 'What the prisoner tells you, you must believe; he is not a man to tell a lie. ' That is all the evidence against Smerdyakov produced by these three persons. who are all deeply concerned in the prisoner's fate. And yet the theory of Smerdyakov's guilt has been noised about, has been and is still maintained. Is it credible? Is it conceivable?" Here Ippolit Kirillovitch thought it necessary to describe the personality of Smerdyakov, "who had cut short his life in a fit of insanity." He depicted him as a man of weak intellect, with a smattering of education, who had been thrown off his balance by philosophical ideas above his level and certain modern theories of duty, which he...
