Therefore, the theme of the Great Patriotic War for many years has become one of the main themes of our literature. The story of the war was particularly deep and truthful in the writings of writers of the front-line soldiers: K. Simonov, V. Bykov, B. Vasiliev and others. Yuri Bondarev, in whose work the war occupies the main place, was also a participant in the war, an artilleryman who had traveled a long way along the roads of the war from Stalingrad to Czechoslovakia. His novel “Hot Snow” is especially dear to him, because it is Stalingrad, and the heroes of the novel are artillerymen.
(Yuri Vasilyevich Bondarev was born on March 15, 1924 in the city of Orsk.) The novel begins just under Stalingrad, when one of our armies sustained the attack of tank divisions of Field Marshal Manstein in the Volga steppe, which
“Hot snow” is a story about a short march of General Bessonov unloaded from the echelons of the army and a battle. Roman differs directness, direct connection of the plot with the real events of the Great Patriotic War, with one of its decisive moments. The life and death of the heroes of the novel, their fates themselves are illuminated by the alarming light of a true story, as a result of which everything acquires special weight, significance.
In the novel, the battery of Drozdovsky absorbs almost all the reader’s attention, the action is concentrated primarily around a small number of characters. Kuznetsov, Ukhanov, Rubin and their comrades are a part of the great army.
In the “Hot Snow”, with all the tension of events, everything
The image of a simple Russian soldier who has risen to war arises before us in the fullness of expression that Yury Bondarev had never before seen, in the richness and diversity of characters, and at the same time in integrity. This image of Chibisov, calm and experienced gunner Evstigneev. rectilinear and rough driving Rubin, Kasymov.
The novel expresses an understanding of death – as a violation of higher justice. Let’s remember how Kuznetsov looks at the murdered Kasymov: “Now under the head of Kasymov lay a shell box, and his youthful, pale face, recently alive, swarthy, which had become a deathly white, thinned eerie beauty of death, looked in amazement with wet-cherry half-opened eyes on his chest, on the torn jacket, torn to shreds, and excised, just as after death he did not comprehend how it killed him and why he could not stand up to the sight. ” In this unseeing squint of Kasymov there was a quiet curiosity about not having lived his life on this earth.
Kuznetsov feels even more keenly the irreversibility of losing the Sergunenkov driving. After all, the mechanism of his death is disclosed here. Kuznetsov proved powerless to witness how Drozdovsky sent Sergunenkov to his death, and he, Kuznetsov, already knows that he will forever curse himself for what he saw, was present, and could not change anything.
The past of the characters in the novel is significant and weighty. In others, it is almost
The problems of the novel jam we
Title Problem of the novel of a jam we
Roman Yevgeny Zamyatin “We” was written in 1921. The time was difficult, and therefore, probably, the work is written in an unusual genre of “books-utopia”, fashionable in this period. In the life and work of E. Zamyatin, the novel “We” played an important role. The fact is that this novel could not be published in Russia. It was published in both Czech and English. Only in 1988 Russian readers were given the opportunity to read Zamyatin’s novel. Over this novel, he worked during the Civil War.
Under the title of the novel “We”, the author understood the collectivism of the Bolsheviks in Russia, in which the value of an individual person was reduced to a minimum. Apparently, for fear of the fate of the fatherland, Zamyatin transferred in his novel Russia a thousand years ahead. The leading theme of this novel is the dramatic fate of the individual in the conditions of a totalitarian social order. The novel “We” is written in the form of diary entries of one engineer under the number D-503. In the novel Zamyatin was able to clearly raise the most important problems of human life.
The main problem is the person’s search for happiness. It is these searches for happiness that lead humanity to the form of existence that is depicted in the novel. But even this form of universal happiness turns out to be imperfect, since happiness is grown by an incubator way, contrary to the laws of organic development. The world conceived by the author seemed to be perfect and absolutely to suit all the people who live in it. But this is the world of technocracy, where man is the cog in the huge mechanism. All human life in this world is subject to mathematical laws and schedules by the hour. The man of this world is an absolutely impersonal substance. People here do not even have their own names (D-503, 1-330, O-90, K-13). It would seem that this life suits them, they are used to it, to its order. The author gives, in my opinion, a vivid idea of this life: everything from glass, and no one hides anything from each other, there is nothing natural and alive. But behind the wall of the One State, life blossoms in full force. There live even feral people, who did not want a little happiness. The second problem of the novel “We” is the problem of power. Zamyatin very interestingly wrote a chapter on the Day of Unanimity, on the choice of the Benefactor. The most interesting thing is that people do not even think about choosing someone else as Benefactor, except for the Benefactor himself.
It seems ridiculous to them that the ancient people did not know the results of the elections in advance. For them, the Benefactor is the God who descended to earth. A benefactor is the only being who is allowed to think. For him, the concepts of love and cruelty are inseparable. He is harsh, unjust and enjoys the unlimited confidence of the inhabitants of the One State. The culmination of the novel is the conversation of the protagonist D-503 with the Benefactor, who informed him of the formula of happiness: “True algebraic love for man is necessarily inhuman, and an indispensable sign of truth is its cruelty.”
In order to finally solve the task, the author introduces a revolutionary situation into the plot of the novel. There is a part of the workers who do not want to put up with their slavish position. These people have not turned into cogs, have not lost their human face and are ready to fight with the Benefactor to free people from the power of technocracy. They decide to capture the spaceship using the capabilities of the D-503, the builder of Integral. To this end, 1-330 seduces him, the D-503 falls in love and, upon learning of their plans, is first frightened, and then agrees to help them. After visiting the Ancient House and communicating with the living nature of the hero appears soul, which is compared with a serious disease. As a result, the Green Wall explodes, and from there “everything rushed and overwhelmed our city, cleared of the underworld.”
In the denouement of the novel, the beloved woman of the protagonist dies in the Gas Bell, and after the operation to remove the fantasy he regains his balance and happiness. The novel “We” seemed to me interesting and easily readable. The writer put into it the main problems that worried him.
The author predicted the gradual development of totalitarianism in the world. “We” is a novel-warning about the terrible consequences of abandoning one’s own “I”, even in the name of the most beautiful theories. Zamyatin showed how tragically and perniciously the life of people in such a totalitarian state can turn.
