Summary "Farewell to the Mother" Rasputin and analysis

There are stories in which a great and not a brief content is laid. "Farewell to the Mother" Rasputin wrote this way, taking as a basis the real story. The Bratsk hydroelectric power station, built on the Angara, demanded great losses: the reservoir covered all the settlements in the vicinity. Naturally, people who have lived in these places all their life, have apprehended the death of their small homeland so painfully that it is unlikely that these feelings will be able to convey a brief content. "Farewell to the Mother" Rasputin gave the reader so poetically poignant story, so honest and convincing that it almost immediately became a cult book, a classic of Russian realism.

Ice drift

The story opens an epic picture of the ice drift, which has always been an event of great significance for the inhabitants of Matera. This time the village met him differently, as always. This spring was not a joy, but a tragedy. The village felt its old age and quick death. Many masters stopped following the order. Only the old people supported the life of the village dying on the island, following the customary way. These small but significant details will not convey the summary.

"Farewell to the Mother" Rasputin showed through a lot of images, composed of colorful descriptions of simple rural life. However, among them there are fundamental, symbolic, such as the image of water - life-giving and destructive at the same time. The end will not be running water, but the three hundred-year-old village, it would seem, is also almost eternal, connected with the fluidity of time with its entire existence, is already doomed. One summer remains, and in the autumn this island will be flooded by the Angara.

Conversations

The oldest resident of Matera, Darya, was accompanied by two friends and drank tea from an ancient samovar. Even those old women did not know these years, because the local church, adapted to the warehouse, did not even save itself, not only old books with records of baptisms, weddings and funeral services. Even a brief content should mention this. "Farewell to the Mother" Rasputin wrote with great attention to detail. The old women, starting from the "landmark" village events, tried to recall something about their age.

One of them, Sima, could not participate in the memories, because she was not local, she came here a few years ago. She was Tula, she saw Moscow, whereupon the local people did not really believe, having decided once and for all that everyone would not be allowed to enter the capital in a row. Called Sima Moskovishna and chuckled. During the war, the woman lost almost everything, she was a long time, she gave birth to her daughter, who turned out to be dumb, but now she is old and feeble, but with Kolka, her grandson.

Daria and Nastasya

Frying, high Daria, despite her age, was stronger and more alive than her younger friends, while she did her own work on the au pair, as her son and daughter-in-law did not come every week, on the day off. She could not believe in the transfer and flooding of the village, she could not even imagine herself anywhere else on earth. And Nastasya, judging by her story, quite began to take it: "My heart rests, my legs do not walk."

She and her husband Yegor had a very fast farewell to Mathera. The summary of the story should not miss this line. Yegor was confused or angry at the distribution of his place of residence, that's why he chose the very city where the hydroelectric station is being built, and where he comes from Mater to attack, - Bratsk. When he came to his senses, it was too late to replay. The apartment was already prepared for them and twice reminded that it would be time to move into it. It remained only two weeks to communicate with Nastasya girlfriends.

Cemetery

This shaggy old man - Bogodul - went to his friends in a state close to affect: he could only scold and knock with a crutch. Somehow he managed to inform the old women that the cemetery, where all their relatives and relatives are buried, are being ruined by some strangers: they cut the crosses and saw the night tables. Girlfriends hastily grabbed handkerchiefs and rushed there. Description of the cemetery continues the story "Farewell to the Mother." The summary does not allow to enjoy a simple, but extremely penetrating language, which the writer uses here.

Grandmothers rushed into a fight with two strangers, which cleared the territory of the cemetery. It turned out that this is a sanitary brigade, which is responsible for the cleanliness of the bottom of the future reservoir, that there is a chairman Vorontsov, who knows all about it. The old women drove the aliens to the village council, where they realized that this was true, and that the emotional affection of the local old women worried very little of the state people. The women crawled all the night through the cemetery and hoisted the crossed crosses and tombstones to their former places.

Bogodul

Almost no one remembered where Bogodul had come from. Once upon a time he just went into the village on his boat, drove around the surrounding villages, then yes, he exchanged or sold. And then he stayed, settling in a Kolchak barrack. He always looked like an old man, even Daria and Nastasya did not remember him to others. He always walked barefoot, until the snow. Judging by the curses, he was a Pole. I almost did not speak Russian.

And the old women of Bogodula were loved, despite the fact that the old people called him a convict, who was exiled to Siberia for murder. This old man did not care about the resettlement, he probably planned to die earlier than autumn, though he explained to the clumsy Russian language that he was not going anywhere, but nobody has the right to heat people. In the morning after a skirmish in the cemetery, he came to Daria, drank the tea she had cooked yesterday.

Daria

Daria brewed fresh and told Bogodul what was painful in her soul: how her deceased parents would condemn for having committed such things with her homeland, with their unkempt bones. Mother Darya was afraid of water all her life ... And now she will float ... Leaving Bogodula in the hut, she went out. Probably, cry. She sat on the eel. I looked around. Thoughtfully. Beautiful is the fate destined for them the land, but how old it is! Right now, Daria is seriously starting her farewell to Matera. The brief content of the story can not fully convey the sense of orphanhood experienced by Rasputin's heroine at the time.

The understanding has come that she, Darya, has already done everything from her intended from birth, and it's time to die so as not to annoy anyone. So Paul, son, says that the village in which he lives, for the peasantry is not at all adapted. Some residents of Matera want to quickly put their houses under fire and move to places where there will be no usual trouble. What is their home, their homeland ...

Master

When the village fell asleep, near the mill appeared a small, no one resembling a little more than a cat. This is the owner of the island, which none of the inhabitants have ever seen or even suspected of its existence. But the Boss knew everyone here and everything. And he knew the fate of the village, and foresaw his death. Has reconciled. As always, he began to bypass his territory from the barracks where Bogodul lived, of whom he also knew that he would die together when this last summer was over.

Izba Petruhi, standing in the distance from the others, smelled of death by the very fast, the Boss was never mistaken in these smells. And then, one by one, sighed the old huts, responding to the approach of the Boss, and they also knew their fate, were preparing to give up all the sunny heat and light, absorbed for many years, turning into fire. And the island did not want to die: the grass grew, the cherry tree flourished, the trees were filled with life-giving juice ... But the Boss was already beginning his farewell to Matera. The brief content of this particularly poetic chapter concludes with the Master's tour.

First losses

After the Trinity, Yegor and Nastasya left. She walked along the hut for a long time, talking to the things she had left, warmed the samovar for the last time. You can not take a farm with you to a city apartment. Simply and at the same time colorfully described Rasputin farewell to Matera. The summary of the chapter, where the entire farm is gradually being considered: the grandfather takes a gun and all the hunting supplies into the city, which is also for nothing. And Nastasya will take a spinning wheel with her. The Nurse's cat hid and did not leave to leave. Daria promises to take care of her. Neighbors are all dejectedly silent, watching how quickly and forever the boat goes down the Angara.

Then Petrukha burned his hut. Himself. People silently looked at the fire that was devouring the old house and already seemed to see how soon their homes would be burnt. It just burned first. Petruha's wife, Katerina, was shouting until Daria led her away from the conflagration. Everyone will have the same thing, and Caterina will be easier later, because her turn has already passed. This makes Valentin Rasputin understand in the dialogue of two women. "Farewell to Matera," a brief summary emphasizes this, - a tale of fate that can neither be changed nor stopped.

Paul

He visits his mother less and less often: a lot of work, the foreman appointed - the technique to repair. He was delighted when Katerina settled with Darya. In fact, at his soul cats scratch: the new settlement is uncomfortable - the northern side of the hill, from the water five kilometers. And the land compared with the grandfather island is bad - red, barren. But this is not the main thing. The main thing is the mother. She will not survive here, Paul sees and knows. This is noted repeatedly in the story "Farewell to the Mother." The summary, the analysis of this work and the reasoning of the author also make it clear that Paul himself can never forget his birthplace and get used to the new.

Petrukh together with the house burned all the supplies of his mother - Katerina, so she now completely lived on Darya's food. Old women talk a lot about the reasons for Petrukhi's bad behavior. Why did he grow so useless? Daria believes that because of the indulgences that Katerina did to him, she agrees. Then there was the last splash of the life of a dying village in chapters dedicated to haymaking, as Rasputin described the farewell to Matera. The summary, the analysis of which is submitted in a condensed form, refers to the strange in these circumstances enthusiasm, which was experienced by all the inhabitants of the village prepared for death. People worked with joy and even with passion.

The final

At the very end, the story "Farewell to Matera", the brief content of which is presented here, tells how the houses of the villagers are burning, and then the old residents do not leave, no. They settle in the barrack of Bogodul and refuse to leave it. When the chairman Vorontsov persuaded to leave and leave the island, not a single sound was heard in response. And night came. Fog descended. Barak remained in the darkness and silence, except for a quiet melancholy howl, which the Boss designated his farewell to Matera. A detailed summary of the story completes this episode. But in the reader's soul for a long time remains a bitter sludge.
