“The Enchanted Wanderer” N.S. Leskova
Leskov's story "The Enchanted Wanderer" dates back to 1873. Initially, it was called "Black Earth Telemak". The image of the wanderer Ivan Flyagin summarizes the remarkable features of people who are energetic, talented by nature, inspired by boundless love for people. It depicts a man from the people in the intricacies of his difficult fate, not broken, even though "he died all his life and could not die in any way." In the story, a kaleidoscope of pictures of serf Russia appears, many of which anticipate Leskov's satirical works of the 80s and 90s.
"The Enchanted Wanderer" was Leskov's favorite hero, he put him next to "Lefty". “The Enchanted Wanderer should immediately (before winter) be published in one volume with “Lefty” under one common title: “Well Done,” he wrote in 1866.
The kind and simple-minded Russian giant is the main character and the central figure of the story. This man with a childish soul is distinguished by irrepressible fortitude, heroic mischief and that excess in hobbies, which is so alien to the moderation of virtuous bourgeois heroes. He acts at the behest of duty, often on the intuition of feeling and in an accidental outburst of passion. However, all his actions, even the strangest ones, are invariably born from his inherent philanthropy. He strives for truth and beauty through mistakes and bitter repentance, he seeks love and generously gives love to people. The “enchanted wanderer” is a type of “Russian wanderer” (in the words of Dostoevsky). Of course, Flyagin has nothing in common with the noble "superfluous people" - Aleko, Onegin, whom Dostoevsky had in mind. But he, too, seeks and cannot find himself. He does not need to humble himself and desire to work in his native field. He is already humble and, by his muzhik rank, is faced with the need to work. But he has no peace. In life, he is not a participant, but only a wanderer, “Black Earth Telemak”.
In the story, the life of the protagonist is a chain of adventures so diverse that each of them, being an episode of one life, at the same time can make up a whole life. Count K.'s postillion, a fugitive serf, a babysitter, a Tatar captive, a coneser at the prince-repairer, a soldier, a Knight of St. George - a retired officer, a "reference" in the address desk, an actor in a booth, and, finally, a monk in a monastery - and that's it this is for one life, not yet completed.
The very name of the hero turns out to be inconsistent: “Golovan” is a nickname in childhood and adolescence; "Ivan" - that's what the Tatars call him) this name here is not so much a proper one as a common noun: "they have everything if an adult Russian person is Ivan, and a woman is Natasha, and they call boys with Kolka"); under the false name of Peter Serdyukov, he serves in the Caucasus: having gone to the soldiers for another, he, as it were, inherits his fate, and after the expiration of his service life, he can no longer regain his name. And finally, having become a monk, he is called “Father Ishmael”, nevertheless always remaining himself - the Russian man Ivan Severyanych Flyagin.
Creating this image, Leskov will not forget anything - neither childish spontaneity, nor the peculiar “artistry” and narrow “patriotism” of the “warrior”. For the first time in a writer, the personality is so multifaceted, so free, so released to its will.
There is the deepest meaning in the very wandering of the Leskovsky hero; it is on the roads of life that the “enchanted wanderer” comes into contact with other people, these unexpected meetings put the hero in front of problems, the very existence of which he had not even suspected before.
Ivan Severyanych Flyagin at first sight strikes with his originality: “He was a man of enormous stature, with a swarthy, open face and thick, wavy, lead-colored hair; his gray cast so strangely ... he was in the full sense of the word a hero, reminiscent of grandfather Ilya Muromets in the beautiful picture of Vereshchagin and in the poem of Count A. K. Tolstoy. It seemed that he would not have walked in duckweed, but would have sat on a “chubar” and rode in bast shoes through the forest and lazily sniffed how “dark forest smells of resin and strawberries”.
The story about the taming of the horse does not seem to be connected at all with the previous two, but its finale - the death of the tamed horse - evokes the death of the exiled deacon. And here and there there is violence against a free being of nature. Both man and animal that have shown disobedience are broken and cannot bear it. With the story of the taming of the horse, the narrative of Flyagin's “extensive past vitality” begins, and this episode is not accidentally “taken out” from the sequential chain of events. It's like a kind of prologue to the biography of the hero.
According to the hero, his destiny is that he is the “prayed” and “promised” son, is obliged to devote his life to serving God.
Ivan Severyanych Flyagin lives primarily not with his mind, but with his heart, and therefore the course of life imperiously carries him along, that is why the circumstances in which he finds himself are so diverse. The path that the hero of the story goes through is the search for his place among other people, his vocation, comprehension of the meaning of his life efforts, but not with reason, but with his whole life and his destiny. Ivan Severyanych Flyagin does not seem to be interested in the questions of human existence, but with his whole life, with its bizarre course, he answers them in his own way.
The theme of “going through the throes” develops regardless of the fact that the hero does not attach much importance to it. Ivan Severyanych's story about his life seems almost implausible precisely because it all fell to the lot of one person. “What a drum you are, brother: they beat you, they beat you, and they still won’t finish you,” the doctor, who listened to the whole story, tells him.
Leskov's hero is destitute of life, robbed by it from the very beginning, but in the process of life itself, he multiplies the spiritual wealth a hundredfold, which he is endowed with by nature. His exclusivity grows on Russian folk soil and is all the more significant because the hero answers everything with his own heart, and not with the constructions of the mind. The idea here is opposed by something unconditional, which withstands the most difficult tests.
In the unhurried narration of Leskov's heroes, visible features of the recent past arose and the figures of real people loomed. Therefore, The Enchanted Wanderer reveals to the reader the main theme of Leskov's work - the theme of the formation of man, the painful torment of his spirit in the struggle of passions and prudence, in the difficult knowledge of the hero himself. Behind the incident, the case arose in these works of the life of the individual.
The writer's heightened interest in national culture, the subtlest sense of all shades of folk life made it possible for him to create a kind of artistic world and develop an original, artistic, unique - "Leskovsky" way of depicting. Leskov knew how to portray the life of the people, merged into one with the people's worldview, deeply rooted in national history. Leskov believed and was able to show that the people are able to deeply “understand the public good and serve it without being forced, and, moreover, serve with exemplary self-sacrifice even in such terrible historical moments when the salvation of the fatherland seemed impossible.” Deep faith in the great power of the people and love for the people gave him the opportunity to see and comprehend the "inspiration" of people's characters. In The Enchanted Wanderer, for the first time in Lesk's work, the theme of folk heroism is fully developed. Despite many unsightly features, realistically noted by the author, the collective semi-fairytale image of Ivan Flyagin appears before us in all its grandeur, nobility of soul, fearlessness and beauty and merges with the image of the heroic people. “I really want to die for the people,” says the enchanted wanderer . The “black-earth Telemak” deeply experiences his involvement in his native land. What a great feeling lies in his unpretentious story about loneliness in Tatar captivity: “... There is no bottom to the depths of anguish ... You see, you don’t know where, and suddenly a monastery or a temple is indicated in front of you, and you remember the baptized land and cry.”
In The Enchanted Wanderer, Leskov speaks of a “good Russian hero”, about “good innocence”, about a “kind soul”, about a “good and strict life”. The life of the described heroes is full of wild, evil and cruel impulses, but in the hidden source of all human actions and thoughts lies kindness - unearthly, ideal, mystical. It does not open among people in its pure form, because kindness is a state of the soul that has come into contact with the deity.
Those heroes who are closest to his heart, Leskov always compares with the heroes of epics and fairy tales. N. Pleschunov draws the following conclusion, arguing about the "Enchanted Wanderer": "...there is a hunch that this" Charmed Wanderer "is the people under the serfdom, seeking, waiting for the hour of their deliverance." Not only the heroes of The Enchanted Wanderer, but also many other images of the writer were “icons”, but not in the sense that they were essentially religious, but in the fact that their most significant features were reflected by the writer “statically”, “traditionally” , in the spirit of religious genres, genres of folklore and ancient Russian literature: lives and parables, legends and legends, legends, anecdotes and fairy tales.
The hero of the story is called an enchanted wanderer, and in this title the whole worldview of the writer appears. Charm is a wise and blessed fate, which, like the miraculous icon in the “Sealed Angel”, itself puts a person in various temptations. Even in moments of rebellion against her, she slowly and imperceptibly cultivates divine self-denial in a person, preparing a decisive change in his consciousness. Each life event casts some kind of shadow into the soul, preparing in it woeful doubts, quiet sadness about the vanity of life.
The religious perception of the world, the tendency to superstition correspond to the level of consciousness of the majority of Leskov's heroes, and are determined by the traditions and ideas about the world around them that gravitate over them. However, under the cover of religious thoughts and reasoning of his heroes, the writer managed to see a completely worldly, ordinary attitude to life and even (which is especially significant) was able to critically treat the official religion and the church. Therefore, the work “The Enchanted Wanderer” has not lost its deep meaning to this day.
Whatever a religious person from the common people looks at, everything acquires a wonderful meaning for him. He sees God in manifestations - and these manifestations seem to him to be one airy chain that connects him with the last refuge of the spirit. Making his worldly path, he sheds on it the light of his infantile faith, having no doubt that the path leads him to God. This idea runs through the whole story of Leskov "The Enchanted Wanderer". His details are striking in their originality, and in places, through the thick colors of everyday descriptions, one feels the nature of the writer, with her diverse, obvious and secret passions.
A deep sense of moral beauty, alien to corrupting indifference, "overcomes the spirit" of the Leskovsky righteous. The native environment communicates by its living example not only inspired impulses, but the "strict and sober mood" to their "healthy soul, which lived in a healthy and strong body."
Leskov loved all of Russia as it is. He took it as an old fairy tale. This is a fairy tale about an enchanted hero. He portrayed Russia holy and sinful, wrong and righteous. Before us is an amazing country of amazing people. Where else can you find such righteous, craftsmen, eccentrics? But all of her froze in charm, froze in her unexpressed beauty and holiness, and she had nowhere to put herself. There is courage in it, there is scope, there is a great talent, but everything is dormant, everything is fettered, everything is enchanted.
“Enchanted Russia” is a conditional, literary term. This is a cumulative image, recreated by the artist in his work, incorporating some aspects of historical reality. These are the hidden great forces that Leskov saw in his people. This is an “old tale” about him.

Many are familiar with the work of Nikolai Leskov "The Enchanted Wanderer". Indeed, this story is one of the most famous in Leskov's work. We will now make a brief analysis of the story "The Enchanted Wanderer", look at the history of writing the work, discuss the main characters and draw conclusions.
So, Leskov wrote the story "The Enchanted Wanderer" in the period from 1872 to 1973. The fact is that the idea appeared during the author's journey through the waters of Karelia, when in 1872 he went to the island of Valaam, a famous shelter for monks. By the end of the same year, the story was almost finished and was even being prepared for publication under the title "Black Earth Telemak". But the publishing house refused to publish the work, considering it raw and unfinished. Leskov did not retreat, turning for help to the editors of the Novy Mir magazine, where the story was accepted and published. Before we make a direct analysis of the story "The Enchanted Wanderer", we will briefly consider the essence of the plot.
Analysis of The Enchanted Wanderer, main character
The events of the story take place on Lake Ladoga, where travelers met, whose goal is Valaam. Let's get acquainted with one of them - coneser Ivan Severyanych, who is dressed in a cassock, he told the others that from his youth he has a wonderful gift, thanks to which he can tame any horse. The interlocutors are interested in hearing the life story of Ivan Severyanych.
The hero of The Enchanted Wanderer, Ivan Severyanych Flyagin, begins the story by saying that his homeland is the Oryol province, he comes from the family of Count K. As a child, he fell in love with horses terribly. Once, for fun, he beat one monk so much that he died, which shows the attitude of the protagonist to human life, which is important in The Enchanted Wanderer, which we are now analyzing. Further, the main character talks about other events of his life - amazing and strange.
It is very interesting to note the consistent organization of the story in general. Why can you define it as a tale? Because Leskov built the narrative as oral speech, which imitates an improvisational story. At the same time, not only the manner of the main character-narrator Ivan Flyagin is reproduced, but also the peculiarity of the speech of other characters is reflected.
In total, there are 20 chapters in The Enchanted Wanderer, the first chapter is a kind of exposition or prologue, and the other chapters directly tell the life story of the protagonist, and each of them is a complete story. If we talk about the logic of the tale, it is clear that the key role here is played not by the chronological sequence of events, but by the memories and associations of the narrator. The story resembles the canon of life, as some literary critics say: that is, first we learn about the childhood years of the hero, then life is consistently described, it is also clear how he struggles with temptations and temptations.
findings
The protagonist in the analysis of The Enchanted Wanderer typically represents the people, and his strength, as well as his abilities, reflect the qualities inherent in the Russian person. It can be seen how the hero develops spiritually - initially he is just a dashing, careless and hot guy, but at the end of the story he is an experienced and mature monk over the years. However, his self-improvement became possible only thanks to the trials that he inherited, because without these difficulties and troubles he would not have learned to sacrifice himself and try to atone for his own sins.
In general, thanks to such, albeit a brief analysis of the story "The Enchanted Wanderer", it becomes clear what the development of Russian society was like. And Leskov managed to show this in the fate of just one of his main characters.
Note for yourself that the Russian man, according to Leskov's plan, is capable of sacrifice, and not only the strength of the hero is inherent in him, but also the spirit of generosity. In this article, we made a brief analysis of The Enchanted Wanderer, we hope you find it useful.
The writing
The work of N. S. Leskov reflected the historical side of Russian reality, but even more - the Russian spirit, the innermost identity that permeates all the works of the writer. In the story "The Enchanted Wanderer" Leskov acts as the creator of a colorful gallery of folk characters, as a singer of the righteous, selfless and highly moral people who see in their work a great benevolent force.
Already in the very title of the story, two main themes of the work are outlined: the theme of "charm" and the theme of "wandering". The very figure of the wanderer is associated with the artistic tradition of Russian folklore and ancient literature, with the images of passers-by. Therefore, The Enchanted Wanderer to a large extent goes back to the genre of walking, one of the most common genres of ancient Russian literature. The narration in the walks was conducted in the first person and was a leisurely, stately and, at the same time, biased description of the journey.
All his life, the Russian man Ivan Severyanovich was looking for the comprehension of "perfect beauty." He found it either in horses, or in women, and, finally, in the image of his great Motherland, for which at the end of the journey he “came into arms” to fight.
We meet Flyagin during the storyteller's journey across Lake Ladoga. The narrator notes the similarity of Ivan Severyanovich with the epic hero Ilya Muromets: “He was of enormous stature, with a swarthy open face and thick wavy hair of leaden light ... he was in the full sense of the word a hero, and, moreover, a typical, ingenuous, kind Russian hero, reminiscent of grandfather Ilya Muromets ... "It seems to me that the comparison of the hero with the hero is a kind of key to understanding both this image itself and the meaning of the story's title.
Ivan Flyagin firmly believes in the unshakable power of predestination and has been looking for his place among people all his life. The path of the wanderer Flyagin is the path of finding harmony between the elemental power of the individual and the requirements of life itself. There is a deep meaning in the wandering of the hero. The motive of the road in the story becomes the leading one. Each stage of Flyagin's life path becomes a new step in his moral development.
In his youth, Ivan was affected by mischief and excitement. He loved horses and fast riding. Unwittingly, Flyagin destroys an old monk who has fallen asleep on a wagon of hay. At the same time, young Ivan is not particularly burdened by the misfortune that has occurred, but the monk now and then appears to him in his dreams. He pesters the hero with questions, predicts his life trials, which he has yet to go through. Ivan feels in his soul that someday he will have to atone for this sin, but he dismisses such thoughts, believing that the time to atone for sins has not yet come.
One day, the hero saves his masters from inevitable death while traveling to Voronezh, when their wagon almost falls into the abyss. A special stage in the life of the hero is the upbringing of the girl. It shows that Flyagin's outward rudeness hides great kindness. For the first time, Ivan understands the soul of another person, he feels compassion and affection. When Flyagin encounters the girl's mother, conflicting feelings struggle in him. But he decides to give the child to the mother. In his actions, the hero is not guided by personal, selfish sympathies, but acts in proportion to a sense of duty, conscience.
The hero is then imprisoned for ten years. Here he discovers new feelings: homesickness and the hope of returning. Ivan cannot merge with someone else's life, take it seriously, so he always strives to escape. In captivity, he is oppressed by the poverty of impressions. Russian life for the hero is immeasurably fuller and richer spiritually. The recollection brings Flyagin back to the holidays and weekdays, to his native nature. And the opportunity to run away is given to him.
The hero reached his native land, but Holy Russia, to which he so aspired, met him with whips. Flyagin almost dies from drunkenness, but an accident saves the hero and turns his whole life upside down, gives her a new direction. The meeting with Grunya spiritually exalts Flyagin. Here the theme of "charm" is most fully expressed. This is how you can characterize the state that the hero is experiencing. For the sake of his beloved, Ivan Severyanovich decides to kill: he helps Grune to commit suicide. The hero then follows the path of obedience. He changes with a person he doesn't even know, destiny. The hero took pity on the heartbroken old men, whose son was threatened with recruitment.
Ivan Severyanovich grew spiritually, bearing personal responsibility for his life before God and people. At the end of the story, Flyagin becomes a monk. But monasticism will not be a quiet haven for him, the end of the path. The hero is ready to go to war: "I really want to die for the people."
Irresistibly attracts in this meek and wonderful person how he feels the beauty, how he is fascinated by the beauty of the world. This fascination with the world is also manifested in his captivating sense of admiration, for which this simple person has such poignant words.
Leskov portrays the hero as a person who has experienced and suffered a lot. It contains not only personal, but also a huge folk-historical experience of judgments about the world. Thus, in the story "The Enchanted Wanderer" the theme of wandering lies in the disclosure of the image of the "enchanted wanderer" of the Russian land by Ivan Severyanovich Flyagin.

Leskov (on the example of the work "The Enchanted Wanderer").Leskov's works make an indelible impression on a person. From school, everyone is familiar with several of his works. One of these is the story "The Enchanted Wanderer", which is recognized as one of his most famous works.
Leskov created the story from 1872 to 1873. The idea came to the author during a trip to Karelia. By local waters he went to the island of Valaam to the monks. It was there that the work was created and a year later it was ready for printing with the title "Black Earth Telmak". Then Leskov was refused, explaining by an extremely uninteresting plot and underdevelopment. Then Leskov turned to another magazine, where they agreed to publish it.
The name "The Enchanted Wanderer" carries the idea of the protagonist's journey in search of his own soul, development. He wanders both on Lake Ladoga and in his inner world. The wanderer seeks to know his destiny, and most importantly, his place on earth and life. All this is indicated by the second word in the title, and the first indicates the ability of the hero's heart to charm me with his country, nature, the ability to love and appreciate the environment. Often in the story, the author uses the phrase "witchcraft spells" - this means that the hero does not seem to perform various actions himself, but under the influence of something higher.
There are 20 chapters in the work, but they do not represent a single composition. They seem to be arranged randomly, as the author's inspiration went. We can say that this is a series of random events. Flyagin talks a lot about his life, and it is just as chaotic and chaotic. It is no coincidence that the story contains a whole cycle of legends, because the story contains a biography of one of the saints, whose life was filled with divine signs. This can be seen from the story of the wanderer's childhood, where God from above points him to the path of fate, and in adulthood it is full of allegory and high meaning. The culmination of the whole work is the temptation of the protagonist by demons, with which he copes with the help of faith in God.
Thus, we see how much is inherent in Leskov's story. It was not immediately possible to notice the value of the work, but it was published anyway and was able to guide many readers on the true path. After all, this is very important in the modern world.
Option 2
The author of the work "The Enchanted Wanderer" is N.S. Leskov. It was during a trip to Lake Ladoga that the idea of creating a story appeared. Leskov wrote the story in one breath. It took less than a year to complete this creation.
The main character of the story is a native of the common people - Ivan Flyagin. He was born in the family of a yard servant. Once, for fun, he beat a monk to death. After that, the deceased begins to pursue Vanya, appearing to him in his dreams, and predicting service to God in the distant future.
Soon Ivan leaves the owner's house, taking with him a rope and a horse. Realizing his worthless existence, he decides to hang himself. But he fails to carry out his plan. The gypsy saves him by cutting the rope.
After long wanderings through unfamiliar lands, the hero ends up with the Tatars. Without thinking twice, he becomes a member of the local custom, the meaning of which was as follows - two sat down opposite each other and began to beat the opponent with whips. The one who lasted the longest would take the horse as his prize. Ivan enthusiastically fights with an opponent, wanting to get a wonderful horse. But he overdid it, and inadvertently beat the enemy to death. For this reckless act, the Tatars cripple his legs. Since then, he begins to serve them.
By chance, visitors come to the Tatar settlement. Seizing the opportunity, Ivan manages to escape. Traveling for a long time, he gets to Astrakhan. But from there he is sent back to his former owner. Here he begins to look after his horses. In the district, a rumor spreads about Ivan, as about a magician, since he could unmistakably, at first glance, identify a good horse. Soon, the local prince finds out about this. He wants to take advantage of his knowledge and takes Ivan to the position of koneser.
A significant moment in the life of the protagonist becomes an acquaintance in a tavern with the beautiful gypsy Grushenka. Despite the fact that she was the mistress of the prince, young people fall in love with each other. The prince prepared a terrible fate for the girl. Soon he was to marry, and Pear, as already objectionable, he planned to send to the bee forest to certain death. A gypsy runs away from the princely court and comes to Ivan with a terrible request - she asks to drown her, since she has no other choice. With much thought, he commits this terrible act. Now, left all alone, Vanya decides to go to war, where, in his opinion, he will end his life, dying at the hands of the enemy.
On the battlefield, Ivan never manages to find death. Returning from the war, he first tries himself as a worker in the address table, and then as an artist, but he does not find himself here either. Desperate for everything, he leaves for a monastery. It is in this place that the protagonist finds peace, realizing that he made the only right decision in his entire long life.
In The Enchanted Wanderer, Leskov showed all the life difficulties that ordinary people face, with particular emphasis on the negative aspects of life.
Composition based on the story The Enchanted Wanderer
In the story "The Enchanted Wanderer", published in 1873, the image of a man of amazing fate is presented. On the steamboat sailing to Valaam, the pilgrim of Chernoryets, calling himself by the worldly name of Ivan Severyanovich Flyagin, tells fellow travelers about the wanderings that he happened to endure. In appearance, he resembled Russian epic heroes. His amazing, poetic folk language and manner of narration is an old Russian tale, the sequence and presentation of the events of his life is similar to the canonical ancient Russian genre of life. Ivan conquers fellow travelers with the sincerity of stories about his wanderings.
Many critics, contemporaries of Leskov, took this work with hostility, reproached the author for the fact that there is neither a logical plot in his story, nor truthfulness in the national character described by him, nor the basis of the hero's love for the Russian land. The whole story of the protagonist about his wanderings was assessed, either as “revelation from a fool”, or from “smart speech”, and the main character himself was presented as a parody of a person with a Russian character. However, the image of the protagonist, despite its apparent rusticity, is multifaceted and complex. Leskov, knowing the mysterious depth of the Russian soul, is looking for moral impulses in the actions of a sinful person, a frantic truth-seeker who often made mistakes, but suffering, without losing faith, comes to the path of repentance. Leskov showed that Christian humility is not entirely inherent in a Russian person, it is natural for him to sin for the sake of justice.
The protagonist from childhood was bequeathed to God by his parents, because he had a long-awaited and implored child. And according to the prediction, he was destined to go to the monastery. Many trials fell on Ivan: serfdom, escape, wandering without documents and money, ten years of captivity among the Gentiles, fifteen years of recruiting service in the Caucasus, where he was awarded the St. George Cross and officer rank for courage. He unwittingly caused the death of three people: a monk who fell under the wheels of a cart, a Tatar who fought for a horse, a gypsy woman who was distraught with jealousy. He had a chance to be a coneser, a nanny, a doctor, a soldier, an information officer in an office, an actor in a booth. The hero himself considers himself a terrible sinner, but after going through temptations and trials, he finds comfort in service and faith. He finds the last shelter in the monastery, but even there he is bored with a quiet life. His soul is in search, it yearns to find the purpose of life. He is a vagabond fascinated by life with a pure soul, like a baby, but a strong and independent character.
