Sergei Petrovich Gedeonovsky, a good friend of the Kalitin family, says that Fyodor Ivanovich Lavretsky, whom he “personally saw,” returned to the city.

Panshin performs his new romance to those present, which they find delightful. Meanwhile, an old music teacher, Monsieur Lemme, comes to the Kalitins. His whole appearance shows that Panshin’s music did not make any impression on him.
Christopher Fedorovich Lemm was born into a family of poor musicians, and at the age of “eight years old he was orphaned, and at ten he began to earn a piece of bread for himself with his art.” He traveled a lot, wrote beautiful music, but was never able to become famous. Fearing poverty, Lemm agreed to lead the orchestra of a Russian gentleman. So he ended up in Russia, where he settled firmly. Christopher Fedorovich “alone, with an old cook he took from an almshouse” lives in a small house, earning a living by giving private music lessons.
Lisa accompanies Lemm, who has finished his lesson, to the porch, where she meets a tall, stately stranger. He turns out to be Fyodor Lavretsky, whom Lisa did not recognize after an eight-year separation. Marya Dmitrievna joyfully greets the guest and introduces him to everyone present.
Leaving the Kalitins' house, Panshin declares his love to Liza.
Chapters VIII-XI
Fyodor Ivanovich “descended from an old noble tribe.” His father, Ivan Lavretsky, fell in love with a courtyard girl and married her. Having received a diplomatic post, he went to London, where he learned about the birth of his son Fedor.
Ivan's parents softened their anger, made peace with their son and accepted a rootless daughter-in-law with one-year-old son. After the death of the old people, the master almost did not do housework, and the house was managed by his elder sister Glafira, an arrogant and domineering old maid.
Having become closely involved in raising his son, Ivan Lavretsky set himself the goal of making a real Spartan out of a frail, lazy boy. They woke him up at 4 a.m. and doused him cold water, they forced me to do intense gymnastics and restricted my food. Such measures had a positive effect on Fedor’s health - “at first he caught a fever, but soon recovered and became a young man.”
Fyodor's adolescence passed under the constant oppression of his oppressive father. Only at the age of 23, after the death of his parent, was the young man able to breathe deeply.
Chapters XII-XVI
Young Lavretsky, fully aware of the “shortcomings of his upbringing,” went to Moscow and entered the university in the physics and mathematics department.
His father’s unsystematic and contradictory upbringing played a cruel joke on Fyodor: “he didn’t know how to get along with people,” “he had never dared to look a single woman in the eye,” “he didn’t know a lot of things that every high school student has known for a long time.”
At the university, the withdrawn and unsociable Lavretsky made friends with student Mikhalevich, who introduced him to the daughter of a retired general, Varvara Korobina.
The girl’s father, a major general, after an ugly story with embezzlement of government money, was forced to move with his family from St. Petersburg to “Moscow for cheap bread.” By that time, Varvara had graduated from the Institute for Noble Maidens, where she was known as the best student. She adored the theater and tried to often attend performances, where Fyodor saw her for the first time.
The girl charmed Lavretsky so much that “six months later he explained himself to Varvara Pavlovna and offered her his hand.” She agreed because she knew that her fiancé was rich and noble.
The first days after the wedding, Fyodor “was blissful, reveling in happiness.” Varvara Pavlovna skillfully got Glafira out of her own house, and the empty position of estate manager was immediately taken by her father, who dreamed of getting his hands on the estate of his rich son-in-law.
Having moved to St. Petersburg, the newlyweds “traveled a lot and received, gave the most delightful musical and dance parties", in which Varvara Pavlovna shone in all her splendor.
After the death of their first-born, the couple, on the advice of doctors, went to the waters, then to Paris, where Lavretsky accidentally learned about his wife’s infidelity. The betrayal of a loved one greatly undermined him, but he found the strength to tear the image of Varvara out of his heart. The news of the birth of his daughter did not soften him either. Having assigned the traitor a decent annual allowance, he broke off any relationship with her.
Fedor “was not born a sufferer,” and four years later he returned to his homeland.
XVII-XXI
Lavretsky comes to the Kalitins to say goodbye before leaving. Having learned that Lisa is heading to church, she asks to pray for him. From Marfa Timofeevna he learns that Panshin is courting Liza, and the girl’s mother is not against this union.
Arriving in Vasilyevskoye, Fyodor Ivanovich notes that there is great desolation in the house and in the yard, and after the death of Aunt Glafira, nothing has changed here.
The servants are perplexed why the master decided to settle in Vasilyevskoye, and not in the rich Lavriki. However, Fyodor is not able to live on the estate, where everything reminds him of his past marital happiness. Within two weeks, Lavretsky put the house in order, acquired “everything he needed and began to live - either as a landowner or as a hermit.”
After some time, he visits the Kalitins, where he makes friends with the old man Lemm. Fyodor, who “passionately loved music, sensible, classical music,” shows sincere interest in the musician and invites him to stay with him for a while.
Chapters XXII-XXVIII
On the way to Vasilyevskoye, Fyodor invites Lemm to compose an opera, to which the old man replies that he is too old for this.
Over morning tea, Lavretsky informs the German that he will still have to write a solemn cantata in honor of the upcoming “marriage of Mr. Panshin and Lisa.” Lemm does not hide his annoyance, because he is sure that the young official is not worthy of such a wonderful girl as Lisa.
Fyodor offers to invite the Kalitins to Vasilyevskoye, to which Lemm agrees, but only without Mr. Panshin.
Lavretsky conveys his invitation, and, taking advantage of the opportunity, remains alone with Lisa. The girl is “afraid of making him angry,” but, plucking up courage, she asks about the reasons for separating from his wife. Fyodor tries to explain to her the baseness of Varvara’s act, to which Lisa replies that he must certainly forgive her and forget about the betrayal.
Two days later, Marya Dmitrievna and her daughters come to visit Fyodor. The widow considers her visit “a sign of great condescension, almost a good deed". On the occasion of the arrival of his beloved student Lisa, Lemm composes a romance, but the music turns out to be “confusing and unpleasantly tense,” which greatly upsets the old man.
In the evening they gather “to go fishing with the whole community.” At the pond, Fyodor talks with Lisa. He feels “the need to talk to Lisa, to tell her everything that came into his soul.” This surprises him, because before this he considered himself a complete man.
As dusk falls, Marya Dmitrievna gets ready to go home. Fyodor volunteers to escort his guests. On the way, he continues to talk with Lisa, and they part as friends. During the evening reading, Lavretsky notices “in the feuilleton of one of the newspapers” a message about the death of his wife.
Lemme is going home. Fyodor goes with him and stops by the Kalitins, where he secretly gives the magazine with the obituary to Lisa. He whispers to the girl that he will pay a visit tomorrow.
Chapters XXIX-XXXII
The next day, Marya Dmitrievna meets Lavretsky with poorly concealed irritation - she doesn’t like him, and Pashin speaks of him not at all flatteringly.
While walking along the alley, Lisa asks how Fyodor reacted to the death of his wife, to which he honestly replies that he was practically not upset. He hints to the girl that meeting her has touched deeply dormant strings in him.
Lisa admits that she received a letter from Pashin proposing marriage. She doesn't know what to answer because she doesn't love him at all. Lavretsky begs the girl not to rush into an answer and not to rob “herself of the best, the only happiness on earth” - to love and be loved.
In the evening, Fyodor again goes to the Kalitins to find out about Lisa’s decision. The girl tells him that she did not give Panshin a definite answer.
As an adult, mature man, Lavretsky is aware that he is in love with Lisa, but “this conviction did not bring him much joy.” He does not dare hope for the girl’s reciprocity. In addition, he is tormented by the painful anticipation of official news of his wife’s death.
Chapters XXXIII-XXXVII
In the evening at the Kalitins’, Panshina begins to talk at length about “how he would have turned everything his way if he had power in his hands.” He considers Russia a backward country that should learn from Europe. Lavretsky deftly and confidently smashes all his opponent’s arguments. Fyodor is supported by Lisa in everything, since Panshin’s theories scare her.
A declaration of love takes place between Lavretsky and Lisa. Fedor does not believe his luck. He follows the sounds of unusually beautiful music and finds out that it is Lemm playing his work.
The next day after declaring his love, the happy Lavretsky comes to the Kalitins, but for the first time in all his time they do not accept him. He returns home and sees a woman in a “black silk dress with frills,” whom he recognizes with horror as his wife Varvara.
With tears in his eyes, his wife asks him for forgiveness, promising to “sever all ties with the past.” However, Lavretsky does not believe Varvara’s feigned tears. Then the woman begins to manipulate Fyodor, appealing to his paternal feelings and showing him his daughter Ada.
In complete confusion, Lavretsky wanders the streets and comes to Lemm. Through the musician, he passes a note to Lisa with a message about the unexpected “resurrection” of his wife and asks for a date. The girl replies that she can only meet him the next day.
Fyodor returns home and can hardly stand the conversation with his wife, after which he leaves for Vasilyevskoye. Varvara Pavlovna, having learned that Lavretsky visited the Kalitins every day, goes to visit them.
Chapters XXXVIII-XL
On the day of Varvara Pavlovna’s return, Lisa has a painful explanation with Panshin. She refuses an eligible groom, which greatly upsets her mother.
Marfa Timofeevna comes into Lisa’s room and declares that she knows everything about a night walk with a certain young man. Lisa admits that she loves Lavretsky, and no one stands in the way of their happiness, since his wife is dead.
At a reception with the Kalitins, Varvara Pavlovna manages to charm Marya Dmitrievna with stories about Paris and appease her with a bottle of fashionable perfume.
Having learned about the arrival of Fyodor Petrovich’s wife, Lisa is sure that this is a punishment for all her “criminal hopes.” The sudden change in fate shocks her, but she “didn’t shed a tear.”
Marfa Timofeevna manages to quickly see through the deceitful and vicious nature of Varvara Pavlovna. She takes Lisa to her room and cries for a long time, kissing her hands.
Panshin arrives for dinner, and Varvara Pavlovna, who was bored, instantly perks up. She charms young man during a joint performance of a romance. And even Lisa, “to whom he had offered his hand the day before, disappeared as if in a fog.”
Varvara Pavlovna does not hesitate to try her charms even on old man Gedeonovsky in order to finally win the place of the first beauty in the district town.
Chapters XLI-XLV
Lavretsky does not find a place for himself in the village, tormented by “incessant, impetuous and powerless impulses.” He understands that everything is over, and the last timid hope of happiness has slipped away forever. Fedor tries to pull himself together and submit to fate. He harnesses the carriage and sets off for the city.
Having learned that Varvara Pavlovna went to the Kalitins, he hurries there. Climbing the back stairs to Marfa Timofeevna, he asks her for a date with Liza. The unhappy girl begs him to make peace with his wife for the sake of his daughter. Parting forever, Fyodor asks to give him a scarf as a souvenir. A footman enters and conveys to Lavretsky Marya Dmitrievna’s request to urgently come to her.
Kalitina, with tears in her eyes, begs Fyodor Ivanovich to forgive his wife and bring Varvara Petrovna out from behind the screen. However, Lavretsky is relentless. He sets a condition for his wife - she must live in Lavriki without a break, and he will observe all external decency. If Varvara Petrovna leaves the estate, this agreement can be considered terminated.
Hoping to see Lisa, Fyodor Ivanovich goes to church. The girl doesn’t want to talk to him about anything and asks him to leave her. The Lavretskys go to the estate, and Varvara Pavlovna vows to her husband to live quietly in the wilderness for the sake of a happy future for her daughter.
Fyodor Ivanovich goes to Moscow, and the very next day after leaving, Panshin appears in Lavriki, “whom Varvara Pavlovna asked not to forget her in solitude.”
Lisa, despite the pleas of her family, makes a firm decision to enter a monastery. Meanwhile, Varvara Pavlovna, “having stocked up on money,” moves to St. Petersburg and completely subjugates Panshin to her will. A year later, Lavretsky learns that “Lisa took monastic vows in the B……M monastery, in one of the most remote regions of Russia.”
Epilogue
After eight years, Panshin successfully built a career, but never married. Varvara Pavlovna, having moved to Paris, “has grown older and fatter, but is still sweet and graceful.” The number of her fans has noticeably decreased, and she completely devoted herself to a new hobby - theater. Fyodor Ivanovich became an excellent owner and managed to do a lot for his peasants.
Marfa Timofeevna and Marya Dmitrievna died long ago, but the Kalitin house was not empty. He even “seemed to have become younger” when carefree, blooming youth settled in him. Lenochka, who had grown up, was getting ready to get married; her brother came from St. Petersburg with his young wife and her sister.
One day the Kalitins are visited by the aged Lavretsky. He wanders around the garden for a long time, and is filled with “a feeling of living sadness about the disappeared youth, about the happiness that he once possessed.”
Lavretsky nevertheless finds a remote monastery in which Lisa hid from everyone. She walks past him without looking up. Only by the movement of her eyelashes and clenched fingers can one understand that she recognized Fyodor Ivanovich.

Love is depicted by Turgenev as the most beautiful, bright and pure feeling that awakens the best in people. In this novel, like in no other novel by Turgenev, the most touching, romantic, sublime pages are dedicated to the love of the heroes.
The love of Lavretsky and Lisa Kalitina does not manifest itself immediately, it approaches them gradually, through many thoughts and doubts, and then suddenly falls upon them with its irresistible force. Lavretsky, who has experienced a lot in his life: hobbies, disappointments, and the loss of all life goals, - at first he simply admires Liza, her innocence, purity, spontaneity, sincerity - all those qualities that are absent from Varvara Pavlovna, Lavretsky’s hypocritical, depraved wife who left him. Lisa is close to him in spirit: “Sometimes it happens that two people who are already familiar, but not close to each other, suddenly and quickly become close within a few moments - and the consciousness of this rapprochement is immediately expressed in their glances, in their friendly and quiet smiles, in themselves their movements" Turgenev I.S.

The denouement comes - Varvara Pavlovna settles in Lavretsky’s family estate, Lisa goes to a monastery, Lavretsky is left with nothing.
Plot of the novel
The main character of the novel is Fyodor Ivanovich Lavretsky, a nobleman who has many of the traits of Turgenev himself. Raised remotely from his paternal home, the son of an Anglophile father and a mother who died in his early childhood, Lavretsky is raised on the family country estate by a cruel aunt. Often critics looked for the basis for this part of the plot in the childhood of Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev himself, who was raised by his mother, known for her cruelty.
Lavretsky continues his education in Moscow, and, while visiting the opera, he notices a beautiful girl in one of the boxes. Her name is Varvara Pavlovna, and now Fyodor Lavretsky declares his love to her and asks for her hand. The couple gets married and the newlyweds move to Paris. There, Varvara Pavlovna becomes a very popular salon owner, and begins an affair with one of her regular guests. Lavretsky learns about his wife’s affair with another only at the moment when he accidentally reads a note written from his lover to Varvara Pavlovna. Shocked by the betrayal of his loved one, he breaks off all contact with her and returns to his family estate, where he was raised.
Upon returning home to Russia, Lavretsky visits his cousin, Maria Dmitrievna Kalitina, who lives with her two daughters - Liza and Lenochka. Lavretsky immediately becomes interested in Liza, whose serious nature and sincere dedication to the Orthodox faith give her great moral superiority, strikingly different from Varvara Pavlovna's flirtatious behavior to which Lavretsky is so accustomed. Gradually, Lavretsky realizes that he is deeply in love with Lisa, and when he reads a message in a foreign magazine that Varvara Pavlovna has died, he declares his love to Lisa and learns that his feelings are not unrequited - Lisa also loves him.
Unfortunately, a cruel irony of fate prevents Lavretsky and Lisa from being together. After a declaration of love, the happy Lavretsky returns home... to find Varvara Pavlovna alive and unharmed, waiting for him in the foyer. As it turns out, the advertisement in the magazine was given by mistake, and Varvara Pavlovna’s salon is going out of fashion, and now Varvara needs the money she demands from Lavretsky.
Having learned about the sudden appearance of the living Varvara Pavlovna, Lisa decides to go to a remote monastery and lives the rest of her days as a monk. Lavretsky visits her in the monastery, seeing her in those short moments when she appears for moments between services. The novel ends with an epilogue, which takes place eight years later, from which it also becomes known that Lavretsky returns to Lisa’s house. There he, after the passing years, despite many changes in the house, sees the piano and the garden in front of the house, which he remembered so much because of his communication with Lisa. Lavretsky lives with his memories, and sees some meaning and even beauty in his personal tragedy.
Accusation of plagiarism
This novel was the reason for a serious disagreement between Turgenev and Goncharov. D. V. Grigorovich, among other contemporaries, recalls:
Once - it seems, at the Maykovs - he [Goncharov] told the contents of a new proposed novel, in which the heroine was supposed to retire to a monastery; many years later, Turgenev’s novel “The Noble Nest” was published; The main thing woman's face it also retired to a monastery. Goncharov raised a whole storm and directly accused Turgenev of plagiarism, of appropriating someone else’s thought, probably assuming that this thought, precious in its novelty, could only appear to him, and Turgenev would not have had enough talent and imagination to reach it. The matter took such a turn that it was necessary to appoint an arbitration court composed of Nikitenko, Annenkov and a third party - I don’t remember who. Nothing came of this, of course, except laughter; but since then Goncharov stopped not only seeing, but also bowing to Turgenev.

The novel “The Noble Nest”, a brief summary of this work will allow us to learn about the hobbies and passions of the young nobles of Russia. During one of his visits to the theater, Fyodor saw in the box beautiful girl- Varvara Pavlovna Korobina. A friend introduces him to the beauty’s family. Varenka was smart, sweet, educated.
Studying at the university was abandoned due to Fyodor's marriage to Varvara. The young couple move to St. Petersburg. There their son is born and soon dies. On the advice of a doctor, the Lavretskys go to live in Paris. Soon, enterprising Varvara becomes the owner of a popular salon and starts an affair with one of her visitors. Having learned about accidentally reading a love note from her chosen one, Lavretsky breaks off all relations with her and returns to his estate.
One day he visited cousin, Kalitina Maria Dmitrievna, living with two daughters - Lisa and Lena. The eldest - the pious Lisa - interested Fyodor, and he soon realized that his feelings for this girl were serious. Lisa had an admirer, a certain Panshin, whom she did not love, but on her mother’s advice she did not push away.
In one of the French magazines, Lavretsky read that his wife had died. Fyodor declares his love to Lisa and learns that his love is mutual.
The young man's happiness knew no bounds. Finally, he met the girl of his dreams: gentle, charming and also serious. But when he returned home, Varvara was waiting for him in the foyer, alive and unharmed. She tearfully begged her husband to forgive her, at least for the sake of their daughter Ada. Notorious in Paris, the beautiful Varenka was in dire need of money, since her salon no longer provided her with the income she needed for a luxurious life.

Smart and resourceful Varvara talked to Lisa and convinced the pious and meek girl to give up Fyodor. Lisa convinces Lavretsky not to leave his family. He settles his family on his estate, and he himself leaves for Moscow.
Deeply disappointed in her unfulfilled hopes, Lisa breaks off all relations with secular world and goes to a monastery to find the meaning of life there in suffering and prayer.

And Varenka again left for St. Petersburg, and then to Paris to continue her cheerful and carefree life there. “The Noble Nest”, the summary of the novel reminds us how much space in a person’s soul is occupied by his feelings, especially love.
Eight years later, Lavretsky visits the house where he once met Lisa. Fyodor again plunged into the atmosphere of the past - the same garden outside the window, the same piano in the living room. After returning home he lived for a long time sad memories about your failed love.
“The Noble Nest”, a brief summary of the work, allowed us to touch on some of the features of the lifestyle and customs of the Russian nobility of the 19th century.

The main character of the novel is Fyodor Ivanovich Lavretsky, a nobleman who has many of the traits of Turgenev himself. Raised remotely from his paternal home, the son of an Anglophile father and a mother who died in his early childhood, Lavretsky is raised on the family country estate by a cruel aunt. Often critics looked for the basis for this part of the plot in the childhood of Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev himself, who was raised by his mother, known for her cruelty.
Lavretsky continues his education in Moscow, and, while visiting the opera, he notices a beautiful girl in one of the boxes. Her name is Varvara Pavlovna, and now Fyodor Lavretsky declares his love to her and asks for her hand. The couple gets married and the newlyweds move to Paris. There, Varvara Pavlovna becomes a very popular salon owner and begins an affair with one of her regular guests. Lavretsky learns about his wife’s affair with another only at the moment when he accidentally reads a note written from his lover to Varvara Pavlovna. Shocked by the betrayal of his loved one, he breaks off all contact with her and returns to his family estate, where he was raised.
Upon returning home to Russia, Lavretsky visits his cousin, Maria Dmitrievna Kalitina, who lives with her two daughters - Liza and Lenochka. Lavretsky immediately becomes interested in Liza, whose serious nature and sincere dedication to the Orthodox faith give her great moral superiority, strikingly different from Varvara Pavlovna's flirtatious behavior to which Lavretsky is so accustomed. Gradually, Lavretsky realizes that he is deeply in love with Lisa and, having read a message in a foreign magazine that Varvara Pavlovna has died, declares his love to Lisa. He learns that his feelings are not unrequited - Lisa also loves him.
Having learned about the sudden appearance of the living Varvara Pavlovna, Lisa decides to go to a remote monastery and lives the rest of her days as a monk. The novel ends with an epilogue, the action of which takes place eight years later, from which it also becomes known that Lavretsky returns to Lisa’s house, where her matured sister Elena has settled. There, after the passing years, despite many changes in the house, he sees the living room, where he often met with his beloved girl, sees the piano and the garden in front of the house, which he remembered so much because of his communication with Lisa. Lavretsky lives with his memories and sees some meaning and even beauty in his personal tragedy. After his thoughts, the hero leaves back to his home.
Later, Lavretsky visits Lisa in the monastery, seeing her in those short moments when she appears for moments between services.
Accusation of plagiarism
This novel was the reason for a serious disagreement between Turgenev and Goncharov. D. V. Grigorovich, among other contemporaries, recalls:
Once - it seems, at the Maykovs - he told the contents of a new proposed novel, in which the heroine was supposed to retire to a monastery; many years later, Turgenev’s novel “The Noble Nest” was published; the main female figure in it also retired to a monastery. Goncharov raised a whole storm and directly accused Turgenev of plagiarism, of appropriating someone else’s thought, probably assuming that this thought, precious in its novelty, could only appear to him, and Turgenev would not have had enough talent and imagination to reach it. The matter took such a turn that it was necessary to appoint an arbitration court composed of Nikitenko, Annenkov and a third party - I don’t remember who. Nothing came of this, of course, except laughter; but since then Goncharov stopped not only seeing, but also bowing to Turgenev.
