The civil servant Ivan Matveyevich, together with his wife Yelena Ivanovna and a friend who serves as the narrator, goes to the Passage to see an exotic wonder, a live crocodile brought there by a German entrepreneur.Чиновник Иван Матвеевич вместе с женой Еленой Ивановной и другом-рассказчиком отправляется в Пассаж посмотреть на заморское диво - живого крокодила, привезённого немецким предпринимателем.Through his own carelessness and boastfulness, Ivan Matveyevich is swallowed whole by the monster, yet remains completely unharmed and finds himself comfortably settled inside the reptile.Из-за собственной неосторожности и бахвальства Иван Матвеевич оказывается проглочен чудовищем целиком, однако остается совершенно невредим и свободно размещается внутри рептилии.Instead of looking for a way to escape, the hero immediately adapts to the situation and experiences an extraordinary surge of pride.Вместо того чтобы искать способ выбраться, герой мгновенно адаптируется к ситуации и испытывает невероятный прилив гордости.From inside the crocodile’s belly, he imagines himself a great thinker and reformer, planning to proclaim wise ideas to all humanity from there and achieve worldwide fame.Находясь в брюхе крокодила, он воображает себя великим мыслителем и реформатором, планирует вещать оттуда мудрые идеи всему человечеству и обрести мировую славу.The German owner and his wife categorically refuse to cut open the animal’s belly without enormous compensation, while the bureaucratic system and the press begin searching for economic and governmental benefits in the bizarre incident.Немец-владелец и его жена категорически отказываются вспарывать брюхо зверю без огромной компенсации, а чиновничья система и пресса начинают искать в происходящем экономическую и государственную выгоду.The satirical story remains unfinished: the hero continues living inside the crocodile, receiving visitors and devising grandiose schemes, while his wife enjoys the status of a grass widow and society eagerly turns the absurd incident into a profitable and sensational attraction.Сатирический рассказ остается незавершённым: герой так и остается жить внутри крокодила, принимая визитёров и строя грандиозные прожекты, пока его жена наслаждается статусом соломенной вдовы, а общество с готовностью превращает абсурдное происшествие в выгодный и громкий аттракцион.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.
