Cлово "VERSILOV"

Часть текста: was a favourite niece of Andronikov and was brought up by him, and from her I learnt that Kraft had actually been "commissioned" to give me something. I had been expecting him for a whole month. He lived in a little flat of two rooms quite apart from the rest of the house, and at the moment, having only just returned, he had no servant. His trunk stood open, not yet unpacked. His belongings lay about on the chairs, and were spread out on the table in front of the sofa: his travelling bag, his cashbox, his revolver and so on. As we went in, Kraft seemed lost in thought, as though he had altogether forgotten me. He had perhaps not noticed that I had not spoken to him on the way. He began looking for something at once, but happening to catch a glimpse of himself in the looking-glass he stood still for a full minute gazing at his own face. Though I noticed this peculiar action, and recalled it all afterwards, I was depressed and disturbed. I was not feeling equal to concentrating my mind. For a moment I had a sudden impulse to go straight away and to give it all up for ever. And after all what did all these things amount to in reality? Was it not simply an unnecessary worry I had taken upon myself? I sank into despair at the thought that I was wasting so much energy perhaps on worthless trifles from mere sentimentality, while I had facing me a task that called for all my powers. And meanwhile my incapacity for any real work was clearly obvious from what had happened at Dergatchev's. "Kraft, shall you go to them again?" I asked him suddenly. He turned slowly to me as though hardly understanding me. I sat down on a chair. "Forgive them," said Kraft suddenly. I fancied, of course, that this was a sneer, but looking attentively at him, I saw such a strange and even...

Часть текста: IV I Kraft había tenido en tiempos un cargo oficial, y además ayudaba al difunto Andronikov (mediante una remuneración) a tratar ciertos asuntos privados de los que el último se ocupaba constantemente fuera de las horas de servicio. Lo que a mí me importaba era que Kraft, dada su intimidad con Andronikov, podía estar enterado de ciertas cosas que por su índole me interesaban. Pero yo sabía por María Ivanovna, mujer de Nicolás Semenovitch, en cuya casa yo había vivido tantos años mientras estaba en el Instituto - y que era la propia sobrina, la pupila y la favorita de Andronikov -, que Kraft había incluso recibido el "encargo" de entregarme algo. Yo lo estaba aguardando desde hacía un mes largo. Vivía en un pequeño apartamiento de dos habitaciones completamente aislado, y, de momento, recién llegado, de vuelta de Vilna, estaba incluso sin servidumbre. Tenía abierta la maleta, pero los objetos no colocados estaban aún esparcidos sobre las sillas. Una mesa, delante del diván, sostenía un maletín, un cofrecillo, un revólver, etc... Cuando entramos, Kraft iba sumergido en sus pensamientos, como si me hubiese olvidado...

Часть текста: y las dos lloraban. Me levanté y me precipité a abrazar a mi madre. Toda radiante, me besó y me hizo tres veces la señal de la cruz con la mano derecha. No habíamos pronunciado ni una palabra, cuando la puerta se abrió: Versilov y Vassine entraron. Mi madre inmediatamente se levantó, llevándose a la vecina. Vassine me tendió la mano; Versilov no me dijo una palabra y se dejó caer en la butaca. Mi madre y él estaban allí seguramente desde hacía algún tiempo. Su rostro estaba tenso y preocupado. -Lo que más lamento - le explicaba lentamente a Vassine, continuando sin duda la conversación comenzada - es no haber podido arreglar todo eso ayer tarde. Esta terrible historia no habría sucedido sin duda! Apenas ella se escapó de mi casa, decidí por mi parte seguirla hasta aquí y sacarla de su error, pero ese asunto imprevisto y urgente, que además habría podido muy bien aplazar hasta hoy... a incluso durante una semana, ese lamentable asunto ha impedido todo y todo lo ha estropeado. Las cosas que pasan! -Tal vez no hubiera usted conseguido convencerla. Aparte de usted, había ya mucho rencor acumulado - observó incidentalmente ~ Vassine. -No, yo habría triunfado. Seguramente habría triunfado. Tenía incluso una idea en la cabeza, enviar en mi lugar a Sofía Andreievna. La idea me atravesó el espíritu, pero no hizo más que atravesarlo. Sofía Andreievna habría triunfado y la desgraciada estaría todavía viva. No, jamás me meteré... en "buenas acciones..." Para una vez que me he metido! Y yo que pensaba que era aún ...

Часть текста: right hand. Before we had time to say a word the door opened, and Versilov and Vassin came in. My mother at once got up and led the bereaved woman away. Vassin gave me his hand, while Versilov sank into an armchair without saying a word to me. Mother and he had evidently been here for some time. His face looked overcast and careworn. "What I regret most of all," he began saying slowly to Vassin, evidently in continuation of what they had been discussing outside, "is that I had no time to set it all right yesterday evening; then probably this terrible thing would not have happened! And indeed there was time, it was hardly eight o'clock. As soon as she ran away from us last night, I inwardly resolved to follow her and to reassure her, but this unforeseen and urgent business, though of course I might quite well have put it off till to-day. . . or even for a week--this vexatious turn of affairs has hindered and ruined everything. That's just how things do happen!" "Perhaps you would not have succeeded in reassuring her; things had gone too far already, apart from you," Vassin put in. "No, I should have succeeded, I certainly should have succeeded. And the idea did occur to me to send Sofia Andreyevna in my place. It...

Часть текста: past) with whom Versilov was contesting his lawsuit. It was only that they had the same name. Yet the old prince took a great interest in them, and was particularly fond of one of them who was, so to speak, the head of the family--a young officer. Versilov had till recently had an immense influence in this old man's affairs and had been his friend, a strange sort of friend, for the poor old prince, as I detected, was awfully afraid of him, not only at the time when I arrived on the scene, but had apparently been always afraid of him all through their friendship. They had not seen each other for a long time, however. The dishonourable conduct of which Versilov was accused concerned the old prince's family. But Tatyana Pavlovna had intervened and it was through her that I was placed in attendance on the old prince, who wanted a "young man" in his study. At the same time it appeared that he was very anxious to do something to please Versilov, to make, so to speak, the first advance to him, and Versilov ALLOWED it. The old man had made the arrangement in the absence of his daughter, the widow of a general, who would certainly not have permitted him to take this step. Of this later, but I may remark that the...

Часть текста: es decir, para obtener las alabanzas del lector. Si de repente se me ha ocurrido anotar palabra por palabra todo to que me ha pasado desde ei año anterior, es por una necesidad íntima: tan impresionado me he quedado por los hechos acaecídos! Me limito a registrar los acontecimientos, evitando con todas mis fuerzas lo que les es ajeno, y sobre todo los artificios literarios; un literato se lleva escribiendo treinta años, y al final ignora por qué ha escrito tanto tiempo. No soy literato ni quiero serlo. Arrastrar la intimidad de mi alma y una bonita descripción de mis sentimientos por el mercado literario sería a mis ojos una inconveniencia y una bajeza. Preveo no obstante, no sin disgusto, que será probablemente imposible evitar del todo las descripciones de sentimientos y las reflexiones (quizás incluso vulgares): tanto desmoraliza al hombre todo trabajo literario, hasta el emprendido únicamente para sí! Y estas reflexiones pueden aún ser muy vulgares, porque to que uno estima puede muy...

Часть текста: semejante categoría: " Me cisco en sus intrigas!" , pero yo lo había dicho y por eso estaba contento. Sin hablar de lo demás, estaba seguro al menos de que, por haber adoptado aquel tono, yo había borrado todo lo que había de ridículo en mi posición. Pero no tuve tiempo de pensar largamente en todo aquello: mi cerebro estaba ocupado por Kraft. No es que me atormentase mucho, pero a pesar de todo yo estaba conmovido hasta el fondo del alma; y hasta el punto de que el sentimiento ordinario de placer que experimentan los hombres en presencia de la desgracia del prójimo, por ejemplo cuando alguien se rompe una pierna, pierde el honor, se ve privado de un ser querido, etc., aquel mismo sentimiento ordinario de innoble satisfacción cedía en mí enteramente a otro sentimiento, a una sensación extremadamente imperiosa, a la pena, al dolor... si es que aquello era el dolor, lo ignoro... en todo caso a un sentimiento extremadamente poderoso y bueno. Y por aquello también estaba yo contento. Es asombrosa la multitud de ideas extrañas que pueden atravesarle a uno el espíritu precisamente cuando se está sacudido por alguna noticia colosal que debería, parece, ahogar los demás sentimientos y dispersar todas las ideas extrañas, sobre todo las ideas sin importancia; ahora bien, son éstas, por el contrario, las que se presentan. Me acuerdo de eso todavía; me vi cogido poco a poco por un temblor nervioso bastante sensible, que duró aigunos minutos a incluso todo el tiempo que permanecí en casa para explicarme con Versilov. Aquella explicación tuvo lugar en...

Часть текста: me very greatly, but yet I was shaken to my inmost depths, and so much so that the ordinary human feeling of pleasure at another man's misfortune--at his breaking his leg or covering himself with disgrace, at his losing some one dear to him, and so on--even this ordinary feeling of mean satisfaction was completely eclipsed by another absolutely single- hearted feeling, a feeling of sorrow, of compassion for Kraft--at least I don't know whether it was compassion, but it was a strong and warm-hearted feeling. And I was glad of this too. It's marvellous how many irrelevant ideas can flash through the mind at the very time when one is shattered by some tremendous piece of news, which one would have thought must overpower all other feelings and banish all extraneous thoughts, especially petty ones; yet petty ones, on the contrary, obtrude themselves. I remember, too, that I was gradually overcome by a quite perceptible nervous shudder, which lasted several minutes, in fact all the time I was at home and talking to Versilov. This interview followed under strange and exceptional circumstances. I had mentioned already that we lived in a separate lodge in the courtyard; this lodging was marked "No. 13." Before I had entered the gate I heard a woman's voice asking loudly, with impatience and irritation, "Where is No. 13?" The question was asked by a lady who was standing close to the gate and had opened the ...

Часть текста: thirty years, and is quite unable to say at the end why he has been writing for all that time. I am not a professional writer and don't want to be, and to drag forth into the literary market-place the inmost secrets of my soul and an artistic description of my feelings I should regard as indecent and contemptible. I foresee, however, with vexation, that it will be impossible to avoid describing feelings altogether and making reflections (even, perhaps, cheap ones), so corrupting is every sort of literary pursuit in its effect, even if it be undertaken only for one's own satisfaction. The reflections may indeed be very cheap, because what is of value for oneself may very well have no value for others. But all this is beside the mark. It will do for a preface, however. There will be nothing more of the sort. Let us get to work, though there is nothing more difficult than to begin upon some sorts of work--perhaps any sort of work. 2 I am beginning--or rather, I should like to begin--these notes from the 19th of September of last year, that is, from the very day I first met. . . But to explain so prematurely who it was I met before anything else is known would be...

Часть текста: first advances. As soon as all the facts came out about Prince Sergay, that is, immediately after his arrest, Liza made haste at once to take up an attitude to us, and to every one else, that would not admit of the possibility of sympathy or any sort of consolation and excuses for Prince Sergay. On the contrary, she seemed continually priding herself on her luckless lover's action as though it were the loftiest heroism, though she tried to avoid all discussion of the subject. She seemed every moment to be telling us all (though I repeat that she did not utter a word), 'None of you would do the same--you would not give yourself up at the dictates of honour and duty, none of you have such a pure and delicate conscience! And as for his misdeeds, who has not evil actions upon his conscience? Only every one conceals them, and this man preferred facing ruin to remaining ignoble in his own eyes. ' This seemed to be expressed by every gesture Liza made. I don't know, but I think in her place I should have behaved almost in the same...
