Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov (1814-1841)

Epigraphs There is no force in the world more powerful than love. (I. Stravinsky) Love is a priceless gift. This is the only thing we can give and yet you still have it. (L. Tolstoy) Love is stronger than death and fear of death. Only by her, only by love does life hold and move. (I. Turgenev)

Updating of previously studied Addition to known biographical facts Unlike Pushkin, to whom Arina Rodionovna told fairy tales and sang songs from an early age, Lermontov was raised by a German woman, Christiana Roemer, and his tutor was a Frenchman. Later the poet wrote: “What a pity that my mother was German and not Russian: I have not heard folk tales.” Only later, having become acquainted with them, did he find that in Russian folk tales “there is more poetry than in all French poetry.” From its first appearance in print, it entered the reading circle of children, attracting them with its entertaining plot, extraordinary conflicts, nobility of characters, sublime feelings, moral purity and admiration for art.

Explanatory Dictionary Saaz is a plucked string musical instrument, common among the peoples of Transcaucasia, Iran, Turkey and some other countries. Oglan - boy, guy. Ayan-Aga is a noble gentleman. Chaush is a watchman, a delivery boy. Ashik is a balalaika player. Ana is a mother. Khaderiliaz - Saint George.

Book cover

History of the creation of the fairy tale A recording of the fairy tale “Ashik-Kerib” was found among the papers of M.Yu. Lermontov after his death. It represents only the text of a fairy tale supposedly heard by Lermontov in 1837. Lermontov's "Ashik-Kerib" represents the Azerbaijani version of an oriental legend, existing in numerous national versions. Lermontov gave his text the subtitle “Turkish fairy tale.” The legend of Ashik-Kerib is based on the international plot of “the return of the husband to his wife’s wedding feast.” This plot represents the completion of the classic development of the situation: “love – separation – fidelity (usually tempted) – happy meeting.”

Mother's love - With your speeches you cut my heart into pieces. Last night I saw in a dream that the hair on my head had turned white, but for seven years now I have been blind from tears. Tell me, you who has his voice, when will my son come? And twice, with tears, she repeated his request to him.

Sister's love When Ashik-Kerib went to wander, his sister was still a little girl. During the seven years of her brother's absence, she turned into a beautiful girl. Even though the years had changed her brother, her heart told her it was him. She even disobeyed her mother several times and let the wanderer into the house, gave him a saaz, allowed him to play on it, and was the first to tell her mother that her son had indeed returned alive.

Love Magul-Megeri His beloved Magul-Megeri, the daughter of a rich Turk, is also distinguished by sublime, crystal clear feelings, loyalty and nobility. Despite social inequality, the beauty fell in love with the poor young man with all her heart. Violating the strict rules of behavior prescribed for women of the East, she herself came to her lover’s house. Magul-Megeri is brave, smart, resourceful, and knows how to achieve her goals. She did not deviate one iota from her vow, did not lose faith in love. The girl found a way to remind the young man about the deadline for his return and did not believe the news of his death, although material evidence was presented to her. All obstacles crumble before the lovers. Magul-Megeri “vowed to die before she lowered her head on Kurshud-bek’s bed.” This means that they forced her into marriage... We see a wedding ceremony when the bride sits behind a curtain while the groom and his guests feast.

Ashik-Kerib The image of the main character is contradictory. He is poor, but has a loving, noble heart, wonderful musical abilities, and is devoid of vanity and envy. Despite his modest position, Ashik-Kerib is full of self-esteem and values ​​freedom and independence above all else. His feelings for Magul-Migeri were dulled by wealth and fame, as a result of which he almost missed the deadline for returning to his beloved.

Forgiveness Even Ashik-Kerib’s rival, the insidious Kurshud-bek, eventually resigns himself to fate and does not allow his brother to harm the happy lovers, for he understands that nothing can prevent pure and loving hearts from uniting. Ashik-Kerib happily forgives Kurshud-bek and offers him his beautiful sister as his wife, promising to give her a rich dowry.

Temptations You can’t build happiness on someone else’s misfortune.

The love of Allah, who sent Saint George

A friend's love for Magul-Megeri A friend of Magul-Megeri was worried about her friend, knowing about her love. She woke up Ashik-Kerib, who was sleeping in the garden, so that the lovers could talk. It was then that their future fate was decided.

Summary The fairy tale is a lie, but there is a hint in it, a lesson for good fellows.


The tale was told to Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov during his service in the Caucasus by one of the local residents, possibly an Azerbaijani by nationality.

The main idea of ​​the fairy tale “Ashik Kerib”

All roads lead... to our own doorstep

The plot of the fairy tale is not new; it has been used many times in world literature, both in the East and in the West. The heir of a family, rich or poor, goes on a journey around the world in order to return as a winner, matured, more serious, partly a philosopher, the owner of material and spiritual wealth. A faithful wife or bride is waiting for him at the doorstep. The most famous stories on this topic were told by Homer and Henrik Ibsen. Odysseus and Peer Gynt, Penelope and Solveig became the personification of an irresistible thirst for travel and sacrificial loyalty.

The main idea of ​​the fairy tale is that the self-worth of an individual is verified by the attitude of his native environment, his father’s home, towards him. Wherever you are, wherever fate takes you, whatever continents you cross, whatever roads you take, you will still have to answer in your parents’ house, in places dear to your heart. What have I achieved, what am I worth? How did you fulfill your father's order? Can I be proud of me, am I worthy to represent my homeland?

Not a boy, but a husband

The tale has only one plot line, but a lot of subtext. Ashik goes on a hike to earn money, because he is an excellent musician on the saz (an instrument like a balalaika). But there is no particular need for this departure. The bride is a quite wealthy girl, and her money is more than enough for future children and grandchildren, and for a comfortable life in her father’s rich house. But the fact of the matter is that a boy, a youth, but not a man, can reason this way. It is not appropriate for a representative of the stronger half of humanity to become a parasite (in modern times, such people are ironically called “gigolos”). This is impossible, unacceptable, unmanly. And not in a human way. Ashik seems to be passing an exam for maturity and masculinity. And he passes it with honor.

A very important part of the story is dedicated to the return of the main character to his native Tiflis. He was daydreaming, thoughtful, and didn’t follow the calendar (still young!) Nevertheless, at the first reminder he sets off on his way back. Despair overwhelms the guy. Is it possible to cover a distance that requires several months in a couple of days, or even hours? It turns out that it is possible. But only if you have faith and a great desire to fulfill your plans. The fairy tale instills optimism in readers and listeners and gives strength to the disillusioned. She seems to be saying: never despair, fight, go to the end. Magic and heavenly help are, of course, useful. But if they are needed, they will not come to someone who complains every minute. In a magical or “earthly” way, problems are resolved for those who search, fight, strive for a goal, and move forward.

Gratitude to the mother, trust in the beloved

Ashik leaves the city without a shadow of a doubt that his bride will wait for him in seven long years. True love requires no guards, no detective investigations, no oaths, no threats, no promises, no suspicions, no evidence. Love and lies, love and betrayal are simply incompatible. And if this is not so, then there is nothing to talk about. There was, therefore, no love.

The mother's epiphany at the gathering of people and all the riches that the singer brought into the house represent the return of his filial debt. For upbringing, for science, for raising and nurturing, cherishing and taking care of her son and daughter, Ana (mother) receives gratitude. And also for the fact, the author emphasizes, that she taught children the most important things: not to be lazy, to rely on their own strengths, to respect and not let people down, to value the good name of the family.

Do all adults think about the baggage with which they send their grown-up offspring on a long voyage? After all, the time will come, and they, like Ashik’s mother, will have the opportunity to reap the fruits of parental education.

Finally, the main character sets an example of a noble attitude towards his opponent. The maneuver of stealing clothes did not help the cunning Kurshud-bek, and the obsessive courtship of the main character did not bring the wedding day closer. But now, when the enemy is defeated, and the heart of the beautiful Magul-Megeri is given to the triumphant, Kurshud-bek does not have to act with anger and hatred. Ashik extended a brotherly hand to him and offered to become a relative. Another victory for a wonderful musician, and what a beautiful one. A triumphant, intelligent, noble person will not humiliate the loser, will not gloat, it will not even occur to him.

What does the fairy tale Ashik Kerib teach?

So, the main and main idea of ​​the fairy tale “Ashik Kerib” fits into three main conclusions and teachings:

  • take care of your honor and dignity, go through life with your head held high, set goals and systematically achieve them
  • remember the house where you were born, where you received your first lessons, don’t forget your father and mother, teachers, be grateful
  • if you find love, do everything to preserve this treasure, work for the good of your family, appreciate what you have, success and happiness are in your hands.

FAQ:

Ashik Keriba was made rich by a certain pasha who lived in those places. Ashik Kerib actually became rich thanks to his beautiful voice. Pasha loved to listen to the songs of Ashik Kerib, although he did not like any of the singers. And when Ashik Kerib spoke to him, the pasha generously thanked him, making Ashik Kerib rich.

The first person who recognized Agik Kerib was his sister.

What does the fairy tale “Ashik-Kerib” teach?

    This fairy tale translated by Lermontov is based on real customs of the Muslim world. I will say more, I had to visit the Caucasus. And gets acquainted with the customs of the local population. I won’t hide that their customs and fairy tales deserve more respect than Russian fairy tales. First of all, in Russian fairy tales they rely more on Avos. But there, even in fairy tales, customs are revered. For example, in Azerbaijan, before a young man got married, he had to earn a bride price. And bride price was not cheap, for example, a bride with a technical school cost 7,000 Soviet rubles. But this money was used to purchase a gift for the future bride. Maybe that’s why they often tried to take Russian brides as wives, since they explained to me there that you don’t have to pay for them. That's why they have many wives. But of course they start earning money from childhood. In fact, this is what the fairy tale Ashik-Kerib is about. And this fairy tale teaches that it is tedious to observe customs and be faithful to your goal.

    Love has no barriers, even if you are 20 days away - it will transport you to another city 10 times faster, just as it transported Ashik-Keriba to Magul-Megeri.

    The fairy tale also teaches honor - that one should never stoop to low actions. A man with a kind heart is richer than a wealthy merchant with a callous soul!

    Lermontov, who liked Caucasian stories, translated one of the fairy tales of Transcaucasia, and so the story about Ashik-Kerib became available to us.

    A young man with a wonderful voice, penniless, could not come to terms with the fact that he did not have money for a wedding with his rich chosen one. His vanity carried him to foreign lands, looking for big money in order to return to Magul-Megeri after seven years.

    But he was so drunk with his money that he completely forgot about his love. If not for Magul-Migeri's reminder, Ashik-Kerib would have continued to increase his fortune thanks to his singing gift.

    Well what can I say? Usually in a fairy tale we are presented with a hero who is good even without money: kind, fair, faithful. This fairy tale is clearly not from that series. It’s about how money spoils (or spoils even more) those who are not ready to have it, because in fact, people already have everything for happiness, but for some reason many people think that there is no happiness without money. So, in the case of Ashik, there is the pure love of a girl, a gift given by heaven, a living mother and sister. A fool dreams only of wealth, not caring about the treasure that he already has.

    It's sad that the fairy tale ends with a happy ending for this scoundrel. I wonder if the Caucasian interpretation has the same layout for the hero at the end? In my opinion, events unfolded illogically and unfairly.

    The fairy tale Ashik-Kerib was written by Lermontov. In this tale, Lermontov describes the lifestyle of the Muslim people. Describes all the difficulties of their life, what happiness they can have. In this tale, Lermontov wanted to emphasize that no matter how difficult it is, a person with a great desire will be able to achieve his goals (using the example of the main character). Everyone should have their own happiness and their own path to it.

    This fairy tale actually contains motives from the Muslim world, where Lermontov emphasized that he was imbued with their life, and understands what happiness is and what a thorny path to it in their life can be.

    And the moral of the tale is that you need to choose between dreams and reality, which is not always rosy. And that the modern world is not always fair to people.

    This fairy tale teaches that if you want, you can always find your happiness, but you just need to put effort into it and be able to follow the right path to happiness.

    The fairy tale also teaches financial independence of the main character, who chose the path of hardship only in order to earn money.

    My options:

    1) you shouldn’t start a family before you have a stable financial situation (Ashik-Kerib gave himself seven years to earn money)

    2) there are very large incomes in show business (in 7 years, Ashik-Kerib earned not only his living, but also his sister’s dowry)

    3) money spoils a person (Ashik-Kerib, while he was earning money, managed to forget why he was doing this)

    4) the world is not without good people (help from a mysterious horseman with teleportation)

    5) true love endures years of testing (Magul-Megeri honestly waited for seven years)

    6) gave his word - keep it (Magul-Megeri said that if Ashik-Kerib was late, she would marry someone else - and she really was going to marry, even if she died later)

    7) it is important to be able to forgive (Kurshud-bek declared Ashik-Kerib dead, and he asked him and even gave his own sister in marriage to him)

    The fairy tale about the young man Ashik-Keribu teaches you to believe in yourself and not be afraid of difficulties, because at home they are waiting for you and supporting you and need you. Each person remains a part of his family forever, on distant travels or having his own family. And although you are loved and expected, relatives, assessing the path of their child, can express their disapproval if their son commits a bad deed. Personal growth is assessed in your home, the main thing is how you are treated in your homeland, and word of mouth travels far. You can’t be bad in a distant place and not be afraid of the bad fame that has reached your father’s house. Ashik-Kerib studied, fought and achieved his goal.

    The fairy tale Ashik-Kerib - adaptation by M.Yu. Lermontov eastern folk tale, existing in different versions.

    She teaches kindness and patience. Teaches that you made a promise - remember it, keep your word. Don't forget about your love. The power of love will help you overcome every obstacle. And those who do good for their loved ones are helped by God himself.

Lermontov's famous work entitled "Ashik Kerib" is a literary adaptation of an oriental folk tale that he heard while in exile in the Caucasus. This amazing story about eternal love and the triumph of good struck the poet so much that he decided to convey it to a wider audience. It is thanks to this decision that fourth-graders can today enjoy Eastern wisdom and a beautiful story, because this famous story is now included in the school curriculum. If you have not yet had time to read its full version, do not be upset, because the retelling of the fairy tale Ashik Kerib will allow you to get acquainted with the plot, main characters and the main idea of ​​​​the work.

A brief retelling of the fairy tale Ashik Kerib

The plot of the tale revolves around the romantic relationship of two young people: the beautiful daughter of a rich merchant Magul-Megeri and the talented but very poor singer Ashik-Kerib. He earns his living by singing street songs.
Once Ashik-Kerib sang to saaz at a wedding attended by Magul-Megeri. The young guy immediately liked the girl, gentle as a gazelle, but he could not even dream of reciprocity, because he understood how different worlds they live in. She is the only and beloved daughter of a rich man, and he has nothing but amazing talent and a kind heart.
But still, after some time, the singer decided to talk about his feelings. This happened near the vineyard where Magul-Megeri was once walking with her friends. Imagine his surprise when the beauty not only reciprocated, but also assured that her father would give them enough money for a comfortable existence.
The young man was delighted, but his Eastern dignity did not allow him to agree to such conditions, because according to the laws, it is the young man who must provide for the family. Therefore, he, having promised the girl fidelity and love, went in search of wealth.
Ashik-Kerib wandered for a long time, but he was unable to earn a fortune: there was barely enough money to provide for minimal needs. But hope for the best did not leave him: in moments when he wanted to be disappointed and lose faith, he remembered his beloved and her promise to wait for a guy for 7 years. According to the agreement, at the end of this period the girl will marry the rich but unloved Kurshud-bek.
And then one day happiness smiled on our hero: the great Pasha heard the singing of Ashik-Kerib and invited him to his palace. It was thanks to this that the young man managed to get rich, and even accidentally forget about his promise. But the inventive Magul-Megeri came up with a way to remind herself: she sent one merchant to look for the owner of the golden dish. Having remembered everything, Ashik-Kerib immediately returns to his beloved, arriving exactly at the end of the agreed time. The end of this poetic fairy tale-legend is kind and happy, not only for positive, but also for negative heroes, so after reading it, your soul becomes very light and joyful.

Retelling of the fairy tale Ashik Kerib: 4th grade studying eastern wisdom

Thus, the basis of the plot of the fairy tale is the love and determination of the main characters, who bravely and decisively overcome all obstacles on the path to happiness. It would seem that this is precisely the meaning of the work and the main idea that the author wanted to convey to his reader. But in addition, it should be noted the great Eastern wisdom hidden in the fairy tale. The poet touches not only on the theme of fidelity, but also writes about the triumph of justice and goodness. Particular attention should be paid to the denouement of the story: Kurshud-bek’s brother was about to attack the lovers with a dagger, but the abandoned groom stopped him, saying that not a single person is capable of changing what is destined for him by fate. But, as one can conclude after reading a brief retelling of the fairy tale Ashik Kerib, one cannot remain idle while waiting for change. You need to take responsibility for the future and fight for your happiness, while remaining kind and honest.

Mikhail Lermontov conveyed in prose a beautiful Turkish fairy tale with all the flavor of this country: names, realities, beliefs... All this creates the atmosphere of an oriental fairy tale.

As often happens, we are talking about a king (a rich Turk), a princess (his daughter), a poor man who is in love with a girl. The main character, a poor man, Ashik, earned money by playing music. At one festival, the musician fell in love with a beauty. She reciprocated his feelings. But the poor man is not a match for her - according to her father, he was marrying his daughter to someone more worthy. Then Ashik promises to get rich, and for this he decides to leave for seven years, leaving his mother and sister. The rich man's daughter agrees to wait, but if the groom does not keep his promise, she will be married off to someone else.

And so the poor man sets off on his journey, and a rival follows him. He steals the poor man's things and runs back to tell everyone that Ashik has drowned. The poor man moves on, wanders, and is captured. There he begins to play, and everyone likes his skill so much that he becomes a court musician.

The years go by. The bride is waiting for him, not believing the rumors of death. When her wedding has already been scheduled, she sends Ashik’s dish with a friend so that he can find the owner. Ashik recognizes his thing and understands that it is time to return.

Having driven his horse, he himself is about to die, but then the Spirit helps him - he carries him home. There he makes it to the wedding, and the bride, who was also planning to kill herself, recognizes her lover. Love wins. Even Ashik’s mother, blinded by grief, begins to see.
