In this article, we will provide you with the famous work of Nikolai Dubov, more precisely, its summary. The “Boy by the Sea” is read very easily in the chapters in our presentation.
The story tells that the parents of the boy Sashuk get together with a team of fishermen at sea. From what he sees, it even becomes difficult to breathe. A boy inspects the shore and sees a booth on a lattice high tower, next to it is a pier, from which a thing similar to a rubber long tape rises to the shore on poles.
Cool salting
This tape turns out to be a conveyor - the caught fish is sent along it to the pickling workshop. Part of her ribbon on the pier is hidden in an iron large box where fishermen put fish. Zhora begins to sort the fish, which Sasha also teaches.
Ignat Prikhodko noted the absence of a puppy, which can be found out by reading this summary. “The Boy by the Sea” is an entertaining story, which further describes how Sashuk goes to the sea, followed by Zhorka, telling him that he spent five years in prison for beating the boss-tyrant. The boy hears the word as "self-proud." This chapter has a brief summary. "Boy by the Sea" (for the reader's diary in this article enough information is given) this does not end there.
The night Watch
They became friends. Zhorka said that border guards are looking for violators from a tower on the shore. Waking up at night, Sashuk goes to the tower, where he realizes that the dead Nazis could remain in this place. And it becomes even worse for him because he realizes that he was alone in the middle of the night.
We read further a brief summary. “The Boy by the Sea” is a story in which events unfold as follows: border guards notice a panic that started at the fishing huts due to Sashuk’s absence and pass it on to his mother. The child understands that he will have to drag in the morning.
Astrologer
Father in the morning tattered the boy by the ears, but Sashuk was ashamed because the fishermen laughed at him. They are sitting near the bench, drinking red wine. Zhorka, seeing a child, takes him to a hut, where he gives him a huge glass ball, overgrown with shells and wrapped in a net. Zhorka calls it “the kitchen”, explaining that this is a float from a huge fishing net.
Sashuk, hiding the gift under the trestle bed, goes to the shore, where he sees a strange man in a colored shirt, underpants, a panama hat, glasses with very thick glasses and a beard. Noticing the boy, he begins to talk with him, which you can learn about by reading further on this summary. “The Boy by the Sea” is a story in which human destinies are wonderfully intertwined. It will soon become clear what place this person will take in the life of the child. The boy asks why he wears a beard. The man says that he is an astrologer, but they cannot be without a beard. This man actually turned out to be an astrophysicist who brought his family to rest.
Anusya
We continue to learn the summary. “The Boy by the Sea” is a story that further tells that Anusya, his daughter, comes to the starship, and Sasha’s friend appears. Anusya is completely unlike Nekrasov's throaty, broken girls. She is supposedly from another world, with white skin. Friends start running along the coast. This fun is interrupted by Anusi's mother, forbidding her daughter to communicate with the "dirty boy."
Sashuk from anger and great resentment begins to pull the jellyfish ashore, dreaming of them to impose a "malicious aunt." Anusya soon joins him, who asks her mother not to be offended, because she has a huge number of petty-bourgeois prejudices. The girl manages to stain clothes in the grease spilled around the conveyor.
Orange god
But this does not end our summary. “The Boy by the Sea” (the following information is useful for the reader’s diary) is a story about the interesting fate of one child. As it turned out, Sashuk used to live with his grandmother, who made him pray. She told the child that God punishes everything and sees everything. The grandmother died six months ago, after which the parents took the boy to her.
Sasha’s faith in God is replaced by faith in cars. The boy is confident that cars are living things, living their own secret lives. He has only met trucks so far, but today he has discovered a miracle - a stunning orange Moskvich. This miracle belongs to the same starship. Sashuk, from the fullness of feelings, begins to wipe the wheel cap with his shirt. Anusya does not lag behind him, after which her dress became even dirtier.
Stargazer and his wife catch them doing this. Girl from mother gets scolded. Sashuk is again offended, but he is unable to escape from the orange miracle. Noticing the child’s resentment, the stargazer allows him to ride on a car. His wife is extremely unhappy because she believes that the child may be sick.
Our food
Mother did not get out of bed in the morning. She calls Sashuk, gives him the key from the pantry and asks to make dinner. But the child does not know how to cook at all, and his mother directs him from the bed. Further in the story “A Boy by the Sea” it is said that there is artel fat in the pantry. The child really wants to take a piece, but he forbids himself to even think about it and cuts exactly as much as is necessary for porridge, and cuts himself and Beams only a piece of bread.
Papa Sashuka is puzzled. A paramedic lives in a nearby village, but there is nothing to bring his wife to him. Porridge turned out to be very bitter and cool, but it seems incredibly tasty to a little cook.
Car
Sashuk after lunch helps Zhora wash the boiler, after which he runs to his mother. That is even worse, and the child becomes sad. She releases her son, after which he goes to look at the starship car. Returning to his hut, Sashuk meets dad - he was on the collective farm, but did not get a car.
But a boy by the sea suddenly found an orange car and ran with his father to meet the starship. Mom is laid neatly in the back seat, dad sits in front, after which the car leaves.
Kuhtyl
Mom was taken to the hospital. Instead, Ignat took cooking. Sashuk goes to the starship in the morning and sees that they are leaving. The goodbye boy Anus gives his treasure - the kitchen. She is glad, but her mother takes her gift and throws it aside. There, the kitchen knife hit an iron scraper and crashed. Together with him something broke in the boy’s heart. It becomes incredibly bitter, although the whole resentment of the child is not able to convey this summary.
“The Boy by the Sea” (Dubov) for the reader's diary: Kugut
Sasha gets away from resentment Beams helps. Ignat hosts the hut, and the child asks him to cut off bread and himself. Ignat gives them a small piece of bread and says that feeding the puppy is pampering.
A brigade comes from fishing. Fishermen sort fish. The puppy likes the fuss happening around. He joyfully runs and falls under Ignat's feet. The newfound cook is angry - he kicks Beams with all his strength, and he falls into the water from the pier and drowns. When a puppy is caught, he is already dying. The boy calls the offender "damned kugut."
At dinner, the fishermen note that the new cook made the porridge fresh and tasteless - there is very little fat in it. To which Ignat replies that there are very few left. Zhorka wants to search Ignat's chest, which turns pale, saying that he brought the lard that he has from the house. Ivan Danilovich, the foreman, expels him from the artel.
The fishermen again go to sea. The child is left alone. It is rapidly darkening, stars appear in the sky, but the boy does not notice them - he is sleeping.
This concludes this summary. “A boy by the sea” (in three words, of course, it is impossible to convey all the emotions that one experiences when reading a book) is a story about such a different and often unpredictable life. We hope this article will give you a complete picture of this work.
