Детство (Dzieciństwo)

Лев Николаевич Толстой, Lew Nikołajewicz Tołstoj

Самой беззаботной и полной счастья порой в жизни человека считается детство. Именно ей посвящается рассказ Льва Толстого 201eДетство201d, который входит в известную трилогию писателя 201eДетство. Отрочество. Юность201d. Что может быть интереснее и прекраснее открытия мира детскими глазами? Именно они всегда широко открыты, очень внимательны и на редкость проницательны. Поэтому Лев Толстой взглянул вокруг глазами маленького дворянина Николеньки Иртеньева и еще раз показал чистоту и низменность чувств, искренность и ложь, красоту и уродство... Трилогия отчасти автобиографична: многие моменты напоминают детство самого автора, и, надо полагать, многие переживания маленького Николеньки писателю не пришлось придумывать.

Istotnym jej bohaterem jest samo morze, będące zarówno sprzymierzeńcem mieszkańców wybrzeża i ich karmicielem, jak i nieustannym dla nich zagrożeniem. Z niego też wynurzają się różne przedmioty i tajemnice...
