Today, the question is very serious about protecting the environment. Thoughtless human activity for centuries destroyed habitat , but the twentieth century was the time of environmental disasters . And writers can not stay away from solving this urgent problem. I would like to highlight two striking names : Valentin Rasputin and Chingiz Aitmatov . They are very talented , thoughtful , unique personality. For many years in his fiction and nonfiction works of these writers ' beat alarm " - trying to draw the attention of society and the powers that be on the ecological situation in the country. If humanity of impending trouble began to write in . press only in the last ten to fifteen years, Aitmatov back in the 70s in his novel "After the fairy tale " (" White Ship " ) spoke about this issue . He showed the disastrous , hopeless way if man destroys nature. She avenges degeneration , lack of spirituality . The same theme continues writer and in his subsequent works : " And the day lasts longer than a century " (" Buran stop "), " scaffold ", " Cassandra's Brand " .
Especially impressive is the novel " scaffold ." On the example of the wolf family , the author showed destruction of wildlife from human activities. And as scary when you see that in comparison with human predators seem more humane and " humanity " than the " crown of creation." So for the sake of any future good person brings their children on the block ?
This question arises when reading the works of Valentin Rasputin " Farewell to the mothers " and " Fire ." This parable , which are designed to stop the pillaging of Russia's wealth . Writer talent shows "fire " burning souls of people employed only gain, dream at any cost to get rich , and there ... But it is impossible to remain " neat " , the person ceases to be a creator , a creator. Initially, he is ruining the environment , leaving the forest of stumps , flooding the ancient villages , cemeteries ancestors , fertile land, and then the internal "fire" burns it . Such different artists , but in tune with their thoughts, the same outcome , which come their heroes.
Man is not the king of nature , as an integral part of it. If you die a link in this chain , the threat hangs over all . When we understand this ? It's time to stop, to stop self-destruction . We must live in harmony with nature . Then peace will come , and in every soul. I believe in it .
