Prishvin's stories: a person needs nature

"Pure poetry" - so you can name the stories of Prishvin. Every word written by him is a hint of something you will not see with a superficial glance. Prishvin should not just read, they need to enjoy, try to catch the subtle meaning of seeming simple phrases. Edification? Here they do not need anything, the author understands this perfectly. Particular attention to every detail - that's what really matters, that's what Prishvin's stories teach.

The nature of the native land occupies the first place in the writer's work. The heroes of the stories are not only people, but animals and birds. All this is the beauty of life. Incredible kindness and cordiality characterize each work of Mikhail Mikhailovich. The secret of such success lies in the connection of creativity with one's own observations and impressions.

A subtle understanding and inseparable connection between nature and the homeland permeate all the stories of Prishvin. "Fish is water, bird is air, beast is forest, steppes, mountains. A person needs a homeland. And to protect nature means to protect the homeland "- we read and understand how relevant his thoughts today! Amazing harmony and love of the Earth is noted in Prishvin and Maxim Gorky. The classic writes: "... the world is astonishingly rich and wide, you know ...".

Prishvin's stories about nature, including such perpetual works as "Golden Meadow", "Our Garden", "The Sip of Milk", "The Dry Tree", "The First Song of Water" and many others since childhood with us. They teach what the schoolteachers will not teach - to appreciate and cherish everything that the sky has given us. A true naturalist was Prishvin. The unsurpassed knowledge of forests and marshes, the ability to catch each of their movements - all this was in his power. Add to this a masterly possession of the pen - what else does a true master of the word need? Reading his books, we hear the sound of the wind and the rustle of the leaves, smell the scent of the forest and observe the behavior of forest dwellers. And how can it be otherwise, if instead of the usual word "plants" we find in it a bloody berry bones, white mushrooms, blueberry and red cowberry, cabbage and cuckoo tears?

Prishvin's stories about animals deserve special attention. It seems that the whole flora and fauna of the central strip of Russia is enclosed in them! Only two works - "Guests" and "Lisichkin bread", and so many names: crow, wagtail, crane, heron, shrew, fox, adder, bumblebee, oatmeal, goose ... But this is not enough for the writer, every inhabitant of the forest and swamps Has its own special character, its habits and habits, voice and even gait. Animals appear before us as clever and intelligent creatures ("Blue Lapot", "Inventor"), they can not only think, but also speak ("The Chicken on the Pillars", "The Terrible Encounter"). Interestingly, this applies not only to animals, but also to plants: the whisper of the forest is barely noticeable in the story "Whisper in the Forest", in the "Golden Meadow" dandelions fall asleep in the evenings and wake up early in the morning, and the mushroom makes its way from under the foliage In the "Stronghold".

Often the stories of Prishvin tell us how indifferent people are to all the beauty that is near them. The purer and richer the person is, the more mysteries of nature he is exposed to, the more he can see in it. So why do we forget about this simple wisdom today? And when do we realize this? Will not it be too late? Who knows…
