Abstract of the book “Deniska’s Stories”
This is a series of stories by the Russian writer Viktor Dragunsky about the boy Denis, who constantly finds himself in awkward comic situations. The prototype of Denis Korablev’s image was the writer’s son, whose name even coincides with the main character of the works. From the summary of “Deniska’s Stories” on Wikipedia, we learn that the action takes place during the USSR, namely in the 50s and 60s in the city of Moscow.
Curious situations haunt Deniska every now and then. He gets into them everywhere: at school (“Main Rivers”), at home, in the yard. The boy has great imagination and resourcefulness. He has his own original approach to every problem, he shows ingenuity and tries to find the right solutions.
- The collection of short stories consists of 70 humorous stories.
- The narration is told on behalf of the main character, who is Denis Korablev.
- The stories are written in a humorous genre, in simple and understandable language.
Each child will imagine themselves in the place of the main character and experience unpleasant moments with Deniska. And also in Dragunsky’s book it is clearly shown that what is “good” and what is “bad”, so your baby will learn to do the right and deliberate actions so as not to get into unpleasant situations like Denis Korablev.

"Enchanted Letter"
Once upon a time on New Year's Eve children played in the yard. And then a truck with a Christmas tree pulled up. When the movers carried out the Christmas tree, the children were filled with delight. They looked at the spruce and enthusiastically shared their impressions with each other. There were three of them: Deniska, friend Alyonka and Mishka. And then the girl squealed joyfully and exclaimed: “Look, detectives!” The guys started laughing at her, but it turned out that no one could pronounce this simple word correctly.
Alyonka was unable to do this because of a lost tooth, and Mishka was dying of laughter, grimacing and mocking the poor girl. But, as it turned out later, he himself could not pronounce the enchanted letter. All he could manage was: “Giggles.” Deniska laughed loudest of all, but on the way home he said “Fuck.” Oh, this enchanted letter!
"Paul's Englishman"
The story begins with a description the last summer day in the Korablev family. On the eve of September 1, dad brought home a large watermelon, so all family members sat at the table and devoured this tasty delicacy. Then his friend Pavel, whom he had not seen all summer, came to visit Deniska.
In the process of communication, it turned out that Pavel did not waste time in vain in the summer, but learned English. Deniska became very envious, because he wasted his time playing games and entertainment. Denis’s mom and dad began to take an active interest in what Pavel could say in a foreign language and why he didn’t use his knowledge. However, as it turned out later, Pavel mastered only one word, and even then it was the name Petya in English - Pete. This is where his knowledge ended.
"Twenty Years Under the Bed"
One cold winter evening Deniska’s parents went to the cinema, and Mishka came to him and invited him to visit. The boy happily agreed and, quickly getting ready, set off with his friend. There were a lot of people visiting Mishka: Andrei, Alyonka, Kostya and he and Deniska. The guys decided to play hide and seek, leaving the kids as losers. It was not interesting to play in the room, so the children went out into the corridor, hiding under fur coats and curtains.
However, Deniska, once again trying to hide, discovered that his secluded place was occupied, and not finding anything suitable, he slipped into Efrosinya Petrovna’s next bedroom and hid under the bed. The boy was thinking in his head how wonderful it would be when Kostya discovered him here and was surprised at his resourcefulness. But events began to happen not according to plan.
Instead of Kostik an old lady came into the room and went to bed turning off the lights in the room. Deniska panicked, a lot of thoughts were spinning in his head, but he couldn’t come up with anything suitable. After sitting under the bed for quite a long time and completely despairing, Denis accidentally knocked on the trough that stood under the bed. The old woman woke up and started screaming. With difficulty, the boy got out from under the bed, sneezing from the accumulated dust, and, confusing the closet with the door of the room, climbed into it. Well, then Denis’s dad came and rescued his son from “20 years of captivity,” since it seemed to the boy that he had been sitting under the bed for an eternity.
"The secret becomes clear"
This funny story happened to Deniska, when he didn't want to eat semolina porridge. Mom insisted, but the boy could not cram the hated semolina into himself. Then the mother promised that she would take her son to the Kremlin if he emptied his plate. Deniska really wanted to get there, so he tried to swallow the porridge. He tried in every possible way to improve its taste, but the semolina only became more disgusting.
When his mother left the room, the boy decided to act immediately: he took the plate and poured it out the window. Returning to his place, he imagined what a wonderful day it would be, and that he would finally get to the Kremlin! However, Denis's dreams were interrupted by a knock on the door. An angry man in a suit stood on the threshold, and semolina porridge flowed down his clothes in thin streams. At this point our hero realized that he couldn’t see the Kremlin like he could see his own ears, and that everything secret would sooner or later become clear.
"The Main Rivers of America"
This funny incident happened to Deniska at school. The boy did not learn his lessons because he was busy playing games all evening. In the morning, late for school, he realized that he needed to learn poetry and prepare for geography by learning the rivers of America. Korablev was called to the blackboard, and his teacher Raisa Ivanovna wanted to hear Nekrasov’s poem. But Denis began to read Pushkin, pretending to be a fool. His friend Mishka suggested that he needed to learn a poem by Nekrasov, but Denis could not hear the name of the poem and said: “A little man with a marigold.”
Raisa Ivanovna did not want to give Denis a bad grade, so she wanted him to answer at least something. She asked to name the largest river in America. The boy didn’t know what to answer, but classmate Petya decided to help by writing the name of the river on a piece of paper. Denis said with relief: “Misi-pisi.” Of course, this was wrong, and the whole class, including the teacher, began to laugh until they cried.
Having received a bad mark in his diary, Deniska made a promise to himself that he would always study his lessons.
"Dog Thief"
When Deniska was at the dacha, a most amusing story happened to him. One day his neighbor asked him to look after his dog Chapka, while he went to the river to swim. The boy played with the dog, but soon he got tired of this activity. And then a friend Vanya walked past the fence with a fishing rod and called Denis to the river to fish. The boy said that he could not leave the dog, but Vanka advised him to hide Chapka in the house.
Having placed the dog under house arrest, Deniska decided to catch up with his friend, went around the corner, but saw Chapka. Deciding that the dog had escaped, he dragged the dog home. Having managed, Denis again went to the river, but soon saw Chapka again. She was angry with the boy and did not want to go home. So Denis covered her with nonsense and dragged her home. Throwing the dog into the room, the boy started to run to Vanka, but no such luck! He again met...Chapka, returned home again with the dog and, having checked all the locks and doors, ran tired to the river.
When Deniska ran to the river, he saw that his friend had already caught fish and was going home. Then they decided to return to the river after lunch and went to the house of neighbor Boris Klimentievich. When the guys approached the house, they saw a whole crowd near the gate. It turned out that Deniska stole other people's dogs, mistaking them for Chapka. The story ended happily, the owners found their Scottish terriers, and a neighbor nicknamed Denis “The Dog Thief.”

Ideological and artistic originality of the novel 597
The work of the famous Don writer Mikhail Sholokhov began with his writing short stories that reflected everything that the writer saw or experienced himself. His first collections were “Azure Steppe” and “Don Stories”. In these stories, Sholokhov depicts everything that happened in his era, when the tragic and terrible events of the post-revolutionary period took place: a person could not find himself, there was a lot of death and violence.
History of the collection
Sholokhov began writing “Don Stories” (a summary of the chapters will be presented in this article) in 1923. Then he was still a young and inexperienced writer. It is known that initially all the stories were published separately, and only in 1926 they were published as a separate book.
Sholokhov republished his collection in 1931. During this time, the number of stories in it changed: initially there were nineteen, but in the second edition there were already twenty-seven. After this, the book was no longer published for twenty-five years.
Collection structure
The collection “Don Stories” by Sholokhov (a brief summary will be presented below) consists of nineteen works. This collection begins with the story “Birthmark,” which is the epigraph to the entire work. The second author placed his work “The Shepherd”, where he shows how helpless a person can be. A world of cows struck by plague. The shepherd and those who come to help are unable to stop the epidemic.
The third story is “Food Commissar”, which is usually the one that readers most often choose to read. Subsequent works are usually known to readers: “Shibalkovo Seed”, “Alyoshka’s Heart”, “Melon Plant”, “The Path is a Little Road”, “Nakhalenok” and others. In the story "Kolovert" the author shows how complex and difficult the fate of the peasants is.
The collection “Don Stories” by Sholokhov (a summary of chapters and parts will be presented below) also includes the following works: “Family Man”, “Chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council of the Republic”, “Crooked Stitch”, “Resentment”, “Mortal Enemy”, “ Foal", "Galoshes", "Wormhole" and "Azure Steppe". The last story in this Sholokhov cycle was the story “The Farmhands.” It tells about the fate of Fyodor, who at first was a farm laborer, and then decided to leave his owner.
Theme and idea of the collection
The main and, probably, the only theme of the entire collection “Don Stories” by Sholokhov, a brief summary of which will be presented in this article, is a description of the life of the Don Cossacks. Before Mikhail Alexandrovich, there were already writers in classical literature who tried to imagine the life and way of life of the Don Cossacks. But Sholokhov did it truthfully and honestly, because he himself grew up and lived among them. Therefore, he did not need to study their life, he knew it perfectly.
In each of his stories in the collection, the author tries to show the main idea: there is nothing more important than educating the younger generation in the traditions of the older one. Once you destroy the old world with blood and death, then it will be difficult to rise and wash yourself from it.
Characteristics of the heroes of “Don Stories”
The heroes of the collection of “Don Stories” by Sholokhov, a brief summary of which will be of interest to both schoolchildren and adults, are most often people who really existed. These real characters, about whom Mikhail Alexandrovich wrote, lived in the village of Kargin near the village of Veshenskaya, Rostov region. But, undoubtedly, the author uses both fiction and means of expression to create a more complete feeling for the reader of the story he is telling.
Sholokhov's heroes have to go through the trials of death, blood and hunger, so most often they are strong personalities. In Sholokhov’s stories, all Cossacks can be divided into two types. The first is the older generation, which is completely immersed in tradition. They think about family well-being. There are a majority of such Cossacks in Sholokhov’s stories. The second, shown by Mikhail Sholokhov in “Don Stories,” a summary of which is in this article, is represented by young and active Cossacks. They are trying to destroy the structure that has developed over the years.
M.A. Sholokhov “Don Stories”: a summary of the chapter “Aleshkin’s Heart”
The main character of the story is a small boy who was barely fourteen years old. But in terms of his physical development, he is weak and does not look his age at all. And all this because his family has been starving for a long time. His close relatives died from malnutrition: his mother and sister. Alexey is trying to fight for life, but it is difficult for him, since his sister was simply killed because of the stew. Alexey saw how people ceased to be humane and humane, and this scared him.
The story of the death of Alyosha’s sister is monstrous. The Polish woman was so hungry that she decided to break into someone else’s house to find at least some food. Makarchika, the owner of the hut, did not tolerate the thief and, swinging, hit him on the head with an iron. Because of this, Polka died. But this woman once bought a house from these children for just a mug of milk and a few handfuls of flour.
After the death of his sister, Leshka had been on hunger strike for five months. But he still tried to withstand the test and survive. He had nowhere to go: the house was sold, and the boy suffered from the cold. Then he went to work as a hired worker, but here he received nothing except beatings. Leshka died saving a child, whom the bandits wanted to hide behind.
The main character of this story in Sholokhov’s collection “Don Stories” (the contents of the chapters are presented in the article) is Minka, who is already eight years old. He lives with his mother and grandfather. Because of his restless and restless character, everyone around him calls him not by his name, but by Nakhalenko. There is another meaning in the nickname: all the residents of the village know that he was born without a father, and that his mother was never married.
Soon the boy's father returns from the war. Before the war, Thomas was a local shepherd. Very quickly father and son become close. Soon Foma becomes the collective farm chairman. People from the food detachment appear in their village and demand that they give up the wheat. Minkin’s grandfather voluntarily gave the grain, but the pop neighbor did not want to do this. But Nakhalenok showed where the cache was. After this incident, the priest harbored a grudge against him, and all the village children stopped communicating with him.
Sholokhov “Don Stories”: a summary of the chapter “Family Man”
The main character of the story is Mikishara. He married early, and his wife gave him nine sons, but she soon died of fever. When Soviet power was established, the two eldest sons went to fight.

Analysis of stories
“Don Stories” by Sholokhov, a summary of which can be found in this article, is quite realistic. In them, the author tries to talk about the war, but does it truthfully. There is no romance in what is happening on Grazhdanskaya, and Sholokhov openly states this. But the Don writer sees beauty in something else, showing how beautiful the Cossack people are, their speech, life and way of life.
Mikhail Alexandrovich created his stories so that the reader could think about the meaning of life, what war brings and what every person does to ensure that it does not happen again. Therefore, these Sholokhov works are also relevant for modern society.
It is worth reading them, since Sholokhov in “Don Stories,” a summary of which is presented in this article, demonstrates the main and important lesson that we must not forget the history that was created by death and blood. The author constantly reminds the reader that in any situation it is necessary to remain human.
