The Gooseberries: summary
The story begins on a cloudy day, when one expects rain and it does not came. Ivan, the vet surgeon and Burkin, the high school teacher were tired of walking. Suddenly it started to rain and the friends decided to go to Alehin's house , as it was close by. Alehin, the landowner offered them to change their clothes and to take a bath. Alehin was so dirty that the water turned to brown, although he had access to a nice bath. After dressing up Ivan started to tell a story about his younger brother, Nikolay, who worked in a government office. His desire was to live on a farm , filled with gooseberries, but Ivan never sympathized with this desire. Nikolay kept on living frugally, marrying an elderly and ugly widow who had filthy lucre. After his wife's death Nikolay bought a country house with no gooseberry bushes; however he planted some. Ivan went to pay him a visit. He found his brother older and fatter. Ivan realized that his brother was happy with his new life and that he had changed a lot. He was no more an obedient clerk, but a real landowner. He tended to refer to himself as a nobleman. In the evening, they ate the garden's gooseberries. They were sour and unripe, but Nikolay enjoyed eating them. At the end Ivan concluded that the meaning and objective was not their happiness. Alehin and Burkin were not impressed by his tale. The three men went to bed while the rain was still pattering on the window panes all night.
