Abstract: Jeanne Loiseau, est une femme de lettres française, connue sous le nom de plume de Daniel Lesueur.Extrait| Chapitre IRien n'a plus de charme qu'un très joli matin d'avril, sur le Boulevard, à Paris, entre la Madeleine et l'Opéra.Le printemps, avec ses rayons, ses frissons et ses sourires, exerce partout sa puissance, mais il est des endroits qui, mieux que d'autres, savent lui faire fête. L'énorme capitale, parmi les brutalités et les frivolités de son ardente vie, exprime avec des délicatesses pénétrantes la fugitive poésie des saisons. En son quartier le plus tapageusement mondain, la grâce attendrie du renouveau emplit les âmes et les yeux d'une délicieuse langueur.On s'en apercevait, à cet instant matinal et d'une exceptionnelle beauté, durant lequel Maxime Dulaure atteignait, de sa marche lente et ferme, l'angle du Café de la Paix.La vaste place, les grandes voies qui y aboutissent, le lourd et somptueux Opéra, resplendissaient d'une fine clarté rose. Dans l'air caressant et lumineux, les voitures de maître, les modestes fiacres, et même les pesants omnibus à trois chevaux, circulaient allègrement, presque sans bruit sur le pavé de bois, faisant pétiller, sous le doux soleil un peu voilé, des myriades d'étincelles arrachées à l'acier des mors et des gourmettes. Peu de coupés ou de landaus ; les victorias reprenaient possession de la chaussée.Contre la façade du Café de la Paix, dans les angles des renfoncements, des familles d'étrangers, sorties du Grand Hôtel, prenaient en plein air leur café ou leur chocolat du matin. Des young ladies blondes, au visage de keepsake, au teint d'une fraîcheur invraisemblable, regardaient de leurs grands yeux, à la fois innocents et hardis, ces jeunes hommes parisiens qui ralentissaient leur marche en passant auprès d'elles.Des officiers s'asseyaient en riant, avec de grands bruits de sabre, ne résistant pas au désir de s'attarder dans ce ravissant décor, de regarder aller et venir les femmes, qui, toutes, portaient épanouie dans les yeux et sur les lèvres, une folle floraison printanière de coquets sourires et de provocants coups d'œil...|

Чтоб дать об нем некоторое понятие, расскажу один из его подвигов. Однажды ночью он и арнаут Михайлаки напали вдвоем на булгарское селение. Они зажгли его с двух концов и стали переходить из хижины в хижину.

Abstract: Charsky used every possible endeavour to rid himself of the intolerable appellation. He avoided the society of his literary brethren, and preferred to them the men of the world, even the most shallow-minded: but that did not help him. His conversation was of the most commonplace character, and never turned upon literature. In his dress he always observed the very latest fashion, with the timidity and superstition of a young Moscovite arriving in St. Petersburg for the first time in his life. In his study, furnished like a lady's bedroom, nothing recalled the writer; no books littered the table; the divan was not stained with ink; there was none of that disorder which denotes the presence of the Muse and the absence of broom and brush.

Abstract: В конце 1811 года, в эпоху нам достопамятную, жил в своем поместье Ненарадове добрый Гаврила Гаврилович. Он славился во всей округе гостеприимством и радушием; соседи поминутно ездили к нему поесть, попить, поиграть по пяти копеек в бостон с его женою, а некоторые для того, чтоб поглядеть на дочку их, Марью Гавриловну, стройную, бледную и семнадцатилетнюю девицу. Она считалась богатой невестою, и многие прочили ее за себя или за сыновей.

Abstract: Nei racconti sono narrate gioie medievali: contemplazione, guarigione, lotta dell'amore contro il potere.Ma è nelle note che avviene l'apocalisse: i cieli si arrotolano, le terre si spalancano.
