main idea: "Bast" Bunin IA .
last sentence, the point end of the story.During the reading of a product, we are more passionate about the subject than what lies behind the words and actions of the main characters.But then come the hundreds of thoughts, why, why, why ... Story, who wrote Ivan Bunin - "Bast" - is first of all an ode to the extraordinary kindness and willingness to sacrifice.But this is only the tip of the iceberg, the first layer, which offers to dig further, and discover new and unexpected wealth.What's hidden behind the "scenery" unfolding drama?
Outside, ruled by ruthless elements, ready to destroy anyone who dares to oppose it.On the threshold of death is that waiting in the wings without pity and unnecessary doubts.Inconsolable mother dies before her humbly.Only Nefed shows determination to resist these two inescapable and follow the dictates of the soul.
At this point the reader to embrace the feelings that are difficult to convey in words.If the thin thread of light, something inexplicable, and at the same time very familiar, permeates, penetrates and binds together the soul, fate and circumstances.Nefed not trying to explain his, seemingly extravagant desires to go for bast shoes in heavy snowstorm and blizzard.He knows one thing - the soul desires are sinful and argue and argue.The question is - whose soul is called to him in the way: the dying boy's grieving mother, himself and those men lost their way?Absurd, and in some cases even silly, seemingly death Nefed becomes significant, and we can say, the necessary sacrifice.She gave the right to life those who have gone astray from the neighboring village of peasants, and perhaps also to the child.
Once again I want to remind that the name of this story, who wrote Ivan Bunin, "Bast".Summary course, can not convey the subtlety and depth of the feelings of the main characters, so the reading of the original is necessary.
