On the outskirts of Moscow, from where you can see the Sparrow Hills, not far from the walls of the monastery in an old dwelling, the main character of Karamzin's book "Poor Lisa" lived with her mother. After the death of their father, they had to live on the money received from the rent of the land. Her mother, who was in poor health, yearned for her late husband, and Liza was alone in housekeeping and worked part-time selling forest flowers.

While selling flowers in the city, Liza met the amiable young handsome Erast, who paid her not five kopecks, but a whole ruble. But the honest girl did not take too much. The young man asked where Lisa lives and persuaded her not to sell flowers to anyone but him anymore.

At home, the girl told her mother about everything. The woman was glad for her daughter's honesty. The next day, Liza brought the most selective flowers - beautiful lilies of the valley, but they had to be thrown into the river, because her admirer never showed up.

On the evening of the next day, Erast came to Lisa's house, where he met her mother and asked him to sell all the girl's work only to him.

Having met the girl, the kind and intelligent young nobleman Erast decided to end his former idle life.

Despite the differences in class, young people fell in love and began to meet every day. Erast was delighted with the innocent purity and naivety of the girl, different from everyone he knew before her.

The mother, who did not know about her daughter's feelings, wants to marry poor Lisa to a rich peasant. The girl refuses.

When she tells Erast about this, the lovers get closer. Intimacy with a girl with whom a young man was platonically in love changes his attitude towards his beloved. The symbol of purity and purity was destroyed, and Erast began to avoid meeting Lisa.

A few days later, our hero showed up, informing the girl about his departure for the war. To prevent Lisa from trading again while he was gone, he left money for her mother.

A couple of months later, in the city, Liza noticed a luxurious carriage passing by, in which Erast was sitting. At the gate of the house, a joyful girl embraces him, but the man announces that he is engaged. He got into debt, having lost, so he had to marry a rich, aging widow who had long been in love with him. The man asks not to disturb him anymore, holding out a hundred rubles to the girl.

Poor Liza meets her friend Anyuta, through whom she transfers money to her mother, and herself rushes into the pond. Soon her mother, despairing of grief, dies.

Until the end of his days, Erast was not happy and considered himself guilty of Lisa's death.

In the novels and stories of Russian writers until the beginning of the 19th century, plots are most often traced in which reason is placed above feelings. Nikolai Karamzin was one of the first who began to write works in which the feelings of the characters were put in the first place. Such is the story "Poor Lisa", which was not immediately accepted by critics, but the society really liked it. The writer makes you think, focusing not only on logic and common sense, but also taking into account the experiences of the characters, which he masterfully conveys to readers.

A young peasant girl named Lisa is forced to work hard to provide for herself and her mother since their father has died. One day she falls in love with the nobleman Erast. He experiences mutual feelings and is so seriously infatuated with her that he is ready to leave the light and spend evenings only in her company. But this young man is windy and fickle, he feels sincere sympathy, which tomorrow may disappear without a trace. But can a girl so easily let go of her feelings and accept the departure of her lover?
