Nature and Man in Contemporary Russian Prose
The deceptive ease of this topic can lead a student to empty reasoning about the beauty and eternity of nature. It is necessary to understand that already in the “rural” prose – the 60-70th years of the 20th century – one of the reasons for concern about the village is the ecological crisis, the destruction of close ties between man and nature, which are traditional for the nation.
