"Wild landowner" (summary)

The works of Saltykov-Shchedrin are focused on a thinking, intellectual readership. Humor and subtle irony gradually turn into cruel sarcasm, and the huge amount of literary artistic means used by him can contribute to the expansion of the outlook and lexical baggage of a modern teenager.

Important is the fact that Shchedrin's fairy tales are based on Russian traditions and customs that familiarize us with the way of life of our ancestors. Topical topics were raised by the author in his tales and stories. Sometimes for sarcasm you could guess the writer's dissatisfaction with the public order and the government as a whole. He, as a true artist, was able to emphasize problems of a global scale.

"Wild landowner": a brief tale of a satirical tale

This is one of the deepest works of Saltykov-Shchedrin.

If you are limited in time, then to learn the story to the end, we advise you to read the "Wild landlord" - a summary. This instructive story is a wonderful reading for both an adult and a child. A subtle thread of irony, turning into sheer sarcasm, can be traced throughout the fairy tale. So, a short summary of "Wild landowner".

In the fairy tale the author tells about the landlord, who was sufficiently provided for everything except the mind. And, as often happens, a stupid person is drawn to "feats."

He lived a life of clover, he did not grieve, but he did not have peace of mind from Russian peasants and peasants, and he complained to his Lord that he was not a fan of peasant spirit. God, however, knew that the landowner did not have a clear mind and left his entreaties without execution. Then the furious landowner decided to survive all the men from the estate, complicating their life by extreme measures. The life of the peasants was unbearable: neither breathing nor stepping could not be without demand and knowledge, and for the slightest offense there followed a cruel punishment. And the peasants returned their prayers to the Lord, seeking help at a difficult hour for them. God pardoned the peasants and through the air carried the whole "chaff spirit" away from the possessions of the harsh landowner. And the man of grace and pure air rejoiced, and peace and solitude.

The landowner decided to pamper himself with the theater. But nothing good came of it - only he was called a "fool", because without the peasants there was no one to deal with the arrangement of the scenery and the raising of the curtain.

Then the hero decided to invite guests to play cards with him. He sent an invitation to all the eminent generals who responded with joy, but when they found out that they were not going to give anything away from the carrots and candies, the terribly angry ones left, calling our landowner a fool. Our landlord became thoughtful, after all, it was not for nothing that he was called that way.

But thought away ... and then the proud landowner lives, rejoices in the fresh air, eats gingerbread, does not wash, does not shave. He is all in dreams - he thinks about buying cars that can replace human hands. As Saltykov-Shchedrin describes in the fairy tale "The Wild Landowner", this character has become drowsy to such a state that his dedication to ministers for persevering inflexibility and perseverance seemed to him. However, a black day arrived - the police chief came to check his life, and he also called the stupid landowner a fool.

And the landlord realized that not only his stubbornness was injurious to himself, but the whole state. The landowner was frightened and very wild: he buried himself from the light, hunted, and befriended the bear.

Meanwhile, the authorities are concerned about the state of things. And it was decided to return the peasants back and make a reproach to the landlord for his utter stupidity and stubbornness. In the end, the situation was corrected, the affairs of the state returned to normal, and the landlord reconciled with the presence of "chaff spirit."

Here are just some of the facts from the history of "Wild landlord". The brief content of the instructive tale, of course, also allows us to understand the deep meaning embedded in it, and the importance of peasants (and generally ordinary people) in the life of the country.
