Запечатленный ангел (Napiętnowany anioł)

Николай Семёнович Лесков, Nikołaj Siemionowicz Leskow

В своем произведении «Запечатленный ангел» Николай Лесков живописал быт и жизнь церковных людей. Именно живописал, потому что такого густого, насыщенного, витиеватого, но в то же время доступного старорусского языка, мы больше, пожалуй, ни у кого и не встретим. По сюжету повести, который изложен в виде притчи, Ангел на иконе был опечатан сургучной арестантской печатью. Раскрытие символического смысла названия автор вложил в уста персонажа 2013 старца Памвы: «Ангел в душе живет, но запечатлен, а любовь освободит его»... Мощный, взрывной и весьма неожиданный финал произведения не оставит равнодушным ни одного читателя!
