N. S. Leskov
Enchanted Wanderer
Several travelers are encountered on the way to Valaam on the Ladoga Lake.

At the request of the travelers, the former konser (“I am a konser, I was a connoisseur in horses and was in charge of their management for repairmen,” says the hero himself) Ivan Severyanich, Mr. Flyagin, tells his life.

A monk is to him at night and reproaches for taking his life without repentance. He also tells Ivan Severyanich that he is the “promised” son to God, and gives a “sign”

that he will die many times and never perish, before the real “death” comes and Ivan Severyanich goes into the blackies. Soon Ivan Severyanich, nicknamed Golovan, saves his masters from imminent death in a terrible abyss and falls into mercy. But he cuts off the tail to the owner’s cat, which drags pigeons from him, and severely punishes him, and then sends him to the “village of Aglitsa to beat stones with a hammer”. The last punishment of Ivan Severyanich ” and he decides to end his life. The rope prepared for death is cut by the gypsies with whom Ivan comes from the count, taking his horses with him.

Han Jankar sells his horses, and the Tatars set prices and fight for the horses: they sit opposite each other and each other lashes each other. When the sale of a new handsome horse, Ivan Severyanich does not hold back and, speaking for one of the repairers, taps the Tatar to death. According to the “Christian custom”, he is assigned for murder to the police, but he escapes from the gendarmes to the very “Ryn-sands”. Tatars “bristle” the legs of Ivan Severyanich, so as not to run away. Ivan Severyanich moves only crawling, serves as a doctor for Tatars, he yearns and dreams of returning to his homeland. He has several wives “Natash” and children “Kolyok”, whom he regrets, but the audience admits that they could not fall in love, because they are “unbaptized.” Ivan Severyanich completely despairs to get home, but the Russian missionaries come to the steppe “to establish their faith.” They preach, but refuse to pay for Ivan Severyanich ransom, arguing that before God “all are equal and all the same.” After some time one of them is killed, Ivan Severyanich buries him according to Orthodox tradition. To the listeners, he explains that “the asiatic must be led to faith with fear”, because they “do not respect the gentle god without threat”. Tatars bring two people from Khiva who come to buy horses to “make war”. In the hope of intimidating the Tatars, they demonstrate the power of their fire god Talafa, but Ivan Severyanich finds a box with fireworks, he himself is Talafa, turns the Tatars into Christianity and, finding boxes in the “caustic ground”, heals his legs.

In the steppe, Ivan Severyanich meets the Chuvash, but refuses to go with him, because he simultaneously reveres the Mordovian Keremeti and the Russian Nicholas the Wonderworker. On the way, the Russians come across, they are baptized and drink vodka, but they drive the “passportless” Ivan Severyanich. In Astrakhan the wanderer gets to the prison, where he is taken to his native city. Father Ilya excommunicates him for three years from the sacrament, but he becomes a mantra earl “for a quitrent”, and Ivan Severyanich settles on the horse’s part. After he helps the peasants to choose a good horse, he is glorified as a sorcerer, and everyone demands to tell the “secret”. Including one prince, taking Ivan Severyanich to his post as a konser. Ivan Severyanich buys horses for the prince, but periodically he has drunken “exits”, before which he gives the prince for safekeeping all the money for purchases. When the prince sells a beautiful horse to Dido, Ivan Severyanich is very sad, “makes a way out,” but this time he leaves money to himself. He prays in the church and goes to a tavern, where he meets a “prepus-teishi-empty” person who says that he drinks, because he “voluntarily took a weakness”, so that others could feel better, and they do not allow him to stop drinking. A new acquaintance imposes magnetism on Ivan Severyanich for the liberation from “hard drinking”, and so he is extremely poets. At night, Ivan Severyanich falls into another tavern, where he spends all his money on the beautiful gypsy girl Grushenka. Having apologized to the prince, he learns that the owner himself gave fifty thousand for Grushenka himself, bought it from the camp and settled it in his house. But the prince is a changeable person, he is bored with a “love word”, from “emeralds jakhontovyh” in sleep tends, in addition, all the money runs out.
Going into the city, Ivan Severyanich overhears the conversation of the prince with former mistress Yevgenia Semyonovna and learns that his master is going to marry, and Grushenka wants to marry Ivan Severyanich, unhappy and sincerely fond of him. Returning home, he does not find a gypsy, whom the prince secretly takes to the forest for a bee. But Grusha escapes from her guards and, threatening to become a “shameful woman”, asks Ivan Severyanich to drown her. Ivan Severyanich fulfills the request, and himself in search of an imminent death impersonates a peasant son and, having given all money to the monastery as “contribution to Grushin’s soul,” goes to war. He dreams of dying, but “neither the land nor the water does not want to take,” and having distinguished himself in business, he tells the colonel about the murder of a gypsy. But these words are not supported by a directed request, He is made into officers and sent into retirement with the Order of St. George. Taking advantage of the Colonel’s recommendation letter, Ivan Severyanich arranges “helpers” in the address table, but gets on the insignificant letter “fitu”, the service does not go well, and he leaves for the artists. But the rehearsals take place on a passionate week, Ivan Severyanych gets to portray the “difficult role” of the demon, and besides, he gets stuck on the poor “noblewoman”, he “flails for the whirlwinds” of one of the artists and leaves the theater for the monastery.
According to Ivan Severyanich, his monastic life does not bother him, he remains there with horses, but taking a senior vow does not consider himself worthy and lives in obedience. On the question of one of the travelers, he says that at first he was a demon in a “seductive female image,” but after diligent prayers there were only small demons, “children.” Once Ivan Severyanich hacks a demon with an ax, but he turns out to be a cow. And for another, deliverance from demons for the whole summer is put in an empty cellar, where Ivan Severyanich reveals the gift of prophecy in himself. Ivan Severyanich appears on the ship because the monks let him go to Solomki to pray to Zosima and Savvaty. The traveler admits that he expects a near death, because the spirit inspires him to take up arms and go to war, and he “wants to die for the people”. Having finished the story,
