The cult novel "Crime and Punishment" introduces us, first of all, to the black side of St. Petersburg. These are black staircases with traces of slops, and courtyards-wells, which are more like gas chambers - all this is shown against the background of peeling walls, indicating that the city is stifling and fetid. It is emphasized that in St. Petersburg one cannot always be healthy, strong and cheerful. The city crushes and even strangles to some extent. It is Petersburg, as shown in the novel, that it is an accomplice in malevolent crimes, theories and ideas that are more reminiscent of delirium than common sense. It is Petersburg that reflects human tragedies and nightmares.
Dostoevsky directed special attention not only to a banal description of the squalid rooms of houses, but also directed the reader's thought to symbolic colors and smells. There are explanations for this. For example, the author marked diseases, squalor of life, poverty in yellow. In the novel, you can see the yellow furniture and wallpaper in the house of the old woman-usurer; yellow face of Marmeladov from regular drunkenness; Raskolnikov's yellow “chest-like or cupboard-like” room; the houses of Petersburg are yellow-gray; Sonya Marmeladova went “on the yellow ticket”; the suicidal woman had a yellow, dry face; Sonya's wallpaper in the room is yellowish; yellow furniture fills Porfiry Petrovich's office; on the ring of Peter Luzhin you can see a yellow stone.
Holidays in the country.
Summer is my favorite time of the year. Summer holidays are the longest. This year I spent my summer holidays in the country. Most of the time I walked, cycled, spent time with my friends. When the weather was hot, we went to the river. In the evenings, I helped my mother water the beds in the garden. I liked my summer holidays very much.
ПЕРЕВОД: Каникулы в деревне.
Лето — мое любимое время года. Летние каникулы самые длинные. В этом году я провел летние каникулы в деревне. Большую часть времени я гулял, ездил на велосипеде, проводил время с друзьями. Когда погода была жаркая, мы ходили на реку. По вечерам я маме поливать грядки в саду. Мне очень понравились мои летние каникулы.
