Unusual incident Mayakovsky. Analysis of Mayakovsky's poem: an extraordinary adventure

Mayakovsky is a writer who wrote many wonderful works, many of them were written in the post-revolutionary period. They contain special fighting notes, notes of calling for the important role of the poet and his work. Just the theme of poetry and the poet is well revealed in the poem Makovsky’s Unusual Adventure at the Dacha, which we have to do.

Mayakovsky wrote this unusual adventure in 1920. Working on the analysis of the writer’s poem, I would like to say that his work is somewhat similar to a fairy tale, to some kind of fantastic work, where the sun plays the role of one of the heroes. Its author puts on an inspired face.

Summer at the Mayakovsky dacha

The action takes place in the summer at the dacha. At the beginning of his work, the author, having found beautiful words, describes a sultry day in July. The hero often watched the sun, and then one fine day he realized how idle, aimless, easy life is for the sun, which day after day rises and sets and does nothing else. Mayakovsky began to get angry at such a life of the sun, and, unable to bear it, turned to him with an angry tirade, calling the sun a parasite, a pampered creature. The hero invites the luminary to his place for tea. After his daring words, the hero was frightened, because the sun had indeed gone down and headed towards the house, demanding tea and jam.

The characters spend the entire evening talking, talking about how difficult their lives are. At the same time, the writer began to understand how difficult it is for the sun, which has no choice and has to get up every day and illuminate the earth, warm it, while he can always change his profession. The author realized how selfless the work of the sunshine is and it is such work that changes the world, such return can make life better and brighter.

In his work, the author touches on the theme of two suns - the sun of poetry and the sun of light, developing this theme to the end. Concluding his poem, the author recalls the double-barreled shotgun of the sun, where sunlight will pour from one trunk, and poetry from the other. And so, acting together, the heroes will replace each other and fulfill their calling. The poet will shed light with his poems, and the sun will illuminate the earth with its light. They will shine always and everywhere, and no nails. It is under this slogan that the heroes of Mayakovsky’s work An Extraordinary Adventure lived and will live, on which we are making an analysis. On such inviting notes, with such optimistic lines, Mayakovsky ends his adventure in the summer at the dacha.

Summing up in my work, and working on the analysis of the work An Extraordinary Adventure, I would like to note how important the work of each person is, how important it is to follow your calling and fulfill your mission with great dedication. At the same time, it doesn’t matter whether you are a writer or a hard worker from a village, it is important that we do our work in good faith, otherwise, the meaning of our existence will be lost.

“An extraordinary adventure that happened with Vladimir Mayakovsky in the summer at the dacha”

The rather long title of the poem, also equipped with a detailed subtitle that clearly specifies the location of the action, aims at a detailed story about the events that actually happened.

The poem opens with a dacha landscape, which is as unusual as the poet’s adventure stated in the title.

It opens with the expressive hyperbole “The sunset burned in a hundred and forty suns,” emphasizing the strength of the summer heat and at the same time setting the dynamics for the entire subsequent action of the work:

And tomorrow
again
flood the world
The sun rose brightly.
And day after day
make me terribly angry
me
this is it
became.

This is how an imaginary conflict is outlined in the work. Next, the cocky lyrical hero throws a desperate challenge to the heavenly body:

I shouted point blank to the sun:
“Get off!
Enough of hanging around in hell!”

The hero's remarks contain many colloquial and colloquial phrases. This gives his speech a familiar character. Having initially dared to communicate with the sun, a person seems to boast of his fearlessness. Then the sun finally responded to the challenge, the hero’s mood changes:

The devil took away my insolence
yell at him -
confused,
I sat down on the corner of the bench,
I'm afraid it couldn't have turned out worse!

The poem (as well as the lyrics of V.V. Mayakovsky in general) has an extremely strong dramatic element. The fantastic action unfolds like an ordinary table scene: before us are two close comrades conducting an everyday conversation over a samovar. They (the poet and the sun) complain to each other about everyday problems and eventually agree to join forces in a common cause:

You and me
There are two of us, comrade!
Let's go, poet,
we look,
let's sing
the world is in gray trash.
I will pour my sunshine,
and you are yours,
in poetry.

At the same time, the “golden-faced sun” finally acquires a human image: it not only carries on a leisurely conversation, but you can even pat it on the shoulder.

At the end of the poem, the abstract image of a common enemy is destroyed:

Wall of shadows
nights in prison
fell under the sun with a double-barreled shotgun.

The work ends with an optimistic picture of the triumph of poetry and light, all that is most beautiful on earth.

Poetic metaphors help V.V. Mayakovsky combined fantastic and realistic plans for the artistic reflection of reality:

To me
of my own free will,
itself,
I will spread out in ray-steps,
The sun walks in the field.

The lyrical hero perceives the heavenly body as some kind of real being - the poet’s assistant. Both of them do one common thing - they bring light to the world.

V.V. Mayakovsky strove to be consistent in his views on art. This poem by the poet echoes the problematics of a number of his other works devoted to the theme of the poet and poetry.

The poem “An extraordinary adventure that happened to Vladimir Mayakovsky in the summer at the dacha” was written in 1920. Its theme is the role of the poet in public life, the educational value of poetry. The lyrical hero is a working poet who works a lot and gets very tired. He is annoyed by the seemingly idle life of the sun, and he invites the luminary for a conversation, for tea. The plot of the poem is a fantastic event, a meeting and conversation between the poet and the sun. The poet and the sun quickly find a common language and come to the conclusion that both will do their job well:

I will pour my sunshine,

And you are yours,

in poetry.

Like the captain, who is the soul and heart of the ship, so the poet, in Mayakovsky’s understanding, performs a great and responsible task: he controls the hearts and minds of people on one big ship called a country: “Hearts are the same engines. The soul is the same cunning engine,” the poet asserted. This is how the theme of two suns arises in the poem “An Extraordinary Adventure...” - the sun of light and the sun of poetry, which gradually develops and finds a very accurate and apt embodiment in the poetic image of a “double-barreled gun of suns”, from one trunk of which sheaves of light burst out, and from the other - the light of poetry. Before the power of this weapon, the “wall of shadows, the prison of nights” falls prostrate. The poet and the sun act together, replacing each other. The poet reports that when the Sun “gets tired” and wants to “lie down”, then “it will dawn at full strength - and the day will ring again.”

The sun in the poem is a metaphorical image of the poet (“There are two of us, comrade”). The poet calls to “Shine always, shine everywhere...”, seeing this as the main purpose of the poet. Mayakovsky widely uses the technique of personification and grotesque (“the sun walks in the field”, “wants to lie down at night”, “stupid dreamer”).

To the question: Tell me a poem by Mayakovsky, where he drinks tea with the sun. given by the author sleepy the best answer is an EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURE THAT WAS SVLADIMIR MAYAKOVSKY’S SUMMER AT THE DACHA (Pushkino. Akulova Mountain, Rumyantsev’s dacha, 27 versts along the Yaroslavl railway.) At one hundred and forty suns, the sunset was blazing, in July summer was rolling, there was heat, the heat was floating - at the dacha there was this. The hillock of Pushkino humped Shark Mountain, and the bottom of the mountain was a village, the roof was crooked with bark. And behind the village there was a hole, and into that hole, the sun probably descended every time, slowly and surely. And tomorrow the sun rose red to flood the world again. And the day after during the day it became terribly annoying to me. And one day, so angry that everything faded in fear, I shouted point-blank to the sun: “Get off! Enough of hanging around in the heat!” I shouted to the sun: “You parasite! no years, sit, draw posters! “I shouted to the sun: “Wait! Listen, golden-eyed, why come to me for tea like that?” What have I done! I’m dead! To me, of my own free will, spreading his ray-steps, the sun walks into the field. I want not to show my fear - and I retreat backwards. His eyes are already in the garden. Already passing through the garden. Entering the windows, the doors, the cracks, a mass of sun fell, fell in; having caught his breath, he spoke in a deep voice : “I’m driving the fire back for the first time since creation. Did you call me? Drive the tea, drive it, poet, jam! “There was a tear in my eye - the heat was driving me crazy, but I told him to take the samovar: “Well, sit down, it’s shining!” “The devil took my audacity to yell at him, - embarrassed, I sat down on the corner of the bench, I’m afraid it couldn’t have turned out worse! But a strange thing streamed out of the sun, - and forgetting my sedateness, I sat, talking with the luminary gradually. , and the sun: “Okay, don’t worry, look at things simply! And for me, you think, it’s easy to shine.” - Go, try! - But you’re walking - you decided to go, you’re walking - and you’re shining bright lights! “We chatted like this until it got dark—until the previous night, that is. What kind of darkness is there already? We’re on a first-name basis with him, having completely gotten used to it. And soon, without fading friendship, I hit him on the shoulder. And the sun too: “You and me, there are two of us, comrade! Let's go, poet, let's look and sing to the world in the gray trash. I will pour out my sun, and you - yours, in poetry." The wall of shadows, nights, a prison under the suns with a double-barreled shotgun fell. Poems and light, a mess of everything! Get tired then the stupid dreamer wants to lie down at night. Suddenly - with all the light I can - and the day is ringing again. Always shine, shine everywhere, until the last days of the bottom, shine - and no nails! This is the slogan of my sun!

During the lesson, students will get acquainted with the biography of Vladimir Mayakovsky, the originality of his poetry using the example of the poem “An extraordinary adventure that happened to Vladimir Mayakovsky in the summer at the dacha.” Analysis of the poem will help to understand the author and his civic and creative position.

After the death of his father, the family moved to Moscow. The future poet was engaged in revolutionary activities, worked as a propagandist, and was arrested three times. In 1910, Mayakovsky was released from Butyrka prison, where he spent eleven months. It is here that he writes his poetry. It can be said that Mayakovsky's release from prison was a symbolic entrance into art.

In 1911 he entered the Moscow School of Painting, Architecture and Sculpture. The social situation in Russia presented Mayakovsky with a choice - old life and old art or new life and new art. “I want to make new socialist art,” this is how the poet defined the goal of his life. Within the walls of the school, the future poet had a largely fateful acquaintance with the organizer of the Gileya group, D.D. Burliuk, who became one of the founders of futurism. It is in the almanac of this group - "A slap in the face to public taste"— Mayakovsky’s literary debut took place in December 1912.

In 1913, the poet published his first collection of poems entitled “I”, wrote the tragedy “Vladimir Mayakovsky” (he himself acted as the director of the production and the leading actor). As part of a group of futurists Mayakovsky travels around the cities and towns of Russia. Public speaking became the reason for his expulsion from the school.

The October Revolution of 1917 was greeted by Mayakovsky with joy and enthusiasm. The poet supports the young state with the artistic means available to him.

Since 1919, he has worked for three years at Windows of ROSTA, producing propaganda and satirical posters with poetic lines. In total, during this period he was the author of about 1,100 such “windows” (Fig. 2).

Rice. 2. Poster created by Mayakovsky in 1920 ()

Mayakovsky called ROSTA Windows a fantastic thing. Posters by “Windows...” artists were displayed in the windows of central stores in Moscow, on Kuznetsky Most, and some were even sent to other cities.

In the summer of 1920, Mayakovsky lived at a dacha in Pushkino (near Moscow), worked at ROSTA and traveled into the city every day. That's when it was written poem “An extraordinary adventure that happened to Vladimir Mayakovsky in the summer at the dacha.”

Everything about this poem is unusual: a plot that combines reality and fantasy, a special rhythm, a combination of simple and even colloquial words with the author’s neologisms.

Title of the poem

The poet deliberately chooses a long, cumbersome title for his poem: “An extraordinary adventure that happened to Vladimir Mayakovsky in the summer at the dacha.” Moreover, he adds a subtitle: “Pushkino, Akulova Gora, Rumyantsev’s dacha, 27 versts along the Yaroslavl railway. dor." Thus, the title and subtitle contrast with each other: the unusual with the ordinary, the fantastic with the real.

Poem composition

1. Exposition. "Everyday work of a poet"
2. Commencement and development of action. “The poet’s quarrel with the sun. Invitation to "tea"
3. Climax. "Procession of the sun. Conversation between the poet and the luminary"
4. Denouement. "The poet's poetic credo"

Theme, idea, problems of the poem

The poem, according to the famous actor Vladimir Yakhontov, stuns “with the audacity of the plot and the beauty of thought: the poet and the sun are two friends. One shines, the other sings.” All of it is illuminated with a joyful, sincere smile. A cascade of varied, sometimes unexpected rhymes, and a subtle rhythmic pattern enhance the impression of liveliness, fabulousness, and entertainingness of the narrative.

Exhausted by the summer heat and exhausting work, the poet-artist envied the sun because it did not shine at night, that is, it did not work, but rested (Fig. 3).

Rice. 3. Illustration ()

And so one day I got angry,

that everything faded in fear,

I shouted point blank to the sun:

Enough of hanging around in hell!”

I shouted to the sun:

“Damot!

you are covered in the clouds,

and here - you don’t know either winters or years,

sit down and draw posters!

The sun comes to visit the poet and in their conversation it turns out that both have a lot in common. The task of the sun, like the poet, is to illuminate this gray world, to fill it with colors, life, and meaning. Both realize the importance of their work. And despite the complexity of the task, the author proclaims them the general slogan that became the main idea of ​​the poem:

Always shine

shine everywhere

until the last days of the Donetsk,

shine -

and no nails!

This is my slogan -

and sun!

Thus, Mayakovsky expressed his attitude towards poetic work in the poem, choosing an unusual, metaphorical manner to tell the reader what real poetry should be.

Means of artistic expression and stylistic devices

Metaphor- one of the main artistic tropes used by the poet. His metaphors are unusual and original.

For example:

1. Pushkino hill humped

Shark Mountain,

and the bottom of the mountain -

was a village

the roof was crooked with bark .

2. Having spread out the ray-steps,

The sun walks in the field.

Such metaphors are called extended. Unlike a simple metaphor, such a metaphor contains a figurative similarity to a certain life phenomenon and is revealed throughout the segment or the entire poem .

Hyperbola(artistic exaggeration). Its use helps the author to endow the hero of the poem with the temperament and emotionality of a creative personality. For example, unbearable heat is conveyed in the following hyperbole: “the sunset burned with a hundred thousand suns.” The character of the hero of the poem, the tendency to exaggerate everything, to perceive and experience things more acutely than ordinary people, is heard in the remark: “What have I done! I'm dead!

Pun(play on words)

For example:

idle come in,

for tea it's gone would!

(Come in - hide, hide, fall into a hole; would go - invitation to visit).

Stylistic vocabulary

In the dialogues between the hero and the sun, the author deliberately uses colloquial, colloquial vocabulary. This makes the conversation relaxed and very natural. At the beginning, when the hero is angry, his speech is rude and harsh. The poet calls the sun parasite, claims that it hanging around idle. The sun is also not inferior: “- Drive tea, drive, poet, jam! The hero exclaims in annoyance in response: “- The devil pulled my audacity to yell at him" And soon the conversation turns into a friendly conversation:

don't worry

simple things!

And to me, do you think

- Go try it!

In addition to colloquial vocabulary, Mayakovsky, as a representative of futurism, experiments with words, creating his own neologisms.

For example:

"Hill of Pushkino" hunched over» ( hunched over- derived from hunched over).

“Wait! listen, golden forehead» ( golden forehead formed by analogy with golden-haired).

"But the strange one from the sun being flowed" ( being- i.e. light derived from clear)

"Let's go, poet, let's look, let's sing"(derived from look, sing)

“And wants to lie down at night, stupid dream book» ( dream book- derived from insomnia).

Poetic form

While reading the poem, you probably noticed that it consists of lines of unequal numbers of syllables. This technique is called ladder. It was invented by Mayakovsky. The poet breaks the line and continues writing with a new one.

Compare:

Mayakovsky named the main reasons for using the new poetic form in his book “How to Make Poems” (1926) (Fig. 4). This is, first of all, a clearer design of the rhythm of the verse, since, according to Mayakovsky, traditional punctuation marks are not sufficiently adapted for this.

The article was written by Mayakovsky in 1926. In it he expresses his view of art.

For poetic work you need:

1. The presence of a task in society (social order)

2. Target setting

3. Material. Words. Constant replenishment of storage facilities, the sheds of your skull, with necessary, expressive, rare, invented, updated, produced and all sorts of other words.

Mayakovsky gives an example of how he replenishes his repositories with new words and images. The poet has a notebook with him in which he writes down interesting words. He recalls one incident: “In 1913, returning from Saratov to Moscow, in order to prove to some carriage companion my complete loyalty, I told her that I was “not a man, but cloud in pants" Having said this, I immediately realized that this could be useful for a poem, but what if it gets circulated by word of mouth and is wasted in vain? Terribly worried, I interrogated the girl with leading questions for half an hour and calmed down only after making sure that my words had already flown out of her next ear. Two years later "cloud in pants" I needed it for the title of a whole poem.”

Another important point in the process of creating a poem, Mayakovsky called the skills and techniques of word processing: rhymes, meters, alliteration, images, style reduction, pathos, ending, title, outline, etc. In the article, the poet shares how he worked with the word in the process of creating the poem “Sergei Yesenin”:

“Without any comments, I will give a gradual processing of words in one line:

1. our days are poorly equipped for fun;

2. our days are joyfully poorly equipped;

3. our days are poorly equipped for happiness;

4. our life is poorly equipped for fun;

5. our life for joy is poorly equipped;

6. our life is poorly equipped for happiness;

7. Our planet is poorly equipped for fun;

8. Our planet is poorly equipped for fun;

9. Our planet is not particularly equipped for fun;

10. Our planet is not particularly equipped for fun;

11. Our little planet is not very equipped for pleasure;

and finally, the last, 12th -

12. Our planet is poorly equipped for fun.

I could make a whole defensive speech in favor of the last of the lines, but for now I will be content with simply copying these lines from the draft to demonstrate how much work it takes to produce a few words.
