« Real Writer the same as ancient prophet: he sees more clearly than ordinary people"(A.P. Chekhov). (Based on one or more works of Russian literature XIX century)

“A poet in Russia is more than a poet,” this idea has long been familiar to us. Indeed, Russian literature, starting from the 19th century, became the bearer of the most important moral, philosophical, ideological views, and the writer began to be perceived as special person prophet. Already Pushkin defined the mission of a real poet in this way. In his programmatic poem, which is also called “Prophet”, he showed that in order to fulfill his task, the poet-prophet is endowed with very special qualities: the sight of a “frightened eagle”, a hearing capable of listening to “the trembling of the sky”, a language similar to the sting of a “wise snake ". Instead of the usual human heart, the messenger of God, the “six-winged seraphim”, who prepares the poet for a prophetic mission, puts “coal burning with fire” into his chest cut with a sword. After all these terrible, painful changes, the chosen one of Heaven is inspired by God himself on his prophetic path: “Rise up, prophet, and see, and listen, / be fulfilled by my will ...”. This is how the mission of a true writer has been defined since then, who brings to people the word inspired by God: he must not entertain, not give aesthetic pleasure with his art, and not even promote some, albeit the most wonderful ideas; his job is to “burn the hearts of people with the verb.”

How difficult the mission of the prophet was already realized by Lermontov, who, following Pushkin, continued to fulfill the great task of art. His prophet, “ridiculed” and restless, persecuted by the crowd and despised by it, is ready to flee back to the “desert”, where, “preserving the law of the Eternal”, nature heeds his messenger. People often do not want to listen to the prophetic words of the poet, he sees too well and understands what many would not like to hear. But Lermontov himself, and those Russian writers who, after him, continued the fulfillment of the prophetic mission of art, did not allow themselves to show cowardice and abandon the heavy role of a prophet. Often suffering and sorrow awaited them for this, many, like Pushkin and Lermontov, died untimely, but others took their place. Gogol in digression from the UE of the chapter of the poem " Dead Souls”openly told everyone how difficult the path of a writer, looking into the very depths of the phenomena of life and striving to convey to people the whole truth, no matter how unattractive it may be. They are ready not only to praise him as a prophet, but to blame everyone possible sins. “And, only seeing his corpse, / How much he did, they will understand, / And how he loved while hating!” this is how another Russian poet-prophet Nekrasov wrote about the fate of the writer-prophet and the attitude of the crowd towards him.

Now it may seem to us that all these wonderful Russian writers and poets, who make up the "golden age" domestic literature, have always been as highly revered as in our time. But after all, even now recognized throughout the world as a prophet of future catastrophes and a harbinger of the highest truth about man, only at the very end of his life did Dostoevsky begin to be perceived by his contemporaries as greatest writer. Indeed, "there is no prophet in his own country"! And, probably, now somewhere near us lives someone who can be called a “real writer”, similar to an “ancient prophet”, but do we want to listen to someone who sees and understands more than ordinary people, this is main question.

Russian literature of the 2nd half of the 19th century

“A real writer is the same as an ancient prophet: he sees more clearly than ordinary people” (A.P. Chekhov). Reading your favorite lines of Russian poetry. (According to the works of N. A. Nekrasov)

Nikolai Alekseevich Nekrasov was not a fashionable poet, but was a favorite author for many. Yes, he was and still is a favorite. modern readers albeit a few, but I am one of them. The amazing lines of Nekrasov's lyrics were forever imprinted in my soul: “Why are you greedily looking at the road?” (here is the whole tragic fate), “There are women in Russian villages, with a calm importance of faces, with beautiful strength in movements, with a gait, with the eyes of queens” (before us is the song “dignified Slav”), “Like milk doused, there are cherry orchards, they quietly rustle” (and here, with one or two most expressive strokes, a picture dear to the heart was created middle lane Russia - the Motherland of the great poet). "Quietly"! So soft and amazing vernacular snatched by the poet from the thick folk life from its deepest layers.
The melodious, sincere, wise poems of Nekrasov, often similar to folk song(and many who have become songs), draw the whole world Russian life, complex and multicolored, lost over time and continuing today. What strikes me most in Nekrasov's poetry? First of all, this is his ability to feel, understand and take on the pain of another person, “the wounded heart of the poet”, about which F. M. Dostoevsky spoke so penetratingly: “This never-healing wound of him was the source of all the passionate, suffering his poetry."
Reading Nekrasov's poems, you are convinced that his talent was inspired great power love for the Russian people and the incorruptible conscience of the poet, you understand that his poems are not intended for entertainment and thoughtless admiration, since they reflect the struggle of the “humiliated and offended”, the struggle of the Russian people for better life, for the liberation of the worker from bondage and oppression, for purity and truthfulness, for love between people.
How can your heart not tremble when you read the famous poems about Petersburg street scenes, it would seem, such a distant past, the past nineteenth century! But no! Painfully sorry for the unfortunate nag, slaughtered in front of the amusing crowd, sorry for the young peasant woman, hacked with a whip on Sennaya Square, sorry for that young serf woman Grusha, whose fate was mutilated by the gentlemen.
It seems that A. S. Pushkin, speaking about his successors in poetry, prophetically pointed to Nekrasov as a poet called into the world in order to express in his work the full depth of human suffering:
And a poignant verse
poignantly sad,
Hit on the hearts
With unknown strength.
Yes, that's right, that's right!
Pushkin, as you know, rarely resorted to epithets, but in this case they are plentiful and comprehensive in defining the lyrics of this future poet: Nekrasov’s verse turned out to be really “deeply suffering”, “piercingly dull”, but on the other hand, grasping the heart, “directly for his Russian strings.
I was called to sing of your suffering,
Patience amazing people!
These lines of Nekrasov could be taken as an epigraph to my reflection on the poet's lyrics, if I were not aware of other motives of his poetry.
His Muse is the Muse of anger and sadness. The author's anger was caused by the world of evil and injustice. And the poet's contemporary life provided plenty of reasons for the poet's indignation, sometimes it was enough for him to look out the window to be convinced of this. So, according to the memoirs of Avdotya Panaeva, one of the the best works“Reflections at the Front Door.” How much love and sympathy for the peasant walkers for the truth, how much deep respect for these fair-haired, meek village people! And how deadly bilious his anapaest becomes, as if nailed to pillory"the owner of luxurious chambers" - for his indifference, "deafness to good", for his useless, wingless, well-fed and calm life!
I took the book, having risen from sleep,
And I read in it:
There were worse times,
But there was no meanness!..
I threw the book away.
Are we with you
Such a century sons
O friend, my reader?
When I read these lines filled with anger, I suddenly realized that Nekrasov was not at all outdated, as many interpret today. No and no! Isn't it about our crazy time that a nineteenth-century author, a prophet-poet, said:
I fell asleep. I dreamed of plans
About going to pockets
Blessed Russians...
God! Why, this is about the endless bursting "MMM", Northern and other banks that deceived our parents and other gullible workers!
Noisy in the ears
Like bells are ringing
homeric kush,
Million dollar cases
fabulous salaries,
shortfall, division,
Rails, sleepers, banks, deposits -
You won't understand anything...
Strikingly modern are the lines from Nekrasov’s poem “Listening to the horrors of war ...” - about the grief of a mother who lost her son:
Among our hypocritical deeds
And all the vulgarity and prose
Alone I spied in the world
Holy, sincere tears -
Those are the tears of poor mothers!
They can't forget their children
Those who died in the bloody field,
How not to raise weeping willow
Of their drooping branches.
And this is also, unfortunately, the bitter truth. today- tears of orphaned mothers, whether Georgian, Russian or Chechen ... "everything hurts."
It seems that the poet, as if from a mosaic creating a terrible face of this world, finds it difficult to breathe from anger, recalls the fair lines of K. Balmont that Nekrasov is “the only one who reminds us that while we are all breathing here, there are people who are suffocating …”. This intonation of righteous anger against the unjust order of the world is permeated with his short poem about the desired storm:
Stuffy! Without happiness and will
The night is infinitely dark.
There would be a storm, right?
The rimmed bowl is full!
Often contemporary to the poet life seemed to him "darkness" when the beast "roams freely" and the man "wanders fearfully"; he longed to bring happy time, but, realizing the futility of dreams, lamented:
The only pity is to live in this beautiful time
You won't have to, neither me nor you.
But Nekrasov's disappointment in the possibility of happiness did not extinguish his faith in happy life in my soul. It is with great joy that I take with me on a long journey of life his poems, which teach me to be a thinking, compassionate, fair, sympathetic person. My soul, according to the poet, echoes when I read the lines from his “Bear Hunt”:
There is no holiday life
Who does not work on a weekday ...
So - do not dream of glory,
Don't be a sucker for money
Work hard and wish
So that labor is forever sweet.
My soul sings together with the author the famous "Korobuushka", my heart and mind are in harmony with the world, when Nekrasov's consoling words are remembered:
The Russian people have endured enough...
Will endure whatever the Lord sends!
Will endure everything - and wide, clear
He will pave the way for himself with his chest ...
Yes, “one must live, one must love, one must believe.” How else to live?

Perhaps one of the most important issues facing artists, writers, poets is their understanding of the role of art and literature in the life of society. Do people need poetry? What is her role? Is it enough to have a poetic gift to become a poet? These questions deeply worried A.S. Pushkin. His reflections on this subject were fully and profoundly embodied in his poems. Seeing the imperfection of the world, the poet thought about whether it could be changed by means of artistic word who is given "a formidable gift by the fate of ornate".
Your idea of perfect image Pushkin embodied the poet in the poem "Prophet". But the poet is not born a prophet, but becomes one. This path is full of painful trials and suffering, preceded by sorrowful reflections. Pushkin's hero about the evil that is firmly rooted in human society and with which he cannot come to terms. The state of the poet suggests that he is not indifferent to what is happening around and at the same time powerless to change anything. It is to such a person, who is “tormented by spiritual thirst,” that the messenger of God, the “six-winged seraphim,” appears. Pushkin dwells in detail and in detail on how the hero is reborn into a prophet, at what cruel price he acquires the qualities necessary for a true poet. He must see and hear what is inaccessible to sight and hearing. ordinary people. And the "six-winged seraphim" endows him with these qualities, touching him "with fingers as light as a dream." But such careful, gentle movements open the whole world before the hero, tearing the veil of secrecy from him.
And I heard the shudder of the sky,
And the heavenly angels flight,
And the reptile of the sea underwater course,
And the valley of the vine vegetation.
It takes great courage to absorb all the suffering and all the diversity of the world. But if the first actions of the seraphim inflict only moral pain on the poet, then physical torment gradually joins it.
And he clung to my lips
And tore out my sinful tongue,
And idle-talking, and crafty,
And the sting of the wise snake
In my frozen mouth
He invested it with a bloody right hand.
This means that the new quality acquired by the poet - wisdom - is given to him through suffering. And this is no coincidence. Indeed, in order to become wise, a person must go through a difficult path of searching, mistakes, disappointments, having experienced numerous blows of fate. Therefore, probably, the length in time is equated in the poem with physical suffering.
Can a poet become a prophet, possessing, in addition to poetic talent, only knowledge and wisdom? No, because the quivering human heart is capable of being questioned, it can shrink from fear or pain and thus prevent it from fulfilling a great and noble mission. Therefore, the seraphim performs the last and most cruel act, putting "coal burning with fire" into the dissected chest of the poet. It is symbolic that only now the prophet hears the voice of the Almighty, giving him the purpose and meaning of life.
And God's voice called out to me:
"Arise, prophet, and see, and listen,
Fulfill my will
And, bypassing the seas and lands,
Burn the hearts of the people with the verb."
Thus, poetry in the view of Pushkin does not exist to please the elite, it is a powerful means of transforming society, for it brings people the ideals of goodness, justice and love.
All creative life Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin was a clear evidence of the fidelity of his thoughts. His bold free poetry protested against the oppression of the people, called for the struggle for their freedom. She supported the spirit of the exiled Decembrist friends, inspired them with courage and fortitude.
Pushkin saw his main merit in the fact that, like a poet-prophet, he awakened in people kindness, mercy, the desire for freedom and justice. Therefore, having come into contact with Pushkin's humanistic poetry, we feel the need to become better, cleaner, we learn to see beauty and harmony around. So, poetry is really capable of transforming the world.

“A real writer is the same as an ancient prophet: he sees more clearly than ordinary people” (A.P. Chekhov). (Based on one or more works of Russian literature of the 19th century)
“A poet in Russia is more than a poet,” this idea has long been familiar to us. Indeed, Russian literature, starting from the 19th century, became the bearer of the most important moral, philosophical, ideological views, and the writer began to be perceived as a special person, a prophet. Already Pushkin defined the mission of a real poet in this way. In his programmatic poem, which is also called “Prophet”, he showed that in order to fulfill his task, the poet-prophet is endowed with very special qualities: the sight of a “frightened eagle”, a hearing capable of listening to “the trembling of the sky”, a language similar to the sting of a “wise snake ". Instead of an ordinary human heart, the messenger of God, the "six-winged seraphim", who prepares the poet for a prophetic mission, puts "coal burning with fire" into his chest cut with a sword. After all these terrible, painful changes, the chosen one of Heaven is inspired on his prophetic path by God himself: "Rise up, prophet, and see, and listen, / Be done by my will ...". This is how the mission of a true writer has been defined since then, who brings to people the word inspired by God: he must not entertain, not give aesthetic pleasure with his art, and not even promote some, albeit the most wonderful ideas; his job is to “burn the hearts of people with the verb.”
How difficult the mission of the prophet was already realized by Lermontov, who, following Pushkin, continued to fulfill the great task of art. His prophet, “ridiculed” and restless, persecuted by the crowd and despised by it, is ready to flee back to the “desert”, where, “preserving the law of the Eternal”, nature heeds his messenger.
