Left. Leskov N.

Leskov Nikolai Semenovich (1831-1895)-"The most Russian of Russian writers." He masterfully depicts folk life, using a figurative, singing language for this.

The main theme of his work is the search for a righteous person, the image of a righteous hero. But who is he - this hero? Holy, sinless man? Or striving for good, not discouraging, loving life? Or, perhaps, a person suffering, offended, but not accusing anyone of his suffering? And again, we return to the key Leskov topic - the search for the righteous. And the leftist is an undoubted righteous, and this manifests itself at every stage of his life and, of course, in death. In the face of which he continues to think about others, about his country, but he does not receive any attention himself - because of his low social status, which, in the eyes of others, is more important than human health and even life. Yes, we already know that Leskov’s stories about the righteous are how fascinating and exciting how unusual and witty, so sad, sometimes to tears are so sad. But in this paradox, perhaps the secret of Leskov is so different, so multifaceted, but invariably talking to us about the most important things in life. About things that do not change, even in a stream of such rapidly flying time...
