The Cop And The Anthem
The Cop and the Anthem. O.Henry
On his bench in Madison Square Soapy moved uneasily. When wild geese honk high of nights, and when women without sealskin coats grow kind to their husbands, and when Soapy moves uneasily on his bench in the park, you may know that winter is near at hand.
Сопи заерзал на своей скамейке в Мэдисон-сквере. Когда стаи диких гусей тянутся по ночам высоко в небе, когда женщины, не имеющие котиковых манто, становятся ласковыми к своим мужьям, когда Сони начинает ерзать на своей скамейке в парке, это значит, что зима на носу.
A dead leaf fell in Soapy's lap. That was Jack Frost's card. Jack is kind to the regular denizens of Madison Square, and gives fair warning of his annual call. At the corners of four streets he hands his pasteboard to the North Wind, footman of the mansion of All Outdoors, so that the inhabitants thereof may make ready.
Желтый лист упал на колени Сопи. То была визитная карточка Деда Мороза; этот старик добр к постоянным обитателям Мэдисон-сквера и честно предупреждает их о своем близком приходе. На перекрестке четырех улиц он вручает свои карточки Северному ветру, швейцару гостиницы "Под открытым небом", чтобы постояльцы ее приготовились.
Soapy's mind became cognisant of the fact that the time had come for him to resolve himself into a singular Committee of Ways and Means to provide against the coming rigour. And therefore he moved uneasily on his bench.
Сопи понял, что для него настал час учредить в собственном лице комитет для изыскания средств и путей к защите своей особы от надвигавшегося холода. Поэтому он заерзал на своей скамейке.
The hibernatorial ambitions of Soapy were not of the highest. In them there were no considerations of Mediterranean cruises, of soporific Southern skies drifting in the Vesuvian Bay. Three months on the Island was what his soul craved. Three months of assured board and bed and congenial company, safe from Boreas and bluecoats, seemed to Soapy the essence of things desirable.

    Since the beginning of his narration, we get a gloomy atmosphere which represents Dickens discontent. “volumes of dense smoke, blackening and obscuring everything” here he speaks of the terrible pollution that has infiltrated the town, blocking the view of everything. Afterwards, the quote “...ponderous wagons...laden with crushing iron rods…” appears, signifying the abuse that is done to the working class, forcing them to carry hefty objects and work heavy machinery for someone else's benefit. Later on he writes “...toward the great working town...”, a quote that is very connected to the one before and from that I can deduce the means that lower class are exploited for the benefit of the rich, something that is clearly against Dickens ideals for what it seems.…

    Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, in 1564. Very little is known about his life, but by 1592 he was in London working as an actor and a dramatist. Between about 1590 and 1613, Shakespeare wrote at least 37 plays and collaborated on several more. Many of these plays were very successful both at court and in the public playhouses. In 1613, Shakespeare retired from the theatre and returned to Stratford-upon-Avon. He died and was buried there in 1616.…

    'Mother' by Maxim Gorky

    • 331 Words

    There are books in every language that are landmarks, even turning points, in the history of the literature in that language. Such a book for Russians is Maxim Gorky’s Mother, for, though it was written ten years before the establishment of Soviet power in Russia, we count it the first stone laid in the foundations of Soviet literature. Mother was first published in Russia in 1907, When Gorky wrote it he was a mature craftsman, fully aware of his historical mission. He was, at that time, almost forty years old. For fifteen years he, had devoted himself to literature and public activities. He had already written novels, stories and plays that had brought him international recognition. For his political activities and close ties with the Bolshevik Party he was persecuted by the Tsarist government. More than once he was arrested but this did not deter him. During the Russian revolution of 1905 that is, two years before Mother came out in Russia first met Vladimir Lenin, who was to become his great friend. His vagabond roving in Russia in the nineties of the last century, his social awareness and his revolutionary prescience enabled him to see and understand Russia as few of his contemporaries were able to at that time. He was overwhelmed by the vastness of his native land arid by the beauty and variety of its scenery, and at the same time he was appalled by the ignorance, poverty and needless suffering of his countrymen. The social awareness in all of Gorky’s work was not exceptional in Russian literature. It is to be found in the works of the poets among the Decembrists, whom Gorky called the first generation of Russian revolutionaries These poets, participants in the uprising against the monarchy and serfdom which took place on December, 1825, were republicans at heart and looked upon their creative efforts as a means of serving the people and support…
