Brief retelling of "Pince-nez"
The author begins the story by talking about ordinary things that surround a person in everyday life. He demonstrates his perception of the world, according to which objects sometimes seem to him to have a special uniqueness, which he determines by drawing parallels with the characters of people. For example, he denotes a glass as a worker, a teapot appears to him as mocking, and a thermometer has a respectable appearance.
However, the narrator pays the most attention to small things, for example, a comb, a matchbox. He compares the constant movement of such objects around the room to travel. On this occasion, the author recalls the incident of his missing pince-nez.
One day he decided to read a book. At a certain point, he took off his pince-nez and wiped it. After that I put it aside for a while. However, when he wanted to put it on, the pince-nez was not there. The author was very surprised and began to carefully search for the missing item. He examined the chair he was sitting on, then even took off his clothes and shook them. The pince-nez was nowhere to be found. Then the narrator carefully swept the floor and searched other rooms, even the bathroom. The missing item was not found.
After some time, his home was completely washed, even the back door. And the pince-nez was still not found. The author told his friends and acquaintances about this incident. They also began to help him with his search.
One of them decided to use the method of deduction. He asked many different questions, thought for a long time, but also did not find his pince-nez. His wife then told the narrator that at night his acquaintance, after searching and questioning, made various strange sounds.
And then one day, when the author was reading a book with his new pince-nez on, his pencil fell. He didn’t want to let this item go missing, so he immediately leaned under the chair to pick it up. And that’s where he found his pince-nez near the wall. After that, he told his friends and acquaintances about the discovery and invited them to his home to see where the pince-nez was.
After some time, the author accidentally sneezed while wearing pince-nez. Because of the sneezing, it fell to the floor and broke. The narrator was upset and immediately remembered how many interesting books he had read in this pince-nez, to which he had long been accustomed. During the course of the story, the author periodically talks about the loss of his pince-nez and unsuccessful attempts to find it, as about the journey of this thing, which returned after a while. This is the summary of Osorgin’s story “Pince-nez”.

"
(when you shake off the dust from them or turn over the pages.

“Three Years”

The umbrella was silk, no longer new, secured with an old elastic band; the handle was simple. white bone, cheap. Laptev opened his cash with him, and it seemed to him that there was even a smell of happiness around him. ” - It’s very interesting to use this technique Gogol

The meaning of the story "Pince-nez"
The meaning of the work, although quite vague, is clearly visible in the work. The author wanted to show us that all the objects around us have a real soul, so we shouldn’t be offended by them or be offended by them ourselves. The point is that sometimes they also need a break from us humans. Therefore, they “accidentally” disappear without anyone being able to find them. And then it turns out that the object was lying in a visible place. So he “returns” home and tries to show that he has always been there.
And if we begin to resent what we use every day, then such a thing may no longer serve the benefit of the owner. It will break, fall, disappear, go to someone else, and whatever. But a self-respecting thing will not tolerate insults. Therefore, each item must be treated with respect. He won't tolerate it.
The story also shows that it is very difficult to find a good replacement for a long-loved item. He really didn’t like the narrator’s new pince-nez. It was not comfortable, and generally not as beautiful as the old one. At that moment, he probably realized that he was terribly missing that old pince-nez. It brought him only comfort. At such moments, we think about the true value of our favorite things and objects. This has probably happened to you too!
Notice that the song looked guilty. After its disappearance, it returned a little “beaten by life.” The fact is that when objects disappear, they understand their guilt. But they cannot do anything about it, because the thirst for some kind of freedom can sometimes cloud their consciousness. So, having had plenty of fun, they return and hope for forgiveness from their owners. But our hero treated his beloved pince-nez quite cruelly, so he punished him. That's why it jumped to the floor to break - it didn't suffer any mental trauma. Everything is like people.
But to believe in the life of our household objects or not is up to each reader. Mikhail Osorgin told us a wonderful story that is trying with all his might to show that yes, it is possible. Therefore, it is worth remembering that we need to take care of our things, because they remember everything. And at one point, some offended object can simply leave our lives, even if it has a lot in common with its owner.
