Bitter cooler brief content. Acquaintance with the main hero

The tale "Shinel" is an illustration of the sad reality of the officials of Russia.

One small official was served in one of the departments of St. Petersburg - Title Advisor Akaki Akakievich Bashmachkin. Little, low, reddish and bald. A wonderful story describes why he was called this name. At the time of the birth of Bashmachkina (March 23) in the church calendar, strange and funny names were offered: Mokkia, session, hosted, trophylis, varahasi or blown. None name liked his mother, because it was decided to call the child in honor of the Father Akakiya Akakievich.
How much I remembered in the service, he was always on the same place and did the same job. Official-collapsmen laughed at him, did not respected, even sometimes mocked. But Akaki Akakievich did not pay attention. He dedicated himself to work itself - "He served with love." He thoroughly and scrupulously rewrote the documents. Even at home took work. Bashmushkin lived and breathed work, did not imagine himself without her. Even before bedtime, all his thoughts were about work: what will God send to rewrite tomorrow? ". And besides the "rewriting" for him, "nothing existed."
Once in winter, Akaki Akakievich felt that he was somehow especially cold. Having inspected your old chinel, he saw that she completely watched his back and shoulders. The coin collar decreased from year to year, since its fabric was on the closure of defects in other parts. Having demolished the old Schinel Petrovich - one-eyed tailor, which was always not averse to drink. From him, Bashmachkin heard the verdict that the thing is not subject to recovery - "thin wardrobe!" And when the tailor said that a new chinel is needed, Akakia Akakievich "bodied in the eyes." The cost was called - "a half hundred rubles", and if with a fur for a collar or a silk lining - "and in two hundred and two". Strongly upset, Bashmushkin left the tailor and walked into the side completely opposite. He sensed only when the chipper was stained with a soot. I decided to visit the tailor again on Sunday with a request to repair, but he was again adamant. The only thing that I was pleased - Petrovich agreed to work for eighty rubles.
Akaki Akakievich over the past years of work I saved some capital - forty rubles. It was necessary to get somewhere forty to have enough for a new chinel. He decided to save and limit himself: do not drink tea in the evenings, do not light the candles in the evening, less often go to the laundry, walking carefully on the way, so as not to reject the beams, etc. Soon he was accustomed to this, he was warmed by the thought of a new, dense, firmly, "without wear" overcoats. Let's go with a tailor behind the fabric: chose very good cloth, kneecore on the lining, bought a cat fur for the collar (the cuckor was very expensive). Two weeks lasted sewing, twelve rubles cost the work of the tailor.
In one fine frosty day, Petrovich brought Akakiyevich Akakiyevich the finished product. It was the most "triumpheless" day in the life of a simple titular adviser. At the very tailored, I liked my own job, so while Bashmachkin went down the street, Petrovich looked at the chinel for a long time, and then across the lane hit the same street to look at the head of the front.
Reaching the Department, Akaki Akakievich removed Shinel, examined her once again carefully and instructed the "special supervision" to the Swiss. According to the Department, the news that Bashmachkin got a new chinel. He began to congratulate him, praise, so that Akaki Akakievich was painted. Then they said that it would be nice to wash the purchase, why Bashmachkin was completely confused. The assistant of the columnist, who, in addition, on this day was Name Day, decided to seem generosity and invited such an event in the evening to celebrate everyone. Colleagues officials willingly accepted an invitation.
All this day for Akakia Akakiyevich was filled with joy. And because of the new coin, and because of the response of colleagues, and because the evening will be the celebration, and therefore it will be a reason to walk in Schinel again. Bashmushkin did not even take the documents for rewriting home, and rested a little and went to the holiday. For a long time, he had not been evenings on the street. All shone, sparkling, beautiful showcases. As the assistant assistant approached the house, which was located, undoubtedly, in the elite part of the city, everything was brighter on the streets, and the Lord came across all the more well dressed and beautiful.
Having reached the right home. Akaki Akakievich entered a luxurious apartment on the second floor. In the front there was a number of galoshes and a whole wall of raincoats and sinels. Hanging Shinel, Akaki Akakievich entered the room where officials were bought and drunk, and also played Vist. All accepted him with a joyful cry, then went to consider the chinel again. But then quickly returned to maps and food. Bashmushkina was bored in an unusual noisy company. Drinking two glasses of champagne and had anyone, he slightly slipped into the front and quietly went out. It was light even at night. Akaki Akakievich went trot, with each new quarter everything was becoming unlucky and deserted. A long street overlapped into a wide area that looked "terrible desert." Bashmachin was frightened, sighless something unkind. He decided to cross the area with her eyes closed, and when he opened them to see if he left until the end, right in front of him turned out two healthy men with mustache. One of them took over the collar of Sineli Akakia Akakievich and said that "my sinel", and the second threatened his fist. As a result, the sinel was stolen. Bashmachkin in a panic rushed to run to the booth with a guard where the light was burning, began to ask for help and say that she was stolen. It was answered for this half a watchman that the robbers did not see, and if he saw, he thought they were familiar with Bashmushkina, and why shout. Poor Akaki Akakievich in nightmares spent this night.
Everyone recommends that the unfortunate collapsed Bashmachkina refer to different people and in different instances: then to the ward, then to a private, then to a significant person (the author deliberately allocates this position in italics). In the Department, some even in such a situation did not fail to laugh at Akakiya Akakievich, but fortunately, there were more sophisticated and compassion. Even collected some amount, but she, unfortunately, did not cover the expenditures on the chinel.
Akaki Akakievich first went to the private. For a long time they do not want to miss it, and then Bashmachkin, perhaps, for the first time in life, showed character, Velin writing him to miss his "for the official business." Private, unfortunately, did not show proper participation. Instead, I began to ask strange questions on the type "Why was so late going home" or "didn't go to some dishonest house."
Desperate Bashmachkin decides directly to go to a significant person (hereinafter referred to as the story it is clear that the face was male). Further, the author describes why a significant face became such (in the shower - a kind person, but the rank "completely confused"), how does it behave in relation to colleagues and subordinates ("Do you know who you are in front of you?"), And also how tries to strengthen its significance. He took the rigor as the basis, and the proper fear considered the ideal mechanism of the relationship of the "head-subordinate" relationship. In the circle of those who are lower than that, the significant person is afraid to seem familiar and simple, which is becoming a reputation as a boring person. A significant face is not taken for a long time Akakia Akakievich, having a broken hour battered on different topics and making long pauses in a conversation, then suddenly recalls that some official is waiting for him. Bashmachkin with timidity begins to talk about theft, but a high official begins to report it for not knowing the order of filing a request. According to a significant person, the request must first go to the office, then - to the chamber's staff, then to the head of the department, after - to the secretary and only at the end - to him. Then the campaign began, which consisted in the task of the formidable tone of the questions "Do you know and do you understand who you say?" and unreasonable reproaches in the affectionate "against chiefs and higher". Akaki Akakievich, frightened to death, lost his feelings, and a significant face was drunk by this.
Unhappy Bashmachkin did not remember how he went outside and walked home. There were a strong wind and blizzard, why Akaki Akakievich grabbed the cold ("inflated ... in the throat"). Homes came fever. The doctor said that it was left to live "a half day", and ordered the hostess of the apartment to order a pine coffin, motivating the fact that the oak will be dear. Before his death, Bashmachkina began nonsense and hallucinations about the sheel, tailor Petrovich and a significant person to which he was ahead with obscene words, "Your Excellency!".
Akaki Akakiyevich died, not leaving behind her inheritance. I buried him, St. Petersburg remained without Akakia Akakievich, as if there was no modest titular adviser at all. The most ordinary, nobody noticed and not the warm life was still in front of the end illuminated a bright event in the form of overcoats, but still ended tragically. In the Department, the place of Bashmachkina immediately took a new official, withdrawing the letters "obligon and skelo."
But the story of Akakia Akakievich does not end. In St. Petersburg, a ghost of an official appeared suddenly, who had a bridge from Kalinkina from all over her cooler without disaster. Some of the officials even argued that the ghost threw his finger. Next, the police began to act in a huge number of complaints about the "perfect cold" due to the "night turbulence of the sequins." The police set the task to catch the dead man - "living or dead", and even once at the Budoch in Kiryushkin Lane it almost turned out. It is a pity, a snuff of tobacco failed.
It is necessary to say about a significant person, more precisely, the fact that Akakievich Akakiyevich was left with him. He regretted the happening, often began to recall a little official Bashmachkina. When I learned about his death, I even experienced remorse and spent all day not in the spirit. In the evening, a high official was gathered to have fun at the familiar ladies - Carolina Ivanovna, which was held in a friendly relationship. Despite the presence of a family - a beautiful wife and two children - a significant face loved to sometimes relax from the worldly and family bustle. General sat in a carriage and looked in a warm chinel. Suddenly he felt someone grabbed him for the collar. Looking around, he learned with horror in a deathly pale man Akakia Akakievich. The dead grave, which smelled of the grave, began to demand a chinel. The general, afraid of a painful seizure, threw himself with himself and ordered the Kumor to drive faster, and not to Carolina Ivanovna.
It is noteworthy that after this case, a significant face was kinder and tolerant to subordinates, and the Ghost Bashmachkina stopped walking in St. Petersburg. Apparently, he received exactly the chinel that he wanted.

Poor official in everything refuses to buy a new chinel. After her theft, he dies, and the ghost appears on the streets, shooting fur coats with passersby.

Very brief

After this case, rumors about the dead stop. Only once the booth meets, but no longer like Akakia Akakievich.

the main idea

In the story, the main idea is an unfair attitude towards a small person - Akaky Akakivhechu. He tried to take something better for himself, and achieved only the fact that she was stolen with a chinel.

And one more main idea - to each person you need to treat good, not to refuse a rough form and appreciate the personal qualities of everyone.

Also, the main idea also includes the fact that officials are too rude to the lower layers and often use official position. It makes harm to others, and the dead Akakia Akakievich symbolizes the punishment that will be for everyone who will be bad to others. They do not appreciate the efforts of Bashmachkina to buy a chinel, because it cost tremendous effort (malnutrition, saving light, which was harmful to the health of Akakia Akakievich).

"Shinel" summary by chapters

The story that occurred with Akakiya Akakievich Bashmachkin begins with the story of his birth and the bizarre naming and proceeds to the narration of his service as a titular adviser.

Many young officials, knocking out, repairing him a document, shower with pieces of paper, pushed at hand - and only when in no shortness, he says: "Leave me, why do you offend me?" - Voice that adhesion on pity. Akaki Akakievich, whose service consists in rewriting papers, executes it with love and, even coming from her presence and rudely, takes off his jar with ink and rewrites papers brought to the house, and if there are no such, then there is no copy of the copy with Which document with an intricate address. Entertainment, the sickness of the friendship does not exist for him, "wringing to nothing, he went to bed", with a smile anticipating tomorrow, rewriting.

However, such a dimension of life violates an unforeseen incident. Once in the morning, after multiple suggestions made by St. Petersburg frost, Akaki Akakievich, having studied his chinel (so much had the idea that in the department was called her hood for a long time), notes that she completely sides on his shoulders and back. He decides to carry it to the tailor Petrovich, whose habits and biography briefly, but not without detail. Petrovich examines the hood and declares that it is impossible to fix anything, but you will have to do a new chinel. The price was shocked by Petrovich, Akaki Akakievich decides that he chose an unsuccessful time, and it comes when, on the calculations, Petrovich is fond, and therefore more conspiring. But Petrovich is on his own. Seeing that without a new coinelle could not do, Akaki Akakievich embraces how to get those eighty rubles, for which, in his opinion, Petrovich will take a job. It is decided to reduce "ordinary costs": do not drink tea in the evenings, not to light the candles, step on tiptoe, in order not to exist prematurely submits, less frequently give up the laundry laundry, but in order not to be hungry, staying at home in one bathrobe.

His life is changing perfectly: the dream of overcoats accompanies him as a pleasant girlfriend of life. Every month he visits Petrovich to talk about overcoats. The expected awarding for the holiday, against the expectation, turns out to be greater than twenty rubles, and once Akaki Akakievich with Petrovich goes to the shop. Both Sukno, and the knee-to-lining, and the cat for the collar, and the work of Petrovich - everything turns out to be above all silence, and, in view of the frost, Akaki Akakiyevich once goes to the Department in the New Sintel. The event of this does not remain unnoticed, all praise the chinel and demand from Akakiya Akakiyevich for this occasion to ask the evening, and only the intervention of a certain official (as a purposeful birthday party), who has called everyone, saves the embarrassed Akakia Akakievich.

After a day, formerly a big solemn holiday for him, Akaki Akakievich returns home, having fun and, having occurring without affairs, headed to the official in the far part of the city. Again, all his chinel praises, but soon turn to the vista, dinner, champagne. A forced to the same Akaki Akakievich feels an unusual fun, but, having a monstering about the later hour, slowly goes home. At first, excited, he even rushes over some kind of lady ("in which every part of the body was performed by an extraordinary movement"), but the deserted streets stretched soon inspire him an invalid fear. In the midst of a huge desert square, some people are stopped with a mustache and remove the chinel from him.

The misadventures of Akakia Akakiyevich begin. He does not find help from a private attachment. In the presence, where he comes after the day in the old hood, it is regretted and thinking even to make it better, but by collecting essentially, they give advice to go to a significant person, which can contribute to a more successful search for overcoats. The following describes the techniques and customs of a significant person who has become significant only recently, and therefore is concerned, as if to give themselves greater significance: "Site, rigor and is a rigor," he used to say usually. Wanting to hit his friend, I have not seen many years with that, he cruelly walks by Akakia Akakievich, who, in his opinion, turned to him not in shape. Not sick feet, he gets to the house and falls along with a strongly hot. A few days of unconscious and Breda - and Akaki Akakievich dies, about which only the fourth after the funeral is recognized in the department. Soon it becomes known that at night, near Kalinkina, the bridge is shown the dead man, which is moving from all, without disassembling the rank and ranks, overcoats. Someone recognizes Akakia Akakievich in it. The efforts undertaken by the police for the capture of the dead man disappear.

At that time, one significant person who was not alien to the compassion, having learned that Bashmachkin died suddenly, it remains terrible to be shocked and to have fun, goes to a visitarian party, from where it does not go home, and to the familiar lady Carolina Ivanovna, and, Among the terrible weather, suddenly feels that someone grabbed him for the collar. In horror, he recognizes Akakia Akakiyevich, Koi triumphantly paint sinel from him. Pale and frightened, a significant face returns home and will continue not to walk with the severity of his subordinates. The emergence of a deadman official since then completely ceases, and the ghost that meets a few later, the ghost was already significantly higher than the growth and wore premium mustache.

This tale of Gogol was published in 1843. She is part of the author's collection "Petersburg Tale".

Below we will give a summary of the "Shinel" product. For better assimilation, events are outlined from the point of view of their importance in the plot construction (tie, developments, culmination, junction). The beginning of the story, in which we get acquainted with the main character of Akakiya Akakievich Bashmachkin, can be considered as an exposition.

Start a story. Get acquainted with the main hero

The strings precedes our acquaintance with the main character of the story, which is called Akaki Akakievich Bashmachkin. He serves as a small official in one of the St. Petersburg departments.

The story tells about the birth of the hero: the unfortunate star of Bashmachkina was lit, already when they began to look for a name for a newborn: how much they were chosen through the sacraticles, all the names went out of He is Akakiya Akakievich.

The main character is typical, which is called, "Little Man." He does not shine with his mind, there is not enough stars from the sky, he did not care career and did not try. Bashmachkin loves his work before self-reliance, namely - to shoot copies, that is, to rewrite various documents.

All his life is in this and consists. At work, he writes. He will come home from the service, asking himself - and again at the table, pulls the feather with the inkwell and is again taken for work - rewrites what he did not add in the department. However, if the work did not turn out, Bashmushkin wrote some paper "just for himself." Among the letters from Akakia Akakievich have even their pets.

He fell asleep with a smile, thinking:

Something God will send to rewrite tomorrow?

Relatively belongs to Bashmachkin to its lesson. It cannot be said that in his efforts he was not at all noticeable: once the authorities appointed a task that would help him in promotion. Total and business was - slightly change the content of the document, rewriting it. But for our hero, the task was unbearable, and he relief returned to a simple rewriting.

Appearance and Hero costume

And the beauty of Akaki Akakievich is no different: he is reddish, scales, with a bald on his head, sees it does not matter, eats without appetite. Scattered, walks, not interested in what is happening around. Sometimes, walking down the street, he thinks about his lesson so that he won the written lines everywhere. Then it comes to myself, look - and he stands in the middle of the road.

Says Akaki Akakievich little, and if explicitly, it is mostly prepositions, interjections and particles.

He doesn't have friends, he does not go to visit, often offended by surrounding and patiently demolitions the stationery colleagues. Only sometimes, when they pushed him at hand and will prevent writing, he will say:

Leave me why you offend me?

Vazka

Wears Bashmushkin Vitzmundir, who was once green. But he has long been fighter from old age. And the old chinel, which in the mockery surrounding is called "hood", completely worse, and the matter of it in places began to be like a sieve.

So, in the summary of "overcoats", we note that the tie of the story - the old clothes of the chief hero who came into disrepair.

And the hero would not pay attention to his "skinny pin", and somehow thoroughly began to draw his wind. He took off her chinel, looked - and the cloth on his back and shoulders are completely leaning, and the fabric lining was spread.

She applied to Bashmachkin then to the tailor, whom all called Petrovich. When he was not drunk, he successfully engaged in the repair of all kinds of officials and other clothes - Thranes, sinels and a pantalon. However, Petrovich said that, they say, it is impossible to patch out such a cloth, you can't put a piping on rotting fabric - you will immediately spread. So, it will certainly need to sew a new chinel.

It became a terrible message for the hero. However, thinking, Akaki Akakiyevich decided to go to the tailor on Sunday, when that after Saturday a glass will be subsequent - perhaps, and will take it then for the work. However, in the next visit to him, Petrovich authoritatively stated that it was impossible to repair the chinel.

On a new chinel, which was undertaken to sew all the same tailor Petrovich, would take more than a bowel station. Akaki Akakievich began to pretend. I decided that the taillegament, as usual, was born with a high price, and the sinel will rise to the rubles to eighty rubles.

But he had only forty rubles in the piggy bank. It was necessary to collect somewhere forty.

Event Development

And Bashmachkin began to save: he does not dine,

i expels tea consumption in the evenings

and does not buy candles. Poor Bashmachkin even walks, stepping softer and carefully, so that the quick soles of the shoes are not erased. And in order not to give in washing every time underwear, at home he only carries a bathrobe.

Now all day hero thinks about overcoats, about her fire and matter. He walks along the becks, asking for the cloth and pretending. He is already used to sitting hungry in the evenings. Bashmushkin, as the author tells us,

became somehow more lively, even harder character as a person who has already determined and put a goal

All these habits for a new way of life occupy a hero, as it should be mentioned in the brief content of "overcoats", a few months.

Then the director, as if felt that Bashmachkin needs new clothes, he gave him sixty rubles a salary instead of the presidated forty.

And Akaki Akakievich with the tailor headed in the shop to buy matter. Bought good cloth and excellent lining knee. And the cunits for the collar did not bought - the road was the Corn. But they bought the cat fur, which did not seem to be decent and looked like a kunitsa.

New chinel

The tailor delivered the hero a new chinel early in the morning - just when it was necessary to go to the service. Akaki Akakievich came out in a new clothes to the street, and Petrovich even conducted it to still admire his work.

According to the department, the news suddenly quickly scattered that the Bashmachkina has a new chinel, and

the hood no longer exists.

All congratulate him - an official in high attention - and insist,

what you need to bother a new chinel and that at least he must ask them all evening

to celebrate this event.

Bashmushkin does not know how to refuse. It is good that I found an official who said that he is today a birthday boy, and therefore invites everyone to himself today.

This day becomes for Akakia Akakiyevich holiday. When he returned home, he looked at the old and new overcoat and laughed, comparing and enjoying the new clothes. Have exercised and having fallen into bed, which was generally not in his rules, Bashmushkin went to visit.

The official lived in the best part of the city, where the lanterns shone brighter, and the streets were not so deserted as around his house. At night, he first felt uncomfortable, but then, drinking champagne, having fun. And yet, among those playing cards and fun talking people, he was boring, and seeing that already for midnight, Bashmachkin had imperceptibly left the celebration.

Culmination

At one of the deserted streets, there were some people before the main hero. One of them, showing him a fist, ordered to be silent and looked out from the sheel. Then he was given such a pink that he fell into the snow and lost consciousness.

The next day, on the advice of his apartment hostess, Akaki Akakievich visited the private attachment, struggled with difficulty, but he, asking some ridiculous questions, did not say anything sensible.

The service had to go to him in the old "hood". Many of the colleagues, having heard a sad story with a robbery, arose him, and someone advised to ask for help from a "significant face."

"Significant Face" was the general. Long waited for Bashmachkin in the reception, while he talked with a friend. After listening to the story of "inhuman robbery", the general was angry at Akakia Akakiyevich, fresher at him, partly from the desire to paint before the former more familiar here. Fucking and barely without having lost feelings, Bashmachkin returned home.

Junction

Akaki Akakievich run with a fever. All his painful delirium is spinning around stolen overcoat and unscrupulous thieves.

The doctor came, but nothing but a symbolic kidnaire was not prescribed. And the apartment hostess said that the day after a half will certainly come to the end.

And Akaki Akakievich dies. The property after it remains - only a bundle of goose feathers, a few sheets of paper, a pair of buttons and his old "hood".

And in the lack of official Bashmachkina immediately did not notice, but only four days later, when it was already buried.

One of the most significant components of the story elements is an epilogue that gives it a fantastic shade and an additional interesting meaning must be mentioned in the brief content of "overcoats".

Scary epylogue

In St. Petersburg, the alarming rumors are crawling that at night there is a ghost, who becomes painting from all the sevenches, not looking, what kind of shelted, poor they are or rich. One of the officials managed to see the dead man and recognized Akakia Akakievich in it.

And the general who so rudely cost the shoes, felt remorse, remembering the unfortunate visitor. He even sent to him, wishing to give him any help. When the courier reported that the spent the visitor died in a fever, the general was upset.

Wanting to unwind, he went to a party to his friend, and at the end, having completely come to a good mood, decided to visit the familiar lady Carolina Ivanovna. He was driving into her sleigh, coating with a warm chinel.
