Aleksandr Kuprin – författare

Высокая безответная любовь Желткова к Шеиной Вере Николаевне стала подарком среди обыденности и трезвой реальности. Этот дар делает главного героя выше других персонажей: грубого Тугановского, легкомысленной Анны, совестливого Шеина и мудрого Аносова. До появления Желткова у Веры Николаевны была привычная жизнь, как будто в полудреме (символом этого является холодный осенний пейзаж).Эта история о душевном пробуждении Веры Николаевны: поначалу возникли предчувствия, а потом – внутренние противоречия. С момента получения подарка от Желткова – гранатового браслета, у главной героини появляется мучительное ожидание беды, вплоть до смерти главного героя. И Желтков, действительно, кончает жизнь самоубийством.После смерти главного героя Вера Николаевна осознает, что «любовь, о которой мечтает каждая женщина, прошла мимо нее». А браслет с редким зеленым гранатом стал символом единственной на всю жизнь прекрасной любви, которая так и осталась безответной, потерявшись в дешевой оправе. Александр Куприн "Гранатовый браслет".

The Duel is a novel by Russian author Aleksandr Kuprin published in 1905. It is generally considered his best work; even though Kuprin''s 1896 short story Moloch first made his name known as a writer it was The Duel (1905) which made him famous. Because of it "Kuprin was highly praised by fellow writers including Anton Chekhov, Maxim Gorky, Leonid Andreyev, Nobel Prize-winning Ivan Bunin" and Leo Tolstoy who acclaimed him a true successor to Chekhov. The story concerns an intelligent young officer, Second Lieutenant Romashov, stationed at a dull military garrison in southern Russia where he can not stomach his sadistic and stupid colleagues and military life. He falls in love with the wife of a superior officer, a cold and calculating woman whose one ambition is her husband''s advancement. The affair leads in the end to the duel of the title, both externally, and figuratively through the young man''s naive dreams of grandeur confronting the degeneration of military life and society of the time.

With us, you see, Kuprin makes the reporter Platonov, his mouthpiece, say in Yama, "they write about detectives, about lawyers, about inspectors of the revenue, about pedagogues, about attorneys, about the police, about officers, about sensual ladies, about engineers, about baritones—and really, by God, altogether well—cleverly, with finesse and talent. But, after all, all these people are rubbish, and their life is not life, but some sort of conjured up, spectral, unnecessary delirium of world culture. But there are two singular realities—ancient as humanity itself: the prostitute and the moujik. And about them we know nothing, save some tinsel, gingerbread, debauched depictions in literature..." And, curiously enough, it is another great Russian, Kuprin, who is supreme—if not unique—as a painter of the universal scourge of prostitution, per se; and not as an incidental background for portraits. True, he may not have entirely escaped the strange allure, aforementioned, of the femininity he paints; for femininity—even though fallen, corrupt, abased, is still femininity, one of the miracles of life, to Kuprin, the lover of life. But, even if he may be said to have used too much of the oil of sentimentality in mixing his colours for the portraits, his portraits are subordinate to the background; and there his eye is true and keen, his hand steady and unflinching, his colours and brushwork unimpeachable.

"The Garnet Bracelet" is a rather short novel by Alexander Kuprin, exploring the romantic, yet unrequited emotions of the protagonist towards the love of his life. Written at the beginning of the 20th century and praised by the great names in Russian literature, Kuprin’s novel offers a valuable insight into the human soul. A beautiful and at the same time sad story, whose sorrowful tones are expressed through Beethoven’s 2nd Piano Sonata. Heartbreaking and melancholic, the story is a perfect read for those capable of experiencing enormous love.Alexander Kuprin was a Russian novelist, poet, and short-story writer, a representative of Russian critical realism. His life in the army account for his early autobiographical stories, an experience that stayed with him forever. A wielder of genuinely natural subject matter and language, Kuprin’s style is above all else tinged with passionate depiction of the human heart. However, the poverty of his family and Kuprin’s own problems with alcoholism paint a pretty gloomy picture of his years in emigration and later return to his homeland. Among his best works are "The Duel", "The Pit", "Moloch" and "The Garnet Bracelet".

De stora ryska författarna var mästare också i det lilla formatet och blev stilbildande för den moderna novellens utformning. Nu ger vi ut några av litteraturhistoriens starkast lysande klassiska noveller i efterlängtad nyöversättning, tillsammans med ett par ännu oupptäckta pärlor.Denna vackra volym rymmer alltifrån Dostojevskijs psykologiska djupborrningar till Tjechovs stillsamma precision, via namn som Pusjkin, Gogol och Tolstoj. Men här finns också verk från de något mindre kända Garsjin och Turgenjev, samt en till svenska ej tidigare översatt novell av Aleksandr Kuprin.Idag när det ryska samhället förändras under Putin och mytbildning och desinformation är nya ledord är det av stort värde att gå tillbaka till grunderna, att anstränga sig för att se bortom myterna och dimridåerna och försöka förstå en ny tid med litteraturens ofta klargörande blick.De åtta novellerna i denna bok är tidlösa historier av stora berättare.

La princesa Vera, la esposa de un noble venido a menos, recibe cartas de amor de un empleado de rango menor que dice amarla incondicionalmente. La pulsera de granates, escrita en 1910 sobre la base de un suceso real, es una historia de amor trágica, quizá una de las más bellas de la literatura rusa, y también el retrato de una aristocracia en decadencia.
