Olga Maslova Poems biography

She graduated from Yagpa them. Candidate of cultural studies. He works as a teacher of foreign literature in the YAGPU named after Lives in Yaroslavl. Three heroes are men in a situation of crisis, which is sometimes called a middle -aged crisis. Three search logic. When you read the texts of the Norwegian writer Erlend Lou or Frenchman Michel Welbek, there is a feeling of enchantment of the authors with painful manifestations of a person’s mental life.

Frankl implied a crisis of meaning and responsibility and what about Alexei Ivanov? Does he solve the problem of a person differently or goes through a painful search for the heroes of foreign prose? Let's try to answer this question. You must fight this! These words are addressed, of course, to the hero itself, whose behavior may seem like a miracle. And yesterday he killed a moose.

What can you say? As in the work of E. At the same time, Welbek, as if warning reader associations related to psychoanalysis, detects distrust of Freudianism. I am learning to live in it. How my father lived. Perhaps without realizing that. On the one hand, the situation of Doppler and Michel is not private. The problem of Doppler and Michel is directly related to the era of the line of centuries, so they cannot be considered outside of time.

On the other hand, the heroes themselves find the desire to dissociate himself from time, abandon any direction in life. Of course, neither the death of Michel’s father, nor the fall of a doppler from the bicycle cause the heroes of a mental shock, as a result of which a person, as a rule, addresses the question of the meaning of life. The rejection of the world with a doppler and the cynical-state attitude of Michel towards people are accompanied by an internal stress, which can be explained by the gap between the desires and the possibilities of realizing their personality.

What do the heroes see their ideal life? But why, then, the Doppler prefers to most people snow, and Michelle is burdened even by minor ties? A distinctive feature of any person is that he constantly wishes something6. What do the heroes really want? What is their purpose and the meaning of life? Frankl identified three different ways of realizing meaning: through creative activity; through the experience of values; Through suffering through the position that we occupy in relation to fate.

In the case of Doppler and Michel, one can probably talk about an attempt to gain meaning through a change in attitude to life. Each of them does it in their own way. Each of them, like Adam, seeks to find harmony. Loners who reject society by the hero of Welbek after the death of his father, with whom he was not too close, begins to feel his age. Doppler, unlike the lonely Michel, has three children.

But he does not see in them a solution to his problem. Michel’s living space, limited and cramped, like a cell where any human connections are perceived as shackles. In this world, God has not just died, He never existed. Deprived of mystical secrets, a transcendental principle, this world limits the possibilities of a personal search, deprives a person of faith, and at the same time, strength and internal rod.

I don't like what they do. And they themselves do not like them. And in the end, this world destroys the person himself, through the darkness of the quiet despair of those who seek to gain spirituality, to find support in something intangible. The Doppler intuitively turns to nature, trying to return the integrity of the personality, which was split in the process of adaptation to the real world.

There are calls to the bottom, then to the forest that do not save from the feeling of tightness and loneliness, but pushes to a new round of a frenzied search for exit from the system that doomes a person to a mechanical existence. Young Europeans are not satisfied with the state of society, but they do not see the opportunity to change anything from a sense of helplessness, and therefore most often choose the paths that turn into a dead end.

In the West, it is not allowed to smoke in public places and it is almost impossible to buy drugs. About this Welbek is not limited to listing the shortcomings of the consumer society.

The author is trying to penetrate the essence of such a phenomenon as a crisis of Western civilization, a product of which is an unhappy person. Its analysis is hardly accurate, but tangent affects significant topics. Many ideas of Welbek are far from original. The Western man is alienated from himself, from his neighbors, from nature and perceives his life energy as a premises of capital, which should bring him the most possible profit.

Moreover, people still have a need, which is the strongest of human passions. This is the need to merge with another person. The most natural and normal way to overcome remoteness is, according to Welbek, the sexual intimacy, which the hero constantly talks about and thinks about. The central problem of Welbek is alienated sexuality. The hero of Welbek debunks the myth of the gallant frivolity of France.

The experience of the hero himself, whose thoughts are concentrated in sex, shows that his fate is a dead end.A parallel is possible between what Welbek writes about, and Erich Fromm's judgments about the forms of the collapse of love in modern society by the heroes of Welbek master the painful states of dissatisfaction and longing, generated by the contradiction between the desire to overcome the discontinuity and fear of unity with people.

Infanticity entails the weakening of their masculinity in men. Men gradually lose their desire to seduce, serve a woman, take care of her, protect. On the other hand, according to the hero’s observations, women are becoming more and more like men. However, when masculinity is paralyzed, as in the case of the heroes of Welbek, sadism becomes a perverted replacement; In the case of weakening femininity, its transformation into masochism occurs as in the case of Audrey - the wife of Jean Ivan.

Welbek includes an episode describing a visit to Michel and Valerie a sadomasochist club, where people reach an orgiastic state, torturing each other and themselves. Apparently, the hero has in mind the disappearance of warmth and love from the Western world. It turns out that the system is not omnipotent! In relation to Valery, he manifests himself not only as a lover, but as a friend and even as a father.

He begins to live with her interests, to delve into the essence of her activity. In these relations there is no struggle for leadership, tension, but there is pleasure by the process of love and disinterested gratitude of one person to another simply for the fact that he exists so, the problems of the hero of Welbek before meeting Valerie are explained by the lack of experience in his life of deep proximity.

In reality, a completely different problem remains unresolved - how to find the most reliable road from the heart to the soul and where to find strength to pass this road. According to the plot in Welbek’s novel, the hero loses his beloved. But now he is no longer capable of being in an endless search for sexual pleasures with random partners. The writer finds a very accurate word to refer to the situation of dislike - unnatural.

Michelle does not want and - most importantly - does not see the point of undergoing suffering, in which, in theory, you can find a source of new spiritual and spiritual resources. Welbek, with all the depths of vision of the state of Western civilization, does not raise the questions of faith, depriving a person of the possibility of dialogue with God. That is why the loss of Valerie - the only source of Michel’s vitality - is the beginning of the spiritual death of the hero.

The mysterious Norwegian experiences a life mound differently than a Michelle. There is a certain comic alternative to Michel’s experience in his experience, there is another prospect. Unlike the hero of Welbek, who is in the eternal search for a sexual partner and living under the oppression of a constant unsatisfied desire, the Doppler does not experience any complexes on this occasion.

He voluntarily refuses an intimate relationship with his wife, agreeing to proximity solely on her initiative. At the same time, the writer emphasizes the male fullness of the hero, who literally from the first pages declares incredibly large size of his phallus. He vaguely feels some kind of injustice in the world, feels the presence of evil and irreparable events in it.

Unlike Michel, the Doppler, trying to free himself from the sensation of psychological discomfort, does not close in himself. He enters the forest as if in the temple and expects from nature, as if a believer from touching the shrine, purification and enlightenment. Perhaps this is the first step of Doppler on the way to comprehend the divine secrets of the universe.

The hero seeks to find his individual rhythm of life, which coincides with natural cycles, identifies himself with the world of plants and animals. Such a Russo -vibration Robinsonade. But she is not the last word LU. Even in the forest, the Doppler does not remain alone. This experience of social idyll and this religious parallel, of course, are not accidental. This road, according to the hero, will have to lead him to other people.

But the question arises: why does the Doppler rush to the east? What does the author mean when he sends his hero in this direction? The Doppler is looking for another - open - consciousness open to both heaven and earthly affairs. But will this campaign of Doppler be justified? Is this myth outdated - about the mysterious Russian soul addressed to God? And is there a hidden ridicule of the Norwegian writer in this?

He draws to another girl, from my school, but I would still like to live with Nadia.
