| Summary | "Luutnantti Jergunovin juttu" by Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev is a short story likely written in the mid-19th century. The narrative revolves around Lieutenant Jergunov, who recounts a poignant moment from his younger days, interspersed with reflections on beauty, personal connections, and the social dynamics of his time. The story sets the stage for themes of memory, romance, and the interaction between duty and desire. The opening portion introduces us to Lieutenant Jergunov as he shares a story that has become a staple of his conversations, despite the audience knowing it by heart. The narrative transports us to Nikolajev, a city by the Dnieper River, during Jergunov's youth when he was tasked with important civil duties. We learn of his character—his reserved nature, keen sense of duty, and unacknowledged longing for beauty, embodied in a chance encounter with a distressed young woman named Emilia. Through this encounter, the groundwork is laid for a deeper exploration of Jergunov's feelings and potential romantic experiences, setting an atmosphere rich in emotional complexity.
