At the heart of the story is the comic correspondence between two acquaintances, Pyotr Ivanovich and Ivan Petrovich, who happen to meet at the theatre and try to arrange an important meeting.В центре сюжета - комическая переписка двух приятелей, Петра Ивановича и Ивана Петровича, случайно встретившихся в театре и пытающихся договориться о важной встрече.In nine letters filled with syrupy politeness, elaborate social eloquence, and assurances of eternal friendship, the two men are actually trying to outwit and deceive each other.В девяти письмах, наполненных елейной вежливостью, светским красноречием и заверениями в вечной дружбе, герои на самом деле пытаются перехитрить и обмануть друг друга.Pyotr Ivanovich wants to obtain promissory notes belonging to a mutual acquaintance while simultaneously concealing a gambling debt from Ivan Petrovich, whereas Ivan Petrovich tries to recover his money and discover his ’friend’s’ true intentions.Пётр Иванович стремится выманить у Ивана Петровича векселя общего знакомого и одновременно скрыть от него карточный долг, а Иван Петрович пытается вернуть свои деньги и выяснить истинные намерения друга.The correspondence gradually grows more heated, the masks of polite society begin to slip, and their mutual grievances and suspicions become increasingly frank.Переписка постепенно накаляется, маски светского приличия срываются, а взаимные претензии и подозрения становятся всё более откровенными.A sudden and embarrassing denouement comes in the ninth letter: the men exchange notes and discover that Pyotr Ivanovich’s young wife is having an affair with the very same mutual acquaintance, while Ivan Petrovich has known about it all along.Внезапная и конфузная развязка наступает в девятом письме: герои обмениваются записками, из которых выясняется, что молодая жена Петра Ивановича изменяет ему с тем самым общим знакомым, а Иван Петрович об этом прекрасно знал.In the end, both ’friends’ find themselves in a foolish and humiliating position, while their ’friendship’ collapses completely, exposing the hypocrisy and falseness of provincial and St Petersburg society.В итоге оба приятеля оказываются в глупом и унизительном положении, а их дружба окончательно рушится, разоблачая лицемерие и фальшь провинциально-петербургского общества.This English-Russian bilingual book with parallel text is designed for fans of classic literature and language learners who enjoy reading in the original.Это англо-русская книга-билингва с параллельным текстом, созданная для любителей классической литературы и изучающих язык, которые любят читать в оригинале.
