czech belomoboy short summary
Quite childishly named this extra-genre storyabout the she-wolf and the puppy, written by the "engineer of human souls" Chekhov, - "White-throated". The summary of it is completely uncomplicated: the unsuccessful hunting of an aged wolf, the luck of a stupid puppy. Wrote it already a venerable, experienced writer. It was not his first attempt at writing: Anton Pavlovich created the story at the age of 35.

It's all about loving nature, passing throughthe life of a writer. And in relation to children. He, he, who had tuberculosis, could not have his own. And he was building peasants 'and peasants' schools, for his money. "Belokologo" Chekhov wrote in his estate Melikhovo.

The farmstead of Melikhovo. Corner, inspired the idea of ​​the "White-throated"

Chekhov's story "White-throated" was written in 1895year. The place of writing is a museum-preserve, and earlier - a writer's estate. It is located in the village of Melikhovo near the city of Chekhov in the Moscow region. Melikhovsky period of creativity was the period of maturity of the writer and the happiest time of his short life. The way of life of Anton Pavlovich in the estate presupposed a stay in nature, communication with friends. The writer's favorites were two taxes: Hina and Brom. From the memoirs it is known that the Chekhovs were much and willingly engaged in gardening, and everything grew and fruited from them, no matter what they planted. The real passion of the writer was the rose bushes. Until now, the staff of the museum takes care of the "Alley of Love" and the garden "Corner of France".

The plot of "White-throated"

the story of the white-haired Chekhov
Why did Chekhov call his story "White-throated"?The summary shows: a more worthy character is a wolf. At least her intellect is present, thinking. However, the puppy is the puppy. He was very foolish.

On a cold March night, the wolf went toa hunt for a human winter cabin, located four versts from its burrow. In her lair were three cubs, who were as hungry as she. She was already in the years, the bloom of power had long since passed, so she had to be content with small prey. She was walking toward the winter. There the elderly watchman Ignat guarded the shed, where next to the other cattle were two sheep, possibly with lambs. One of them can pull her away.

In detail we are told by her thoughts Chekhov."White-throated" (brief content in particular), as it were, acquaints us with its logic of thinking, with worries and fears. She needs to feed the cubs, and she herself is hungry. She is suspicious, her thoughts are confused. (As you can see, Anton Pavlovich in her description is generous with metaphors, giving the beast human traits.) We have to be careful, the watchman has a big black dog named Arapka.

The wolf climbed into the barn, jumping from the snowdrift onto thethatched roof and crawling through it. There was a noise in the barn, someone barked, the sheep clung to the wall. She had to flee urgently, fearing the watchman with Arapka, grabbing the nearest lamb into the teeth.

Only after running so far away that the barking ceased to beshe could hear, she noticed that a lump in her teeth was clearly heavier than a lamb. It was a large black puppy with a white spot on his forehead. Natural disgust did not allow her to eat this baby. She left him and ran to nothing with a hole.

Chekhov White-fronted main idea
But the foolish woman ran after her.He went to the she-wolf for a long time and played with the cubs. Somehow after one of these games, she again decided to eat it. But the stupid creature licked her nose, he smelled disgustingly with the dog, and the she-wolf finally changed her mind.

The fans of classical creativity even existversion, why such a suit chose a puppy Chekhov - white-throated. Its summary is in the writer's hobby: taxes. Brom was black, Hina - red, but Saltra, which appeared later, had bright spots.

Let's return to the plot.Since he was not fed, like a cub, BelaBoy, having played enough, went independently to the winter quarters. I went there and a she-wolf. Repeat hunting. But the stupid puppy following her, returning home, joyfully raised a barking, and the she-wolf again had to get away with nothing. Ignat, believing that the hole in the roof did Beloloby, and all the noise-din because of him, in the morning he asked him a bashing.

Conclusion

The story "White-throated" teaches children to understand nature,love her. The author, ironically, hopes that they will grow smarter and thinner than watchman Ignat, who talks with "technical categories": "full before" or "the spring in the brain burst".

A lot of attention was paid by Anton Pavlovich to peasantchildren. In the vicinity of Melikhovo, three schools were built for its funds. It was for children that Chekhov wrote "White-throated". The main idea of ​​this work, first published by the magazine "Children's Reading": people should be more attentive to animals, try to understand their needs, then their spiritual world will become deeper. The surrounding nature is subtle, it needs to be understood, and not treated mechanically, simplistically.
