Have I.A. Krylova fable "Swan, pike and cancer." Morality will not be considered. Recall the modern bike. A man bought a new sofa and is trying to bring it into the apartment. Stuck sofa - neither forward nor backward. I asked a site neighbor to help. He willingly took it. Now drag together. They try, rest, puff, sweat pouring hail - and the sofa as it stood, it still stands. Finally, the owner of the sofa says: “That's it. Enough. I feel that we will never bring him into the apartment. ” The assistant’s amazed question: “So we bring it in ?!” The fable “Swan, pike and crab” remained quite topical. Morality in the 21st century is as relevant as in the 19th century.
One of the most famous fables
More than two hundred fables were written by an ironic writer. In any moment of being and being, he knew how to see stupidity and make fun of it. If you ask any passerby on the street, what fables are I.A. Krylov, he remembers, then without hesitation he will name a few. And also recalls that there is still a fable "Swan, pike and cancer." Morality, if we ask, will quickly lead out.
This is a Russian classic, a golden fund. Well, in our time, this was Faina Ranevskaya, who aphoristically and aptly, in one phrase, was able to put on display someone’s swagger, etc. So was
Leonid Filatov, who passed away early
. And how many aphorisms and epigrams were written by
Valentin Gaft! People who know how to look at events from a different angle are not being translated on Russian soil.
How did the genius fabulist begin to write?
I did not immediately find a genre in which he would have no equal, I.A. Krylov. At first he wrote opera libretto, tragedy, comedy - plays. In one of the comedies, he made the main character (under a different name, of course, but it was clear to his contemporaries) the famous writer Ya.B. Princess. In the comedy, the main character is shown with irony. This lively and funny caricature forever quarreled the author with a playwright. Krylov had an unsuccessful attempt to publish a satirical magazine, and he continued to write plays, essays, pamphlets. Without realizing, apparently, he was gaining literary experience.
Fables
At 36, Krylov in Moscow showed fabulist I.I. Dmitriev translations of fables of Lafontaine. There were only two of them, but Ivan Ivanovich supported Krylov’s interest in this genre, saying that he had finally found his direction. Ivan Andreevich was an excellent connoisseur of the Russian language. In addition, he was prone to ridicule and pessimism and allegorical retelling of ancient stories. Nature created him for writing fables, and he, having published three witty works in 1906, again wrote satirical plays and set to work on comedy in poetry. Finally, in 1808, he submitted seventeen original fables to print. The next year he publishes a volume of twenty-three fables. He received well-deserved success with his contemporaries, who will continue to accompany him through life. Despite criticism of N.A. Zhukovsky, the reading public recognized Krylov's original talent that distinguishes him from other literary figures.
His works were not random sketches of inspiration. He carefully worked on every fable, deeply pondering every word and detail. He strove for maximum brevity and aphorism, carefully preserving accurate Russian words. He performed the moral teachings at the end of the fable so carefully that they quickly entered proverbs.
Political overtones
In 1814, the fable "Swan, Pike and Crab" was written, the moral of which was deduced in the first three-poem. It was dedicated to the fact that the Russian public was annoyed by the actions of the allies of Alexander I after the end of the war of 12 years. The fable was written on the eve of the Congress of Vienna, which took place very slowly, almost nine months later, in dance and amusement, defining other borders of European states. There is another option. It shows the disagreements of the Council of State.
As a sharp, actual satire on the state, this short composition by contemporaries of a fabulist was perceived. Today, the fable Swan, Pike, and Cancer is not read quite politically. Morality, as a rule, lies at the household level. But it can always be read as sharp and politically topical.
Krylov's fable "Swan, pike and cancer"
This work was published in 1816 in the collection "New Fables." It has only twelve lines. Three characters act - a bird, an arthropod and a fish. They need to carry a cart with a small load. He is not heavy. Everything should go quickly and well. Each in his own way tries his best. And the cart from the spot. The trouble is that the Swan soars into the sky. But in a different way he cannot. Cancer moves as it should be, - back. The third comrade, Pike, of course, goes to the water. What is the moral of the fable "Swan, Cancer and Pike?" The author is not looking for the blame. He bluntly says that it is not for us to judge them.
And because the cart was standing in one place, it is worth it, because the common cause must be done in a coordinated manner, according to a single plan. And we need the main one, the one whom everyone will obey. And if everyone will do something at their own discretion, then nothing will work. How did this happen with the three little miserables. Such is the vital and simple moral of Krylov’s fable “Swan, Cancer and Pike.”
