Question title of the article is largely rhetorical.Bulgakov wrote about the eternal problems of the Russian land, and not only Russian.But we will try to figure out specifically in the topic, determining the relevance of the novel "Heart of a Dog", and explain why this work is not only eternal, but also topically.
ruin in the same place where it was 100 years ago
most famous saying (quote) from the works of Mikhail Bulgakov: "Ruin is not in the closet, and in their heads," remains true to this day.The story was published in 1925, almost 100 years ago almost.Since then, absolutely nothing has changed.Yes, people started to talk on mobile phones, communication has become faster.The world has become very small due to the Internet, but the Russian people has changed little.
All this makes the relevance of the novel "Heart of a Dog" unquestionable.
Painful as it is to admit, but now there are people that make a strange entrance (and sometimes even your own) in a public restroom, and explain to them that this is not good, there is no way, because their parents are poorly educated.
general decline of education and culture (not only intellectual, but also household) does not add optimism.Children grow sometimes without understanding the elementary rules of decency.But the younger generation to blame too.Parents once inculcate "good and bright," they have to earn money, but today the main "nurses" are the TV and Internet.It is clear that here we can not expect anything good.This generates a "disruption in their heads."Another sad answer to the rhetorical question about the relevance of the novel "Heart of a Dog."
Cult "Artist" as the main symptom of the disease time
generation, brought up on "Muz-TV" and MTV, has grown with the belief that to be an artist, dancer, musician - "it's cool", and all other professions- "It sucks."Soviet formula: "All professions are important, all professions are necessary" - has sunk into oblivion.In other words, it came a strange time when everyone wants to just have fun and entertain - to "sing in unison", instead of working.People believe that the world is big enough, and, according to this logic, be sure there is someone who will still be to work for a common cause in a profession not related to creativity.In other words: "Someone else, but not me."
not about whether this state of affairs, saying FF Transfiguration?The reader still asks a question about the relevance of the novel "Heart of a Dog"?
There is nothing wrong with that, to give a chance to the "ordinary boys and girls" to break into the creative Olympus.But somehow it seems that the real talent - a thing rarely found, and all sorts of reality shows like legitimize idleness, thus raising a generation of individualists and egoists who do not care about the country, they are only interested in personal wealth.One thing is when people succeed, but quite another when they simply dissolve in the total mass.Of course, after the show to sing on TV in restaurants - not to unload the cars, but in the sense that there is not a penny.
This is also somehow say FF Preobrazhensky: Russian man suffers from the fact that in its social reality (and therefore, in life) does not make sense, but he's too lazy to build it yourself,it is easier to urinate in doorways and steal galoshes (or whole life to look yourself).Since then, unfortunately, little has changed and, it removes the question about the relevance of the novel "Heart of a Dog" in our time.
replaced by "ball" and "Shvonder" came "to the consumer»
And it is not clear what kind of phenomenon is worse.Of course, the "consumer" cultured, intelligent, but it makes the world tremble for reasons other than "Shvonder" and "ball-point".As a rule, "consumer" nedoobrazovan, but he has an opinion on everything: about high art, high fashion, good literature.It manages the flow of money and any other flows.In a world where more is subject to the rating, "customer" controls everything, because he embodied the majority.Bulgakov guessing in his work a common type, which in the 20th century overran Europe, and in the 21st and got to Russia.Should I ask myself, what is the relevance of the novel "Heart of a Dog" in our day?
In 1930 he published a book cult Jose Ortega y Gasset, "Rebellion masses."In it, he examined in detail the phenomenon of "mass man."Among other things, he wrote in his book: "The mass man (consumer) feels and thinks himself the master of life."But the thing is that this is not an illusion of the consumer's mind, he really became a master of life.The whole of modern civilization is built under his need.
Man angry or good?Opinion Bulgakov
MABulgakov quite pessimistic about human nature.No wonder he opposed in his novel "good" animals and "evil" person.There was a good dog, I have become a bad person.Not surprising transformation Ball in ball, and that Philip Philipovich, knowing the devastation, yet decided on a bold experiment.
«Russian Frankenstein" not only does not justify the hopes of the creator, but admitted in a quiet and comfortable life of Professor Soviet reality with all its abomination.For Bulgakov there was no glamor and no benefits - one mud.
And if the result of the experiment Bulgakov laid in one lapidary formulation, it will be a "good dog is better than a bad man."It seems that this idea will subscribe for many modern people, which plays into the hands of the works of Russian classics in answering the question of what is the relevance of Bulgakov's novel "Heart of a Dog."
Finally I want to say only one thing, imitating Volgin: "Read and reread the classics, opening it more and more sense."
