His story “Asya” by I.S. Turgenev wrote “with passion, inspiration, very fervently, almost with tears.” The childhood story of the heroine, the illegitimate daughter of a nobleman, resembles the fate of Polina, the daughter of Turgenev himself, who was raised first on his mother’s estate, then in the family of Polina Viardot.

Hello, humble corner of the German soil, with ubiquitous traces of diligent hands, patient, although unhurried work... Hello and peace!

“It was as if Asya was sitting on the ledge... Her slender appearance was clearly and beautifully depicted in the clear sky... “She wants to surprise us,” I thought, “what is this for? What kind of childish trick is this?” She suddenly cast a quick and piercing glance at me and laughed again. Her movements were very cute, but I was annoyed with her..."

The illuminated window on the third floor knocked and opened, and we saw Asya’s dark head. “I’m here,” Asya said, coquettishly leaning her elbows on the window, “I feel good here.” For you, take it,” she added, throwing Gagina a branch of geranium, “imagine that I am the lady of your heart.”

“I looked into this soul: a secret oppression was constantly pressing on her, her inexperienced pride was anxiously confused and beating, but her whole being strove for the truth. This strange girl attracted me not only with the semi-wild charm spread throughout her thin body - I liked her soul.”

“... Let's go, let's go... I'll ask my brother to play us a waltz... We'll imagine that we're flying, that we've grown wings...” A few moments later we were spinning in the cramped room to the sweet sounds of Lanner. Asya waltzed beautifully, with enthusiasm.

“What I felt was not that vague, recently experienced feeling of all-encompassing desires, when the soul expands, sounds, when it seems to it that it understands everything and loves everything... No! The thirst for happiness was kindled in me.”

... I looked at her: there was something touchingly helpless in her timid immobility. My heart melted... “Asya,” I said barely audibly... She slowly raised her eyes to me. Oh, the look of a woman who has fallen in love - who can describe you? They begged, these eyes, they trusted, asked... I could not resist their charm and pressed myself to her hand...
Slide 10
I quickly descended from the vineyard and rushed into the city..., walked around all the streets, returned to the Rhine and ran along the shore. I felt more than just fear... no, I felt remorse, the most burning regret, love - yes! The most tender love. I wrung my hands, I called out to Asya in the middle of the approaching night; I repeated a hundred times that I loved her, I swore never to part with her; I would give everything in the world to hold her again cold hand, hear her quiet voice...
Slide 11
One word... Oh, I'm crazy! I didn’t tell her, I didn’t tell her that I loved her... I didn’t see them anymore. I didn’t see Asya... Not a single eye replaced those eyes that were once lovingly fixed on me, to no one’s heart, falling to my chest, did my heart respond with such joyful and sweet fading... I keep the dried up like a shrine a geranium flower, the same flower that she once threw to me from the window.
SHORT PLOT Written far from Russia, the story tells about the events that took place in a small German town. A certain gentleman meets a girl, falls in love with a dog, dreams of happiness, but immediately does not dare to offer her his hand, and having decided, he finds out that the girl has left, disappearing from his life forever.
Asya is the daughter of a nobleman and a serf peasant woman. Her mother was a proud woman and did not allow her father to take part in raising her daughter. After the death of her mother, the girl from the peasant hut ended up in her father's manor house. Since childhood, Asya realized the complexity of her situation. The girl developed a strong sense of pride and distrust, her peasant simplicity disappeared, but some bad habits took root. Despite all the vicissitudes of fate, the girl grew up very attractive. She has a darkish-round face with a small thin nose, almost childish cheeks and large black eyes. Asya is very mobile and does not sit still for a minute. There is something incomprehensible and mysterious in Asya’s behavior. Often her actions are daring and defiant.
Mr. N.N., a young man of about twenty-five, an attractive and wealthy nobleman, travels around Europe “without any purpose or plan.” In almost every town he has a lady of his heart. In one German town, the hero meets Asya and Gagin. A good relationship develops between them. A strong feeling gradually arises between Asya and N. The heroine is ready to do anything for love, but N. was afraid of responsibility.
The content of “Asia” is not limited to the psychological study of a certain social phenomenon. The story also touches on problems that are timeless, non-social in nature, and, above all, the problem of true and false values. Even in episodes not directly related to the movement of the plot, Turgenev sought to express his sense of the richness of the world, the beauty of man, who “is the highest moral value.” The limitations of reason and the disharmony of human relationships are contrasted in the story with the life of the soul, its ability to reject the false and strive for the true.
After reading the story, I see that Turgenev loves his heroine very much. I also like Asya. But I think it will be difficult for her to find her place in life. It was as if she had sailed from one shore, but did not land on the other... This duality of her position will prevent Asya from communicating with people and building her family. This can be seen in her attitude towards N.N. Asya fell in love deeply, strongly and recklessly. But such a girl needs either everything or nothing. And not finding N.N. in the heart. With the same reciprocal feeling, Asya leaves forever without saying goodbye.

All of Turgenev’s prose is permeated by Pushkin’s motifs. Pushkin was the most important reference point in Russian literature for Turgenev. No less important for Turgenev was the German literary and philosophical tradition, primarily in the person of I.V. Goethe; It is no coincidence that Asya takes place in Germany. The main features of a love story are a small circle of characters. Love stories are also often called “elegiac” not only for the poetry of feeling and the beauty of landscape sketches, but also for their characteristic motifs, which turn from lyrical to plot. With purely romantic idealism, Turgenev's heroes demand everything or nothing from life. All of Turgenev’s prose is permeated by Pushkin’s motifs.

If the author makes the image of Gagin completely clear to the reader, then his sister appears as a riddle, the solution to which N.N. gets carried away first with curiosity, and then selflessly, but still cannot comprehend it to the end. Her extraordinary liveliness is bizarrely combined with timid shyness caused by her illegitimacy and long life in the village. This is where her unsociability and pensive dreaminess stem from (remember how she loves to be alone, constantly runs away from her brother and N.N., and on the first evening of meeting her she goes to her place.

It is very difficult to form a complete picture of Asya’s character: she is the embodiment of uncertainty and variability. (“What a chameleon is this girl!” involuntarily exclaims N.N.) Either she is shy of a stranger, then she suddenly bursts out laughing (“Asya, as if on purpose, as soon as she saw me, burst out laughing for no reason and, according to her habit, immediately ran away." Either she climbs the ruins and sings songs loudly, which is completely indecent for a society young lady, then she begins to portray a well-bred person, prim in maintaining decorum.

After listening to the reading of Goethe's poem "Herman and Dorothea", she wants to seem homely and sedate, like Dorothea. Then she “imposes fasting and repentance on herself” and turns into a Russian provincial girl. It is impossible to say at what point she is no longer herself. Her image shimmers, shimmering with different colors, strokes, and intonations. The rapid change of her moods is aggravated by the fact that Asya often acts inconsistently with her own feelings and desires.

The image of Asya expands endlessly, because the elemental, natural principle reveals itself in her. Asya's amazing diversity and liveliness, irresistible charm, freshness and passion stem precisely from here. Her timid “wildness” also characterizes her as a “natural person”, far from society. When Asya is sad, shadows “run across her face,” like clouds across the sky, and her love is compared to a thunderstorm, as if having guessed N.N.’s thoughts, and the heroine shows her “Russianness.” The image of Asya expands endlessly, because the elemental, natural principle reveals itself in her.

In Asya’s imagination there are sublime human aspirations, lofty moral ideals do not contradict the hope of achieving personal happiness; on the contrary, they presuppose each other. In Asya’s imagination, lofty human aspirations and high moral ideals do not contradict the hope of achieving personal happiness; on the contrary, they presuppose each other. She is demanding of herself and needs help to achieve her aspirations. Asya’s “wildness” is especially evident when she climbs alone through the ruins of a knight’s castle overgrown with bushes. When she, laughing, jumps on them, “like a goat.” she fully reveals her closeness to the natural world. Even her appearance at this moment speaks of the wild unbridledness of a natural being: “as if she had guessed my thoughts, she suddenly cast a quick and piercing glance at me, laughed again, jumped off the wall in two leaps. A strange smile slightly twitched her eyebrows, nostrils and lips; dark eyes squinted.
