The summary of Chelkash, Maxim Gorky

The summary of the Tchelkache story, which you will read further on, will not be able to convey in detail the whole glow of the feelings and emotions of two very dissimilar people whom fate brought for a short time in the port and forced to pass side by side.

The narrative begins with a vivid description of the noisy southern port, full of peculiar grandeur, but those who created this "hymn to Mercury" are pitiful and insignificant. Fussy and dusty, like ants, they were captured by their own Child.

In this port among ragamuffin, predatory, like a steppe hawk, a drunkard and a deft thief, Grishka Tchelkache, stands out. He is looking for his partner Mishka, with whom he steals. But it turns out that he crushed his leg, and he was taken to the hospital.

Leaving the port, the thief reflects on his "business", which is further described in the story "Chelkash" Gorky. Brief content will immediately go to his meeting with the village guy Gavrila.

Chelkash offered a heavily needy guy a night job. And, looking at him, he pierced Gavril with complex feelings, in which something "paternal and economic" merged.

Only in the boat, in the night sea, which can not describe the short content, Tchelkache shows his agility and love for this unbridled element. Here he is like at home. And Gavrila admits that he is afraid of the sea, besides, he guesses at last about the purpose of their journey, and this causes real panic in him. Chelkash, so that the partner did not run away, takes away his passport, and Gavrila is forced to obey.

The dying guy waits in the boat of the thief while he leaves for the prey, and then, trying not to fall into the beams of the searchlight of the customs cruiser, encouraged by the kick of Tchelkash, obstacles pass.

On the way to the stolen merchants, the thief drags Gavrilo into conversation about rural life, farming and remembers his village family. Experiencing the most contradictory feelings that the brief content can not describe, Chelkash was carried away by reasoning about what freedom is for a peasant. The tramp believed that a piece of land makes a man himself a master. And then he stops because of Gavrila's remark that the truth is true, because Tchelkache broke away from the ground and that's what he became!

Painfully wounded by the words of the peasant, Tchelkache suggests that he get on board the barges where they will take away the stolen goods and, promising that money will be available by morning, fit with him to sleep.

In the morning Gavrila already called Chelkash a gentleman, because he saw that transformed, dressed in worn leather pants and a shirt. And having found out in the hands of the chuckling thief five iridescent pieces of paper, the village peasant loses his head. Having received his share, he overtakes Grishka and, pulling at his feet, he hits the ground. The tramp was expecting a fight, but heard only a whisper, with a plea to give all the money, because Tchelkache is lost, he has no way.

About what kind of fastidious feeling the thief felt to the peasant, he will not tell a short
content. Tchelkache threw the whole pack to Gavril, wondering how you can humiliate yourself for the sake of money. A guy, collecting money, explained that he was going to kill his partner, he will not be searched anyway. This thief could not stand it. Taking everything back, he walked away. But a stone thrown by Gavrilo flew into his head from behind him. Tchelkache fell. A woke up from the fact that he was frightened by a frightened man and asked for forgiveness.

Once again giving Gavril money, Chelkash this time left in his side, and begging the peasant, having crossed himself, in his.

The drama between two people, which the brief content can not fully convey, "Chelkash" reveals brightly and unforgettably. And makes you think about what a person is and what he is capable of.
