About this listen

 "Duel'" - odna iz samyh bol'shih po razmeru povestej Antona Pavlovicha Chekhova. Vpervye opublikovana v 1891 godu v gazete "Novoe vremya". Dejstvie povesti proiskhodit na Kavkaze na beregu Cyornogo morya. Pervoe upominanie o zamysle, ochen' napominayushchem syuzhet "Duehli", nahoditsya eshche v pis'me Chekhova 1888 goda.

Cherez neskol'ko mesyacev posle poezdki po Kavkazu, v noyabre 1888 goda Cekhov pisal A. S. Suvorinu: "Ah, kakoj ya nachal rasskaz! Pishu na temu o lyubvi. Formu izbral fel'etonno-belletristicheskuyu. Poryadochnyj chelovek uvez ot poryadochnogo cheloveka zhenu i pishet ob ehtom svoe mnenie; zhivet s nej - mnenie; raskhoditsya - opyat' mnenie. Mel'kom govoryu o teatre, o predrassudochnosti "neskhodstva ubezhdenij", o Voenno-Gruzinskoj doroge, o semejnoj zhizni, o nesposobnosti sovremennogo intelligenta k ehtoj zhizni, o Pechorine, ob Onegine, o Kazbeke".

Rabota nad povest'yu byla nachata v konce 1890 goda, srazu zhe po vozvrashchenii Chekhova iz Sahalina v Moskvu.©2011 Bibliophonika (P)2014 Bibliophonika Classics
