Consider a summary of Tolstoy's Aelita. Reviews about this work are so positive that I want to immediately open the book and delve into reading.
The events of the novel begin with a small announcement written in ink on a small gray sheet, which was attached to a nightstand for posters in Petrograd on Krasniy Zory Street. The main character of Aelita A. Tolstoy has an incredible idea - he wants to fly away from the planet. For more details, see the summary of Tolstoy’s Aelita.
What happened?
An announcement appeared at 4 p.m. and it was attractive because it invited those wishing to go on a long journey to Mars. This strange announcement attracted the attention of a correspondent from America, Skiles, who had no doubt that this was utter nonsense or pure quackery. However, Skiles is still intrigued and wants to visit this madman, because his address is indicated.
At the same time, a retired soldier wandering around the city hoping to find work became interested in the unusual invitation. The information is causing him a surge of enthusiasm, he believes that this proposal is worth taking.
The correspondent hurries to visit the man who so easily invites to a distant expedition. The workshop on Zhdanovskaya embankment, where this eccentric is located, is in the very depths of the dirty yard. However, the hero himself is a talented engineer Mstislav Sergeevich Los. He is young, of strong physique, with thick blond hair, and does not at all look violently insane. His wife died, and he is very difficult to bear his loss.
What kind of miracle is this apparatus?
We will study the summary of Aelita Tolstoy Alexei further. The aircraft is ready and in a few days, namely, on August 18, it will be possible to hit the road. Moreover, the engineer calculated everything and after 10 hours it will be possible to be on a distant red planet. This is a great opportunity for the correspondent to write interesting articles about this unique journey. But he himself does not dare to fly, but offers to pay for travel notes, to which the engineer agrees.
The device itself is a special phenomenon. It looks like an egg with reinforced ribs, made of refractory steel. Inside there is a whole protective system from a special cover using rubber, felt and genuine leather. Everything is thought out here - the mechanism of movement, oxygen reserves, various devices, an apparatus for external observation.
Search for a companion
Of course, alone Los does not want to go to meet the dangers. The worst thing is to rush past Mars and die without food in the vast space. But in the evening, Elk has a partner - a soldier from the street named Gusev. He is married, but he has no children. Almost his whole life passed in the struggle - he went to war and participated in the revolution. But in civilian life he never found a vocation, because he agrees to go to another planet, all the more so since there was an intrigue: for several years, radio stations around the world have been receiving strange signals from space. The engineer has no doubt that they are sent from Mars, which means there is life there.
The Moose spends the last night on Earth, remembering his wife, and really hopes that he will not be so bitter on a strange planet. And at this time, the wife of Alexei Gusev suffers, realizing that he will not force the restless husband to stay with any persuasion.
Flight
Travelers leave their home planet under a large influx of people. Soon they lose consciousness from overloads, and comes to their senses, finding themselves in outer space.
And now they have already achieved their goal, finding themselves on the plain of orange-orange shades. They are surrounded by living plants, similar to cacti, the air on the planet is the land of the earth. Soon, the first contact with the Martian took place, but he scolded the aliens for breaking plants, but left them food and left on a flying machine.
Aelita's Appearance
Looking around, earthlings noticed the blown up houses. In one of them, they discovered singing books and a screen with a picture of the city, but soon it went out - there was a closure.
On the second day, residents on flying ships came to them and took with them, and they left the guard at the flying "egg". Everyone arrived in the capital - Soazere. They settled them on the estate, the mistress of which is Aelita. She teaches guests to speak Martian using a foggy ball that has the power to reflect the past.
What are these inhabitants?
Mstislav Sergeevich believes that it is necessary to learn as much information about the inhabitants as possible, to know their wisdom and to take all this knowledge to Earth. Gusev also wants to get a "document" confirming that this planet was annexed to the country of the Soviets.
A week goes by. Earthlings are already fluent in Martian language. The girl tells the story of the planet.
Aols used to live here. But once the Atlanteans descended from heaven, who subjugated the Martians. The tribes did not endure bullying and went into the mountains, having built the Holy Threshold. Evil was buried there, the Martians cleansed of filth. The Atlantean rebellion was crushed, but they were afraid to approach the Holy Threshold. Once a beautiful atlas appeared at the Threshold with a request to give the daughters of the Aols as a wife. From here comes the blue hill tribe.
Gusev does not lose time in vain. An affair begins with the maid Ihoy, who informs him that Tuskub, the father of Aelita, is the ruler of the planet. The girl using the screen demonstrates to Alexei how people live, how they inhale narcotic smoke en masse. And then the government meeting opens on the screen, where we are talking about the murder of earthlings.
Unrest begins in the capital, a confrontation arises between Tuskub and Gore, the leader of the workers. To prevent a coup, the ruler wants to blow up the capital. Gusev decides to help the people and calls for Elk, but he is in love and dreams of staying with Aelita.
Gore is defeated and forced to hide. And Tuskub passes poison to his daughter: she must poison the food of earthlings. The girl is forced to hide her beloved in the mountains, but first brings him to the temple to perform the ritual. They became husband and wife.
Alexei led the uprising, Gore became his assistant. Tuskub escapes through a secret labyrinth, but soon returns with an army and defeats the rebels. Earthlings manage to escape from the trap and get to their flying "egg". Mstislav does not have time to take Aelita with him.
After long wanderings in space, they fall to Earth and immediately become famous. The moose yearns for his beloved, works, and Alex travels the world with travel stories.
Six months pass. Once Gusev calls Los to a radio station so that the engineer listens to strange signals from space. He listens with pain as his beloved calls him through the Universe, asking with bitterness, longing, love and hope - where is he.
The work of Tolstoy "Aelita", the summary of which you read - is unique. It won the hearts of millions of readers.
