Captain's daughter

The captain’s daughter A. Pushkin is one of the most important works of Russian classics, which proclaimed the main life principle of the saying “Take care of the honor of a young man”. N. Gogol enthusiastically responded about the “captain’s daughter”: “Resolutely the best Russian work in a narrative gender. Compared to the “Captain's Daughter”, all our novels and the novels seem to be sugary. For the first time, truly Russian characters performed: a simple commandant of the fortress, the captain, the lieutenant himself the fortress with the only gun, the stupid time and the simple greatness of ordinary people. ”
