(213 words) A short, but absorbing remarkable sense, story of the prominent Russian writer Alexander Ivanovich Kuprin, “Lilac bush”, tells the reader about the story of two people who love each other - Nikolai Almazov and his wife Verochka. It would seem that the theme of love has been raised by the authors since antiquity. So what is the extraordinary nature of this work?
First, refer to the title of the story. The choice of this particular plant is not accidental. Lilac symbolizes love and relationships, the first serious feelings. Indeed, Almazov has been able for many years to maintain the excitement of the first meeting and the awe of the first kiss. Proof of this is the act of the main character Verochka, who, for the sake of her husband’s happiness and professional advancement, decides to cheat. But this lie was in the name of salvation. Also, in the name of saving her husband, Vera was ready to part with expensive jewelry, since not a single diamond could be compared in value to her precious Kolya. A curious fact can also be called the fact that the heroes were able to convince the professor that there was actually a redrawn map and the area itself, on which, as if by magic, beautiful bushes of lilacs blossomed.
Thus, the heroes once again confirm the famous words of Gray, the hero of the fairy tale story A. Greene "Scarlet Sails" that the truth is simple, and "it consists in doing miracles with your own hands." The author of the story “Lilac Bush” was able to prove this with a simple and at the same time elegant example.
