The Forest

The “MediaBook” studio presents one of the best works by the great classic of Russian literature Alexander Nikolayevich Ostrovsky—“The Forest.” The work is included in the school reading list. The book has been read by a popular performer and well-known dubbing actor Sergey Gorbunov.

“Aksyusha (looking out the window). Did Raisa Pavlovna sell the forest? Carp. Sold it to Ivan Petrov. We sell everything, so what for? Aksyusha. She doesn’t want anything left to the heirs; but the money can be given to someone else.

Carp. One must assume so. Complicated.

Aksyusha. They say she wants to give that money to me as a dowry.

Carp. God grant it! Aksyusha (very seriously). God forbid, Carp Savelyich!

Carp. Well, as you like. I mean, it’s better that all of it goes as a dowry than to the same place as the others.

Aksyusha. Where do the others go… and where do the others go?

Carp. Why, you can’t even understand that, my dear young lady, and the tongue won’t turn to say it. Aleksei Sergeich is coming. (He moves away from the door.)”
