Remember the first lines of "Moidodyr" KorneyChukovsky, how from my mother's bedroom ran a bow-legged and lame washstand? In childhood we took it very seriously and did not ask unnecessary questions to ourselves or to adults. Yes, everything around us is alive: the washstand, the cups, and the teapot ... But with age this bright, clean, unclouded world begins to dim, fade, becoming a banal fiction. However, not all. There are rare exceptions. One of them is the writer Mikhail Osorgin. “Pensna” is a story about the wonderful world of “living” things in the life of an adult.
The story of Mikhail Osorgin “Pensna” is written fromauthor name. But here, in the first line, he introduces the reader to the true main characters - things. Watches, books, glass, thermometer, coat ... The list is endless, but not worth it - we know it perfectly well. But do we know each other well? Things, definitely, yes. And we? Do we know that they live their own lives? The author does not even doubt this and is sure that the reader is with him. After all, it is impossible not to hear the endless walking hours. It is impossible not to see how the scissors pulled apart screaming. And only an insensitive person will deny that the teapot is the most good-natured comedian, and the hanging coat always has some kind of “pathetic little soul and light intoxication”.
We continue the summary of the Pensna.Of particular interest are certain movements of things. Usually we explain them with our distraction, forgetfulness, or even ordinary theft. But no, this can not be. In the life of things there is a certain passion for travel. Some leave for a minute, others for an hour, two, and others for a day, a week, a month. There are also exceptional cases when they disappear forever, such as the historical work of Titus Libya or the blue diamond. But these are still historical cases. However, using the example of small objects — a box of matches, a pencil, a button — it is easier to grasp the outer signs of this independence. We read further the humorous story, which was created by M. Osorgin, - “Pensna”. The main characters will surprise us more than once.
The same amazing case occurred at the author.and with pince-nez. One day he was sitting in a chair, reading peacefully, unaware of anything. I got to the new chapter and decided to wipe the glass, took out a handkerchief, and looking - the pince-nez was gone. Inspection of the place of disappearance was the most thorough. The pockets, clothes, all the grooves in the chair, the sheets in the book, the floor were checked. Moreover, the search was carried out in the next room, and even in the bathroom. A week passed, but the author continued to search. Some laughed at him, others tried to sincerely help. The servants swept away all possible and impossible dust particles. I got to the black staircase - but, alas, the fugitive was never found.
Summary "Pensna" - the story of M.Osorgin - does not end there. After some time, when a new pince-nez was already sitting on the nose, the author was sitting in the same chair, but with a different book. As usual, he took a simple pencil to draw back the most intelligent places, and suddenly the pencil falls. Still under the unpleasant impression of a recent escape, he rushed after the new runaway. But the fear turned out to be false. The pencil lay quietly on the floor, and next to it, firmly pressed against the wall, two glasses flashed.
You can certainly argue that this is justridiculous omission, oversight, distraction. But the pitiful sight of the "fugitive", his guilty gleaming with dull, dusty glass, suggested the opposite. Pensney went on an independent journey. It walked and had fun, and had fun for a long time, until it was tired and weak. Here comes the end of the summary of Pensna.
By the way, pince-nez ended its lifetragically - it fell, and its glass scattered into small pieces. Maybe this is an accident, and maybe "suicide." After all, the author put him in public disgrace when he forced him to stand at the wall all day, and showed the "runaway" to all his acquaintances, friends and servants ...
I would like to remind you that the summaryPensney, a wonderful story by Mikhail Osorgin, cannot convey the peculiar humor of the writer, his unique, subtle figurative comparisons. Therefore, reading the original is highly recommended.
