''Armoured Train 14-69'' ((ロシア語:Бронепоезд 14-69, ''Bronepoezd 14-69'')) is a 1927 Soviet play by Vsevolod Ivanov.〔Banham (1998, 552), Bédé and Edgerton (1980, 396), Benedetti (1999, 310-314), and Hartnoll (1983, 430). The play was first published in Moscow in 1931 and was first published in an English translation in 1933; see Ermolaev (1997, 29) and Ivanov (1983).〕 Based on his 1922 novel of the same name, it was the first play that he wrote and remains his most important.〔Banham (1998, 552), Bédé and Edgerton (1980, 396), and Hartnoll (1983, 430). His novel was first translated into English in 1933; see Cockrell (1998b, 409).〕 In creating his adaptation, Ivanov transformed the passive protagonist of his novel into an active exponent of proletarian ideals; the play charts his journey from political indifference to Bolshevik heroism.〔Banham (1998, 552), Bédé and Edgerton (1980, 396), and Benedetti (1999, 310).〕 Set in Eastern Siberia during the Civil War, it dramatises the capture of ammunition from an counter-revolutionary armoured train by a group of partisans led by a peasant farmer, Nikolai Vershinin.〔Banham (1998, 552), Benedetti (1999, 310), and Hartnoll (1983, 430, 449).〕 It is a four-act play in eight scenes that features almost 50 characters; crowd scenes form a prominent part of its episodic dramatic structure.〔Bradby and McCormick (1978, 56) and Rudnitsky (1988, 188).〕 Near the end of the play a Chinese revolutionary, Hsing Ping-wu, lies down on the railway tracks to force the armoured train to stop.〔Rayfield (2000, 246).〕 ==Characters== * Nikolai Vershinin, a peasant * Peklevanov, Bolshevik party organiser * Hsing Ping-wu, Chinese revolutionary * Vaska Okorok * Nezelasov, White commander of the armoured train * Nadezhda Lvovna, a refugee White Guard 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Armoured Train 14-69」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
