Nikolai Alekseevich Nekrasov is a famous Russian poet. His works are imbued with compassion for the common people. They traced the love of the native land. Such is the poem of the poet "Grandfather." Introduces the work summary.
Nekrasov, "Grandfather" - the beginning of the poem
First, readers learn about the boy Sasha. He has not yet gone to school, but is already very curious. Once, a child saw a portrait of a man in his father’s office and asked who he was. Dad answered sadly that this is Sasha’s grandfather. The boy began to ask his mother why he had never seen his grandfather, maybe he was bad? She replied that grandfather was good, only unhappy. So begins his poem N. Nekrasov ("Grandfather"). Summary summarizes further developments.
Once, the boy saw that his parents were cleaning the house and at the same time looked very happy. He soon found out why. The same grandfather Sasha came to them. From this scene, the reader finds out what honor and respect the elders showed back in the 19th century: the father washed his grandfather's legs, and his mother combed and kissed his curls. And the grandfather was very happy from meeting with relatives. Where did he disappear all this time? Summary of the answer to this question.
Nekrasov, "Grandfather" - continuation of the story
The child and grandfather became friends. In the summer they swam in a boat, went for a walk together. During one of these walks, Sasha's grandfather saw a peasant who plowed the land. He said that he should rest, and he harnessed himself to the plow. To the question of his grandson, he replied that he was sorry for the peasants, because they had a difficult share and hard work. He told Sasha about one prosperous village, whose name is Tarbagatai. The settlement is far beyond Baikal. It was there that several peasants were exiled during the church schism. There, people live full and happy. They have such reference cows that are as thick as city merchants, and horses can be sent to the exhibition even now. There are so many geese that when they are nearby, it seems as if it is a huge white carpet that extends to the horizon.
Here about such a prosperous village told the summary of the story "Grandfather." Nekrasov really wanted such villages. But the slave position of the peasants at that time ruled out such an opportunity.
A singer of the people who were very sympathetic to the peasants
To show the terrible situation of ordinary people in society, Nikolai Alekseevich through the mouth of one of the main characters tells a sad story. Once in one church there was a wedding. The young people already wanted to put on the rings, then one landowner came to pray in the temple of God. He began to resent why the wedding was taking place without permission? He gave the groom to the soldiers, and then the service could last 25 years. The peasants at that time were powerless.
This is evidenced by the summary. Nekrasov (Sasha’s grandfather conveys the author’s thoughts to the reader) could not indifferently look at such a terrible situation of the poor people. Apparently, the elderly man participated in the Decembrist uprising. It was for this that the king was exiled to Siberia. This is not directly written in the poem, but the author hints at it in every possible way. After all, in the evenings, something mastery, he sang songs about freedom, about the terrible share of peasants. He sang about Volkonskaya, Trubetskoy. These women followed their husbands to Siberia, who were exiled there after the uprising. They were not afraid of difficulties and shared their fate with their husbands.
The end of the work
But boy Sasha did not know about all this. Adults did not answer his questions about where his grandfather had been all this time. This is a summary of Nekrasov. Grandfather said that the grandson will find out about everything when he studies history and geography. The boy really wanted to study, and now he is already 10 years old. He became a diligent student and, of course, realized that his grandfather was a real hero. He fought for the rights of the peasantry, was worried about the difficult share of ordinary people, and that was why he was exiled to Siberia. This is no longer mentioned in the work, but a thinking reader will understand this.
