and if you also want to get my consultation in this studio, fill out the form on the channel one website, i will be glad to help your family. this podcast is a must-read, i am glaina batnikova. and today we will discuss the work. annoré de baalzac, a classic of world literature, a french novelist. he wrote about 90 novels during his life, combining them into the cycle "the human comedy". and we are discussing this wonderful author today with writer and blogger malka lorrens. malka, hello. hi. malka, here is balzac - he is an expert, so to speak, of human souls, everything is dedicated to him, some class twists and turns, the attempts of young people.

with some i don’t remember, i don’t remember on what topic, another startup, not with the next one, with the very first one, which he paid off all his life, yes, yes, his whole life was spent on the motto, the interest rates are growing, there is no money, what to do, that’s how sometimes works of culture arise in connection with the fact that the author has a debt, like dostoevsky always ache from approximately from this, from this postulate that author.

he lived, the restoration had just happened, that is, the great french revolution, when a complete oops happened, that is, everything - the previous privileges were abolished, and it's good if not with life, yes, that's lucky, then we have the napoleonic era, and the empire, when everything was generally sekost-nakost, because new legislation, absolutely new regulations, and then the restoration of the bourbons, when the old aristocracy. began to get back some of its privileges, privileges and fortunes, that is, this is a continuous period such turbulence, in such times fortunes are made very quickly, quickly, yes, if they are made, that is, that is, everything is simply multiplied by 32, that is, if you are unlucky, then you are unlucky at all, yes, but if you found yourself at the right time, in the right place, then you are great, precisely in connection with this...

it was connected precisely with this, everyone did it like that, because you have to sit, you have to do this thing, so he didn’t succeed, and he decided, it didn’t work out like that, then i will be like this, yes, i’m smart, i will earn on writing, okay, he made money from writing, but it wasn't enough, today we're discussing father gob, the novel story gopsek, these are characters, memes, yes, these are characters memes, which, which, unlike his other characters, are known more or less to everyone, at least to those who went to school.

maybe not quite a c, these two images, firstly, they are quite bright, secondly, they are more or less familiar to everyone, because thank god these are short stories, plus let's not forget about... and not working people either, he generally sucks blood out of all of them, here is a completely monstrous creature, here is father gario, what does he do, he loves, what does the schoolboy remember, he loves his daughters and gives them the last,

dies in poverty, he is a good dad, he has parental feelings, he is selfless, so he is three, four, guess who, he is a victim of inhuman capitalist relations, that's it. passion for his daughters, and this is precisely passion, he madly loves these daughters, he goes out to live in their carriage, lives in this poor, very poor boarding house, where he constantly cuts, he cuts, cuts this boarding house for himself, he practically doesn’t eat anything anymore, this is

his crazy passion for his daughters, and before his death he tells eugene rasteniak, his neighbor and also the lover of one of the daughters, that he made a mistake, and if he hadn’t... given his fortune to these daughters, but kept it for himself, then the daughters would have loved him and would have come to his deathbed, this feeling of his for his daughters, it’s generally normal, it looks touching, maybe not, it looks different, depending on the angle, this the story about father gario is mostly read inattentively, where does it begin, it begins with a description of the boarding house where he lives and its inhabitants, that is, before us...

his projection, only simply divided by a lot, it is interesting, yes, those considerations that drive people there, they are all exactly the same, when some lodger is friends with the owner of the pension and due to this friendship lives for six months for free, and then moves out without paying, this is an absolutely divine story, yes, that is, a person due to this personal relationship due to this sympathy, this friendship, and deliberately rubbing in from friendship.

i want to say about this episode with madame vauquer with her friendship, which turned out not to be friendship, this is in miniature exactly the same thing that happens in high society, only there are simply different stakes, yes, it is clear, yeah, then, what we have in this boarding house, we have, in my opinion, even in plants in their completely helpless reasoning between us about the nature of everything that exists, he is not a philosopher. he, too, well, he is still small, he also tries to somehow divide all this into categories, and there we have it presented, then, family is like peace, humility, struggle and rebellion, and rebellion represents, yes, votrin, votrin, who is actually a thief in law, he is the owner

of a commoner for a minute, and at the same time he lives in this boarding house for this, he lives in a boarding house for the poor, because a thief in law, as we know, luxury is not shown, he does not care for this vanity, you know? that is, he does business, he is like a dashing robber, he is not supposed to fall into effeminacy according to his status, all these branches exist there in parallel, practically in one frame. and it is very beautiful, but at the same time we see through the eyes of rastenyak, probably because he is only trying to make his way into high society, and we see these intrigues of high society and we see what is behind the trine, this brilliant one, we see girls who are ready to abandon their father, who is dying, for an invitation to the vicantess's ball, that is, we understand that the stakes are so high, it is so important to get to this ball that really, not now, not up to the father,

now let him die, and so they have already taken everything they could from him, we seem to think that this should probably horrify rastenyak, but the ending is such that rastenyak looks at this paris, having buried this father goriot instead of his daughters at his own expense, having pawned his watch, he says there is paris, i am going to conquer you, that is , in the end he still chooses this evil disgusting world.

it was a businessman with capital with a name , no, he even says that my daughters at 15 had their own carriage, that is , each of them had a carriage, a coachman, yes, someone cleaned these horses, there were some lackeys, he was rich at some point he was rich, that is, like a modern successful manufacturer who buys a car for each daughter, what's the problem? yeah, it's just a standard of living, no, no hysterical love for daughters behind this no.

in his system of priorities yes from the values ​​remained, love for daughters remained, well

, every person has some kind of super, some kind of super value, he has this one, for everything else, he just doesn't have enough imagination, that is, this happens not because he is so devoted to them, because he simply can't think of anything else, well, that's interesting, by the way, but the twist is also interesting, when he's about to die, we look at him and he seems so naive to us, he loves his daughters so much, and how can we not notice that this... his daughters put him in this position, he blames their husbands for everything, but when he starts dying already wagons, and he shouts to the plant, he says, no, it's all untrue.

and it's about women's money, that is , a woman's money, and the plant wants through a woman to penetrate into high society, and no count, as you rightly noted, will marry any beauty without a devoted huge, and the count's wife on a beauty without a devoted, if this beauty will be a princess, she will have a wife on the daughter of a vermicelli maker without a devoted, that is , it was a dowry, it was a necessity in order to...

the story itself about quotes, and about what the law says about the division, yes, some kind of complex transactions, with some kind of return receipts, it's all quite curious, commerce, banking, there everything, it's all there, just like we 've already read emily zalyato, no, not for the sake of who's whose lover, yes, but for the sake of who

earned what, how much, and how, and how he did it, finally we know this, and can we just like that , draw some wisdom from the book and apply it in life, it seems to me, no, look, you can, yes, you can, uh, depending on what we want to emphasize, because we have there, this, as i understand it, we are smoothly moving on to relationships with money, we are smoothly moving on to your book hypnosis and anesthesia, because i have the main question about this book, and i read it myself with pleasure, it is in my library and i recommend it to everyone.

this is already ourselves, but the topic of money in the book hypnosis and anesthesia, it is important, the topic of money in the book hypnosis and anesthesia takes up very little space, because the book hypnosis and anesthesia is ... the only one of my published books, i have eight of them, it's scary to say, the only one that does not contain friday answers, you are known to most of our

viewers for your friday answers, that is readers write to you in your blog and you answer frankly, gracefully, wittily to their far from graceful witty questions, questions cannot be witty because they...

object, because the feeling after hypnosis how to build some kind of worthy anesthesia out of it, that well, there are no worthy men, there are no princes, well, there are none, and those that exist, they are all molded by some women's hands and women's suffering, victims, let's return to balzac, women's victims and suffering, what does a victim look like? the lover is walking around sad, and what's wrong with you, honey? i'll go, honey

replies, i'm going out the window now, i owe a lot, i lost, i lost and i owe, and if i don't today, then it's all over for me, oh leave me alone, she's like, let's go to the gopsek, let's go, yeah, what, why were you silent, honey, let's go to the gopsek. that is, the female victim is simply a template, yes, she has this configuration, and this is generally plausible, when i read these situations in balzac, i don't understand, here's anastasius, yes, she's a beauty, everyone goes crazy about her, she's rich, she has wonderful husband, she has children, everything is fine, why does she suddenly become, this abuser, well...

her own bedroom, at the same time, children are born, because the title is inherited, that is, this does not mean that these are fictitious marriages, they are arranged according to the principle that for us now, well, it is difficult for us to perceive, well, yes, there lovers come for dinner, they see lovers entering the house, on the one hand, they come for dinner in the house, they know about this relationship absolutely to everyone, yes, it is known to all of paris, naturally the husband is not blind either, but... at some point the husband begins to suspect that he is being ruined, that his money is going into the pocket of this guy, the suspicion begins to creep in that his wife is unfaithful to him,

that's where, that's where it begins, well, so fidelity turns out, it is also in money, because this is a violation of fidelity, it is expressed in the fact that the woman begins to squander her husband's fortune, she begins to squander, what drives women who, in order to pay off debts, then this guy. brings as collateral not his own trinkets, but family heirlooms, family heirlooms are not hers, the vermeshel maker does not have them family jewels, these were the diamonds of the aristo family, actually, this is a very serious matter, well, it is actually described there, that is, there is a lawyer, there is a difficult situation, here of course the husband, here the husband speaks his decisive, no, the same. he bought himself a barony, that is, he is also of humble origin, like goriot, but he is a wealthy guy, and

they have a lot of money, but she herself...

if she were a white seamstress, the daughter of a poor widow, whose only entertainment is going to church on sunday, she would understand her duty, of course differently, because she has in basically a different way of life, she has a different routine, if we have someone who is seriously ill, we drop everything and sit by the bed, yeah, and for dolphins, this is an excess, to drop everything and sit in the after, how long can i sit, are you crazy, do i have things to do? that's when yes when it is necessary she says so, that when it is so in the end you think a little, that this gorio paid for the fact that he sold bread to the poor in a hungry city the road, but no, no, well you can't, no, well you can't do this straight away, after all, we don't have these, these fairy tales leo tolstoy children, such a fate, and gabsek, it is translated as a bloodsucker, gabsek, yes, gabsek, a speaking surname, means something like a barmale, yes a bloodsucker,

yeah.

this is an incredibly smart person with a huge experience , his experience, by the way, is also not typical, yeah, yeah, but he is presented as one of several people who, from the inside, as it were, rule this parisian world, that is , these moneylenders rule the parisian world, they are listed there, one deals with financiers, judges, the third deals with bankers, yeah, and this gopsek he was engaged in. artists, yes, these players and bohemians, he was engaged in bohemians, that is, idlers, yes, this is pure coincidence, there is no, no moral intent in this, that gapsek was conceived by nature in order to punish these frivolous young people for their frivolity, he is simply doing his job, when i talk about his biography, you understand, he is a pirate, well, what is a pirate, it is not a profession, he was in

the colonies. he has been everywhere, he fought, generally speaking, yeah, he fought, no, he says: i own a sword, he is not just, not just with a sword, he survived on some endless islands, this is, this is the history of colonization, this is the beginning of the 19th century, terrible things happened there, and they also made a fortune there, he fought, he colonized, i mean he participated in these seizures,

with such a degree of adaptability, that's what we need to take an example from, he scores, well, okay, but he scores his rooms, he ended up buying out the entire pension, there are empty rooms there,

with completely special priorities, because why, why is he doing all this, for what? and he explains there that he enjoys it, it's a game, he watches how people behave, they play it of course, of course, it's power, and this power is generally selfless, he doesn't do it for the money, because he already has money, he won't be lost anyway, these successful combinations, it's an experience, yeah, this is what a person experiences, in chess, and not in roulette, by the way, yes, an intellectual game, well, i understand, in general, i understand, and if we combine, let's say, the work of balzac, try to find a common thread, do you have one

suspicion that people in balzac's works are very often ruled by the fear of poverty, that is, this impending poverty.

and now about psychology, but i just wanted to thank you for coming and talking to me about balzac, i will emphasize once again that it seems to me that your book hypnosis and anesthesia is written completely in balzac's style, although it is uh, i write much shorter, a collection of essays, very

short ones, more convenient for perception, and i advise everyone to read your book or at least read your blog and the answer to friday's questions, thank you very much, it was very interesting, thank you, it was a must-read podcast, i am the main batnikova, my guest was the great beautiful malka lawrence, and we discussed balzac, father goriot and gapsek. hello, you are watching precious stories, my name is. and it is not at all strange that our guest today is mikhail yuryevich lermontov. mikhail yuryevich is not only a complete namesake, but also a relative of our great poet, and today he is also the owner

of the serednyakov estate, which is located in the near moscow region. you and lermontov are representatives one root, but different branches. who was the first with the atlantean russian letmunt? the first. the scotsman who came to russian land was george lermont, it was 1613, that's where the whole lermontov family comes from. in general, the scottish russian lermantovs

have been in service in russia since 1613, mikhail yuryevich now lives in serednyakovye, this is an estate near moscow, a very beautiful place, it is famous for the fact that at one time the young lermontov spent his holidays there for 3 years when he studied at moscow university, this estate at that time time prinizhalevich came there in ninety- second year, as far as i understand myself, before that... a great poet, it was here that he wrote more than 100 poems, four poems, here

he uttered the sacred words, guys, not a muscovite for us, let's die near moscow, it was here that lermontov's borodino began, it was here that lermontov communicated with the peasants who took part in the battle of borodino, but at the same time it is also necessary to know that lermontov had eight uncles who took part in the battle of borodino. and he communicated for a long time with his penza stolypins, who were heroes of the battle of borodino, and the owner of serednyakovo too, this is the younger brother of the grandmother, all these tables there, they are all brothers of the grandmother, the one who owned them was the brother of the grandmother to whom they came, but they came with the grandmother to the widow, because... stolypin participated in the events of december 25, and as they say, we do not

know the specific reason, but it was at that moment, when the investigation of the reasons was underway, that he passed away, unfortunately, but the memory of him remained, dmitry alekseevich tolypin, the owner of the serednikovo estate, for that period. mikhailovich, well, i know, that means that you established the estate, reconstructed it, although it was state property, everything. this is responsibility for your family, because this is a place that already now answers this question, this is a sacred place where people from all over russia gather to pay tribute to the memory of the great lermont, and the further, the more great he becomes, because we have already discussed with you, when vladimir vladimirovich was in...

with our chinese comrades, they often come here, they all read a couple slermantova and in chinese, in russian, i feel that the chinese will steal lermontov from us, you understand, they will find some chinese roots, because if you recall the description of mikhail yuryevich, he had olive skin, wide cheekbones and large eyes that sometimes became narrow and became a slit, but a pure chinese, you understand, i feel that this is what is going on. don't worry about this, there are

several claims about the kinship of mikhal yurich, especially from our caucasian comrades, recently the british sax institute took dna from the lermontovs on the male line and confirmed that our roots are from the scottish dense branches, although it is also necessary... to say that it turned out to be impossible to confirm this genetic connection with lermontov, because for this it is necessary to take a sample of the remains of mikhalevich, and about 10 years ago.

they say that the architect starov built, but there are no documents, but still , the main ensemble - it was built under him,

then there i remember that there were some factories, plants, greenhouses and many other things under him, and there is a very beautiful park there, in fact so unusual here.

he recalled this relationship in his notes, after the stalypins merchants came to the estate, yes the merchants fersanovs, and the famous vera ivanovna fersanova was first her dad, here she is, first her dad, and then she, such an exalted extravagant lady, but so that it was clear to the audience, she built sandune and petrovsky passage, well, so that it was simply clear, she was the first woman realtor. in russia, what is it? no, well, just baths, she had 40 uh estates in moscow, so here, well, these are 40 estates - this is you never know what kind of estates there were, and these are also such iconic moscow ones, not so poor either, no, she was a unique woman, she lived there before the revolution, then during

the revolution, when the estate was expropriated, she managed to leave for france under the guise of a theater worker together with... shalyapin, in principle, at the very least, she should have been appointed head of the department of culture, i have such a feeling, well, actually , from the investments vera ivanovna, she was a girl, well, besides the fact that exalted, extravagant, she was friends with many famous creative people, we mentioned shalyapin, rachmaninov, valentin sirov, then it’s also interesting, in addition to the baths and petrovsky passage, vera ivanovna built the fersanovka stop, built a six-wheel drive there, so that it would be convenient to travel, and excuse me, in soviet times they didn’t rename it, it’s in memory of kubchikha, who would have known this, it’s generally wonderful, the memory of kubchikha, she - very much honored, it means, mikhail yuryevich lermontov, it was known, it means, the whole history of this estate,

she did a lot of work in the estate itself, well, it was probably necessary to refresh the estate, so to speak, the main thing is, she erected it in memory of lirvuntovi for the centenary, yes. this stella, which is still there, the obelisk, yes, which is still there - it is there, we show it, everyone comes, here is the singer of sorrow and love, no, but she also, look, she also ordered a ceiling for the oval hall, very beautiful, based on the demon, this is also unique, yes, then she ordered a bust, you see, a wonderful dove, yes mikhailovich, also a wonderful ceiling, the artist, yes, exactly based on lermontov's demon, these are wonderful, we saw a bus, also simply wonderful, it seems to me, there is a wonderful mosaic left on the floor in our house, here it is and you enter, very beautiful, you enter the main front door, the main entrance, right

here is this fantastic mosaic, you walk right along it, how it was preserved in such a state is incomprehensible, amazing, i'll tell you, we sorted it out, it was the whole front entrance in this, yes, but during the war they made a stable there with hooves horses, half of them were destroyed when we arrived.

one of the reasons, so to speak, for the duel was natalya solomonovna, so, let's leave that aside for today, yes, well, let's just change it, so, the girls and boys were gathering, they were having a pretty good time, walking, i think they were swimming too, we should find out how they were swimming, in what costumes, but we 'll tell you about that in another program, so, on horses, in kolya they went to worship the icons in sergei in passad, and that's where the famous poem was born.

he wrote it down many years later, that is, she for many years, here is also such, well there is a very interesting story for ermntov sushkova, because so i asked for your love, it was addressed to her, and you put a stone, but the thing is that sushkova all her subsequent life, she used, as they say, this theme, condemnation of lermontov. in his childish childhood experiences of love including, that is why lermontov did not

forgive her for this, therefore she remained in lermontov's works, well, to put it mildly, not who she wanted to be, but this is also needed, so that everyone understood, the power of lermontov's word was so great that a small line of lervantov left. a person in eternity in heaven or on earth, everyone knew this, when they start discussing allermantov, everyone wanted to get something from him, they gave him notes, at the same time, when he left his mark with someone, this person became an outcast, to put it mildly, you can get along with lermontov, yes, well, here we are talking about the fact that the middle is the place in which ... became - a person load-bearing.
