Plot

The protagonist recalls the past - travel abroad, life in a small town on the Rhine. Living in Germany, he meets Gagin with his sister Asya. Gagin dreams of becoming an artist, while Asya has a rather strange character and does unusual things. They become friends, and in the course of communication, N.N. falls in love with Asya. But happiness becomes impossible, since the hero is not sure of his feelings for the girl who has become attached to him. As a result, their paths diverge, and the narrator, realizing the depth of feelings for Asya, strives with all his might to return the lost love. Life never brought them together and only forever hurt the heart of a lonely person.

Conclusion (my opinion)

Turgenev vividly showed a girl who found it difficult to find her place in society. She is capable of various reckless acts, but at the same time, Asya is sweet, kind and pure in heart. Of course, her origins left an imprint on her. Being illegitimate, she could not be like everyone else. Thus, the writer drew attention to the problem of society in families.

The story also shows that real feelings must be held on to. It may be too late to change the situation later. The protagonist did not dare to directly ask for Asya's hand in marriage, her low origin played an important role, because it could harm her reputation. When love comes, it's all just conventions, but N.N. realizes it too late. Excessive impulsivity and lack of open communication led to disastrous consequences for life.

N.N., a middle-aged secular man, recalls a story that happened when he was twenty-five years old. N. N. then traveled without a goal and without a plan, and on his way he stopped in a quiet German town N. Once N. N., having come to a student party, met two Russians in the crowd - a young artist who called himself Gagin, and his sister Anna , which Gagin called Asya. N. N. avoided Russians abroad, but he liked his new acquaintance right away. Gagin invited N.N. to his house, to the apartment in which he and his sister were staying. N. N. was fascinated by his new friends. At first, Asya was shy at N.N., but soon she herself was talking to him. Evening came, it was time to go home. Leaving the Gagins, N.N. felt happy.

Many days have passed. Asya's pranks were varied, every day she seemed to be a new, different - either a well-bred young lady, or a playful child, or a simple girl. N. N. regularly visited the Gagins. Some time later, Asya stopped being naughty, looked distressed, avoided N. N. Gagin treated her kindly and condescendingly, and N. N. grew suspicious that Gagin was not Asya's brother. A strange incident confirmed his suspicions. One day, N.N. accidentally overheard the conversation of the Gagins, in which Asya told Gagin that she loved him and did not want to love anyone else. N. N. was very bitter.

N. N. spent the next few days in nature, avoiding the Gagins. But a few days later he found a note at home from Gagin, who asked him to come. Gagin met N. N. in a friendly way, but Asya, seeing the guest, burst out laughing and ran away. Then Gagin told his friend the story of his sister.

Gagin's parents lived in their village. After the death of Gagin's mother, his father raised his son himself. But one day Uncle Gagina arrived, who decided that the boy should study in St. Petersburg. His father resisted, but gave in, and Gagin went to school, and then to the guards regiment. Gagin often came and once, already at the age of twenty, he saw a little girl Asya in his house, but did not pay any attention to her, having heard from her father that she was an orphan and was taken by him "to feed".

Gagin was not with his father for a long time and only received letters from him, when suddenly one day the news came of his fatal illness. Gagin arrived and found his father dying. He bequeathed to his son to take care of his daughter, Gagin's sister - Asya. Soon the father died, and the servant told Gagin that Asya was the daughter of Gagin's father and Tatyana's maid. Gagin's father became very attached to Tatyana and even wanted to marry her, but Tatyana did not consider herself a lady and lived with her sister with Asya. When Asya was nine years old, she lost her mother. Her father took her into the house and raised her himself. She was ashamed of her origin and at first she was afraid of Gagin, but then she fell in love with him. He, too, became attached to her, brought her to St. Petersburg and, no matter how bitter it was for him to do this, gave her to a boarding school. She had no friends there, the young ladies did not like her, but now she is seventeen, she has finished her studies, and together they went abroad. And now ... she is naughty and fooling around as before ...

After the story of Gagin, N.N. it became easy. Asya, who met them in the room, suddenly asked Gagin to play a waltz for them, and N.N. and Asya danced for a long time. Asya waltzed beautifully, and N.N. later recalled this dance for a long time.

The whole next day, Gagin, N. N. and Asya were together and had fun like children, but the next day Asya was pale, she said that she was thinking about her death. Everyone except Gagin was sad.

Once N.N. brought a note from Asya, in which she asked him to come. Soon Gagin came to N.N. and said that Asya was in love with N.N. Yesterday she had a fever all evening, she didn’t eat anything, she cried and confessed that she loved N.N. She wants to leave ...

N.N. told his friend about the note that Asya had sent him. Gagin understood that his friend would not marry Asa, so they agreed that N.N. would honestly explain to her, and Gagin would sit at home and not pretend that he knew about the note.

Gagin left, and N. N.'s head was spinning. Another note informed N.N. of the change in the place of their meeting with Asya. Arriving at the appointed place, he saw the hostess, Frau Louise, who led him to the room where Asya was waiting.

Asya was trembling. N.N. hugged her, but immediately remembered Gagina and began to accuse Asya of telling her brother everything. Asya listened to his speeches and suddenly burst into tears. N. N. was at a loss, and she rushed to the door and disappeared.

N. N. rushed around the city in search of Asya. He was vexed with himself. Thinking, he went to the Gagins' house. Gagin came out to meet him, worried that Asya was still missing. N.N. looked for Asya all over the city, he repeated a hundred times that he loved her, but he could not find her anywhere. However, having approached the Gagins' house, he saw a light in Asya's room and calmed down. He made a firm decision - to go tomorrow and ask for Ashina's hand. N. N. was happy again.

The next day, N.N. saw a maid at the house, who said that the owners had left, and handed him a note from Gagin, where he wrote that he was convinced of the need for separation. When N. N. walked past Frau Louise's house, she handed him a note from Asya, where she wrote that if N. N. had said one word, she would have stayed. But apparently it's better...

N. N. looked everywhere for the Gagins, but did not find them. He knew many women, but the feeling awakened in him by Asya never happened again. The longing for her remained with N.N. for the rest of his life.
