    About this ebook

    Instead of memorizing vocabulary words, work your way through an actual well-written novel. Even novices can follow along as each individual English paragraph is paired with the corresponding Russian paragraph. It won't be an easy project, but you'll learn a lot.

    Anton Chekhov

    Anton Chekhov was born in Taganrog, in southern Russia, and in his youth paid for his own education and supported his entire family by writing short, satirical sketches of Russian life. Though he eventually became a physician and once considered medicine his principal career, he continued to gain popularity and praise as a writer for various Russian newspapers, eventually authoring more literary work and ultimately his most well-known plays, including Ivanov, The Seagull, and Uncle Vanya. He died of tuberculosis in 1904, and is regarded as one of the best short story writers in history, influencing such authors as Ernest Hemingway, Vladimir Nabokov, and Raymond Carver.

      A Malefactor - Anton Chekhov

      A MALEFACTOR

      Bilingual Edition

      English - Russian

      Anton Chekhov

      translated by

      Constance Garnett

      A malefactor

      Злоумышленник

      AN exceedingly lean little peasant, in a striped hempen shirt and patched drawers, stands facing the investigating magistrate.

      Перед судебным следователем стоит маленький, чрезвычайно тощий мужичонко в пестрядинной рубахе и латаных портах.

      His face overgrown with hair and pitted with smallpox, and his eyes scarcely visible under thick, overhanging eyebrows have an expression of sullen moroseness.

      Его обросшее волосами и изъеденное рябинами лицо и глаза, едва видные из-за густых, нависших бровей, имеют выражение угрюмой суровости.

      On his head there is a perfect mop of tangled, unkempt hair, which gives him an even more spider-like air of moroseness.

      На голове целая шапка давно уже нечесанных, путаных волос, что придает ему еще большую, паучью суровость.

      He is barefooted.

      Он бос.

      Denis Grigoryev! the magistrate begins. "Come nearer, and answer my questions.

      -- Денис Григорьев! -- начинает следователь. -- Подойди поближе и отвечай на мои вопросы.

      On the seventh of this July the railway watchman, Ivan Semyonovitch Akinfov, going along the line in the morning, found you at the hundred-and-forty-first mile engaged in unscrewing a nut by which the rails are made fast to the sleepers.

      Седьмого числа сего июля железнодорожный сторож Иван Семенов Акинфов, проходя утром по линии, на 141-й версте, застал тебя за отвинчиванием гайки, коей рельсы прикрепляются к шпалам.

      Here it is, the nut!...

      Вот она, эта гайка!..
