product (summary) Platonov, "The Return" - a heartfelt story about what happens to people in times of war, as the bizarre intersect and intertwine their destinies.And oddly enough, but the main feeling, guiding people in this time of their life, it is not love, and loneliness.Nevertheless Platonov's writing - is the story of a love that could make the way through the thickness of human alienation.
The protagonist
product (summary) Platonov, "The Return" begins with the fact that Alexei Ivanov returned from the war.During the war he was promoted to captain of the guard.The train, which is to take him to the location, does not come immediately.Ivanov forced once again to visit their colleagues.Then he goes back to the station to wait for the same train.
A. Ivanov 35 years old, his skin procedures blow the winds and scorched by the sun, causing a brown shade.Ivanov said voice weary not old, but worldly-wise, you could say, an elderly person.
At the station he meets Masha - woman, 20 years old, he knows it does not close the service, it is also going home.Maybe loneliness, and perhaps even for some reason, but the former captain of the young woman asks permission to kiss her on the lips is not voluptuous and gentle and paternal cheek.It allows, then comes the train.
Alexei first arrives with Masha to her city.He stayed with her for two days, then on the next train still gets home, where he was waiting for his wife and two children.
Platonov, "The Return" written with great skill, and this seemingly unimportant episode of Masha plays in the total fabric of the narrative quite a significant role.What convinced the reader later.
Children wartime: Peter and Anastasia
But not his wife met him at the station, and his son.Wife (Lubov) was waiting for her husband all the time, a lot of work and worry too much, as Ivanov arrived only on the sixth day of his departure from the part, but the train arrived in the morning.Luba was at this time at work, so my father had to meet with parsley.He was 11 years old.It was quite an adult.The father at first did not even recognize his son.
Peter takes haversack father, and they go to the house, where they are waiting Lubov (she did take time off from work) and Anastasia (youngest daughter of Alexei).The couple embrace and stand for a while so, than a very upset little girl, she becomes moody and whiny.The child does not know about his father because when he left, was just a little one year old.
Former captain saw that the war was not only responded to him: his wife has grown old and lost her looks, and his children in their 11 and 5 years, respectively, were quite adult.Peter ran the entire house, Nastia deftly helped her mother with the housework as I could.In other words, Ivanov's family life was self-sufficient and it seems to be no need.
With great psychological certainty described some temporary alienation from her family head Platonov."The Return" - a smart thing, if we evaluate the dramatic narrative.
family sat eating breakfast on the table were the pies, but the kids ate very sparingly, as accustomed to war.And then the little Nastya pushes his second piece and said: "And this is for Uncle seeds."Ivanov looks at his wife and asked, "Who is it?", She replies that really knows, she knew little about him: his entire family in the war killed, so he goes to the children to play.Then again gathered relatives decide economic tasks.They then have lunch (soup with meat), then dinner.My wife wanted to talk privately with her husband, but overexcited children do not fall asleep that night.And difficult conversation between the couple held only at night.
Such product (summary) Platonov, "The Return" in his prologue that precedes the main heroes of the dialogue.
conversation between any and Lesha
When the children slept, a conversation between the couple.It is natural in such a situation, its subject - the faithful wife.Alex asked what the Uncle Senya, and, apparently, wanted to know what all tekproiskhodili events in his absence.
Uncle Senya - Semen is Evseevich.It works procurement officer in the same factory, which employs Luba.He is a man unhappy - lost family.On assurances Luba, Semyon Yevseich feeds to her and to the children the most innocent feelings.During the war, he helped them financially: bring the flour, sugar, clothing.She refused, but Yevseich said that since it is smaller than longs for his dead family, he "warmed the soul."
Alex, of course, my wife does not believe he thinks that Semyon so easy to Lyuba was chosen, and she told him (husband) "makes a fool's head."She protests and says that she worked day and night, and Simon was a child instead of a nanny until they learned on the farm managed by themselves.
So goes the conversation for some time: she defends, he attacks.
At this point, the voltage pumps Platonov, "The Return" reaches its emotional climax (I must say, is not the last).
Then everything calms down.Alex believes that between his wife and her SemenomEvseichem nothing.It even penetrated him some sense of hard to define and asked his wife: "Well, you just once kissed him, all the time you have so happened?" She replied that he had kissed her a couple of times, but she would not.He touched his lips to her cheek very chaste.He said that he forgot himself and remembered his wife, Lyuba and her well, very similar.
«Return" (Platonov story) gives the reader at this point false hope that everything will end well, but if the point was put here, the classic Russian would change yourself.
Treason Luba
And then suddenly Luba confessed to her husband of infidelity, saying that after all there was one man that it "gently treated as it once," and she told him lost to loneliness, longing and searchinghuman warmth.But it was all in vain, because the proximity to the instructor of the District Committee of the local trade unions were strained, painful and alienated, and no woman did not bring joy.
former commander mad with jealousy, awakened by children.In short, there was a scandal.Ivanov immediately wanted to leave, but the woman told him that she loved only him and only to him, it can be happy.
It is time for the second account "emotional outburst" in the book.With great skill he has described by Plato."The Return" (a very brief summary also allows it to feel) like a seesaw: up and down.
Courage Parsley
Then the conversation between parents interjects Peter and tells his father the story of how one serviceman returning from the front, and knew about the treason of his wife, to keep the love between them, invented his countless mistresses, who had allegedly beenat the front.With his wife are reconciled.Nothing brings people together like a common infidelity and gratitude for the withdrawal of the soul from the guilt.This soldier, of course, invented, and people said: the war he was thinking about how to destroy the "fascist plague", and his strength was only love for the motherland and the motherland.
Here's a cautionary tale.Tale Ivanov's son was very surprised, but his decision, he did not change and in the morning went to the station.Ivanov decided to return to the young Masha and start over.
product (summary) Platonov, "The Return" in this place is extremely touching.Reader touches not only the courage of an old soldier, but also the courage to Petka, who dared to say so and such a tone with his father.
scene at the train station.Peter - a true hero of the story AP Platonov
morning, waking up, Peter discovers that the house except Nasty, no one.My mother went to work, and his father, apparently, went to the station.Without hesitation, Peter collects sister, and they run there, where people come and (more importantly) from leaving the train.
Ivanov already in train.He sees the train running children (after a while the captain realizes that it is his children).The one that more strongly limps because his feet wearing different shoes: boots - one and Shoe - other, he drags lower, and he has not kept pace.Greater still have time to wave to his father that he was not leaving.
For the first time AA Ivanov burn the heart of the real, genuine paternal love, and he is the train did not get full speed, throwing his bag on the ground and he jumps, making perhaps the most right thing to do in my life.
This completes the work of Russian classics, as well as a summary of our story."The Return" Platonov wrote with great inspiration and labor.He is a true magician of the Russian word.
