Viktor Astafjevs did not aspire to be a writer.One day after winning the war veteran had to hear a visiting writer read a work deceitful war stories.Astafieva, awarded "Order of the Red Banner" and the medal "For Courage" deeply offended the word lie.The same night, a story is born "Siberian" and along with it - kolenonepreklonenny classic Russian and Soviet literature.Artwork Astafieva "King-fish" will be written to them later - after 30 years.And yet 10 years old seriously wounded and shell-shocked, he was in peacetime will dream war.
before service were repressed father, who died tragically mother orphanage.Classic deeply comprehended the war as the soldiers advanced, objectively, without "politotdelskih tales" - from the retreat in Zhitomir highway with a "rutted" corpses "their" in the mud up to mediocre-crossing the Dnieper bloody autumn of 1943 without a break, without preparation, without boatsBuilding on the success of the Kursk Bulge.(Then, from ordinary soldiers swam to the other side, only one-seventh, the majority of those killed while crossing 300,000 simple guy just drowned).
However, his mental warehouse of a lot closer than the theme of war, there were aspects of the interaction of man and nature, good and evil."Something very important in the balance of" Nature - Man - Society "broken" - intuitively understood Astafjevs."King-fish" summary assumes its non-linear, multivariate.That's what the genre - the philosophical novel!This is a story about a fisherman and not about the fisherman, about fish and about fish.Let's see!After work Astafieva - all of us!In an almost dreamlike epic manner, against the backdrop of rural life, the author gradually leads the thoughtful reader to the idea of repentance.The central character - a wealthy host Ignatich, lucky fisherman, does not shrink from poaching.After seeing the huge sturgeon once he realizes that one can not cope with.But greed takes over.Sturgeon is the "King-fish".Summary Astafyevskaya product further brings us to the story line when entangled in the net but in the hooks and sturgeon, and Ignatich equally risk their lives.The situation is allegorical.Death equally both faces.And only a fisherman, trying to escape, remembers his sin - the unfair act at Glasha women.When the power is almost gone, he sincerely repents, correspondence asking for forgiveness.Then suddenly loosened fishing line, and there comes a mutual release.
What do you think about fishing whether it is written in a country where the KGB vigilantly monitors the dissidents?What writes classic Aesopian language?What is important is not to lose, trying to display as accurately as possible novel "King-fish" summary?
Astafjevs in the era of stagnation flair classical first finds the solution to global issues that matter: "How can we live?" (After all, in front of nothing. It is clear that the promised 5 years Khrushchev's communism does not occur.) What makes us move forwardthat we back?And then the writer comes to inspiration: we must repent.And Astafjevs as soldier, as a citizen, do not hesitate, this idea poses to society as "King-fish" in the only form in which it is possible to avoid becoming an outcast.
Later in his "picnic by the roadside" Strugatsky brothers in the aching closing scene also invest in the mouth of the main character who is staying in the power of the anomalous zone, saving words of repentance and blessing to all people.It is noteworthy that in the future the growing conflict led to the theme of repentance more actualized than in the form introduced by us in the "King-fish".Summary Astafyevskaya works certainly inspired and third classic - Victor Pelevin on pinching episode in his phantasmagoric novel "The Sacred Book of the Werewolf."Turned into a lame and miserable wolf Mikhailovich (Russian people), realizing the futility of his condition and still repenting, sobbing asks motley cows (Russian Land) for his oil, in order to survive and pay off freeloaders.Pelevin is for this really soulful and touches the soul of the word ...
return to the novel.Its main idea - a vital necessity of repentance.The only way to survive and man, and the "King-fish".Summary Astafyevskaya works leads us to understand the relevance of contrition, essentially important for every person and of society as a whole.Classics of time needed to hear.They, being the salt of the earth, a decade before the disaster hit the alarm.Perhaps, then, in the '70s, in a civilized way to resolve the contradiction and become a democratic country, exposing his hard-hitting historical pages and repented, we have warned the collapse of the superpower.We have become more open and clear, without giving a chance to R. Reagan in 10 years to make the Western World, we simultaneously present financial sanctions by declaring us the "evil empire."After all, in 1974 the Soviet Union was not doomed.
