In the novel "The Nest of Nobles", written by Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev in 1858, the writer depicted the life of a typical provincial landowner's estate. Their desire to follow Western fashion. In numerous receptions, balls, trips, squalor and brilliance merged. Against the background of all this, the personal tragedies of the fates of the main characters and minor ones are played out.
The novel begins with loud news about the return of a certain Lavretsky to O.. His persona attracts everyone's attention for many reasons. Fedor Ivanovich found himself at the center of a scandal that broke out in Paris and became famous even in Russia. His beautiful wife was convicted of treason, after which Fedor Ivanovich left her and returned to his native estate, left by him many years ago.
One of the first to know about the return of Lavretsky was the inhabitants of the Kalitins' house. Maria Dmitrievna is the fifty-year-old widow of the prosecutor, her aunt is Marfa Timofeevna, who is welding and dissatisfied with everything, Liza is the nineteen-year-old daughter of Maria Dmitrievna. Liza is a quiet, modest girl, with whom her middle-aged music teacher, German Christopher Fedorovich Lemm, is secretly in love, who is courted by the city's first fiancé, O. Panshin. Lisa has a very meek and submissive disposition. She does not dare to argue with her mother and is ready to marry Parshin. Lisa absorbed the principles of forgiveness, humility and trust in the will of God from an early age.
Upon Lavretsky's arrival, many note that he does not look like a victim. His appearance speaks of good health, heroic strength, and only in the eyes one can notice some sadness and fatigue. Lavretsky does not get bored in his estate, although it is in a ruined state. He reads, does housework, rides horses. The ancestors of Fyodor Ivanovich gave him a healthy body, his father invested in him knowledge and wisdom, brought up in him a strength of spirit.
During the first meeting with Lisa, Fedor Ivanovich draws attention to her. Very soon, despite the fact that Panshin was almost always near Lisa, a very trusting relationship arose between the man and the girl. They understand that they love and dislike the same thing. In one of the frank conversations, Lisa asked Fedor Ivanovich about the reasons for the break with his wife. She assured the man that it was necessary to forgive and submit, and it was impossible to separate what God had brought together.
A friend of his youth, Mikhalevsky, comes to Lavretsky, who, in a heated conversation, says that Fyodor needs to find a pure being who will tear him out of the clutches of apathy. More and more often Lavretsky thinks of Lisa. Suddenly, in the newspaper, he finds a note about the death of his wife, who was at the center of Parisian society. He feels his freedom and, wanting to be honest with Liza, confesses his love to the girl and asks not to marry the unloved Panshin.
The next day, the almost happy Lavretsky is in for a surprise that blocks the path to his personal well-being. His wife and daughter return. The young, charming Varvara Pavlovna was able to charm Panshin, Maria Dmitrievna. Varvara Pavlovna also met with Liza, who stoically endured the meeting with the wife of the man she loved.
Lisa finally explained herself to Fyodor Ivanovich, proving that he was obliged to make peace with his wife and accept her repentance. Varvara Pavlovna, in turn, with the help of Maria Dmitrievna, persuaded her husband to return to her and convinced him of her sincerity. Lavretsky set the condition that Varvara Pavlovna should not leave the estate in O., but the young woman could not live in the countryside and soon moved to Petersburg, and then back to Paris. She took herself a new lover and did not change her life in any way.
Lisa cut her hair like a nun. Lavretsky visited her, but the girl only with a slight wave of her eyelashes made it clear that she recognized the one who remained in her heart forever. Lavretsky visited O., the Kalitins' house and his old manor. Sadness torments his heart, but a fracture occurs that frees him from sad memories, and he continues to live not only for his own happiness.
The text is read by Lyubov Koneva. Intelligible reading, concise emotional presentation of the plot do not distort the writer's intention. Konev's love accurately conveys Turgenev's attitude to this or that hero, but at the same time leaves the listener of the audiobook with the opportunity to independently assemble a picture of what is happening.

Books enlighten the soul, uplift and strengthen a person, awaken the best aspirations in him, sharpen his mind and soften his heart.
William Thackeray, English satirist
The book is a great power.
Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, Soviet revolutionary
Without books, we now can neither live, nor fight, nor suffer, nor rejoice and win, nor confidently move towards that reasonable and wonderful future in which we unshakably believe.
Many thousands of years ago, in the hands of the best representatives of mankind, the book became one of the main weapons of their struggle for truth and justice, and it was this weapon that gave these people terrible strength.
Nikolai Rubakin, Russian bibliologist, bibliographer.
The book is a tool. But not only. It introduces people to the life and struggle of other people, makes it possible to understand their experiences, their thoughts, their aspirations; it makes it possible to compare, understand the environment and transform it.
Stanislav Strumilin, Academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences
Not the best remedy to refresh the mind, like reading the ancient classics; as soon as you take one of them in your hands, even if for half an hour, you immediately feel refreshed, lightened and cleansed, uplifted and strengthened, as if refreshed by bathing in a clean spring.
Arthur Schopenhauer, German philosopher
Those who were not familiar with the creations of the ancients lived without knowing beauty.
Georg Hegel, German philosopher
No failures of history and deaf spaces of time are able to destroy human thought, fixed in hundreds, thousands and millions of manuscripts and books.
Konstantin Paustovsky, Russian Soviet writer
The book is magical. The book changed the world. It contains the memory of the human race, it is the mouthpiece of human thought. A world without a book is a world of savages.
Nikolai Morozov, creator of modern scientific chronology
Books are the spiritual testament of one generation to another, the advice of a dying old man to a young man who begins to live, an order transmitted by sentries going on vacation to sentries who take his place.
Empty without books human life. The book is not only our friend, but also our constant, eternal companion.
Demyan Bedny, Russian Soviet writer, poet, publicist
The book is a powerful tool of communication, labor, struggle. It equips man with the experience of the life and struggle of mankind, expands his horizon, gives him knowledge with which he can make the forces of nature serve him.
Nadezhda Krupskaya, Russian revolutionary, Soviet party, public and cultural figure.
Reading good books is a conversation with the most the best people past times, and, moreover, such a conversation when they tell us only their best thoughts.
René Descartes, French philosopher, mathematician, physicist and physiologist
Reading is one of the sources of thinking and mental development.
Vasily Sukhomlinsky, an outstanding Soviet teacher and innovator.
Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.
Joseph Addison, English poet and satirist
Good book- just a conversation with smart person. The reader receives from her knowledge and generalization of reality, the ability to understand life.
Alexei Tolstoy, Russian Soviet writer and public figure
Don't forget that the most colossal tool of all-round education is reading.
Alexander Herzen, Russian publicist, writer, philosopher
Without reading there is no real education, there is not and cannot be any taste, or a word, or a multilateral breadth of understanding; Goethe and Shakespeare are equal to the whole university. Reading man survives centuries.
Alexander Herzen, Russian publicist, writer, philosopher
