Synopsis "Moby-Dick; Or, the Whale (in Russian)"

Melvill nachinaet izdaleka. Posvyashcheniya, vstupleniya, filosofskie rassuzhdeniya o pol'ze morskikh puteshestviy vedutsya, zametim, ot pervogo litsa, ot imeni Izmaila. Ponachalu Izmail predstaet pered chitatelem dostatochno zrelym, umudrennym zhizn'yu chelovekom. Zatem vdrug okazyvaetsya, chto Izmail eto sovsem molodoy chelovek, romanticheskiy geroy, zhelayushchiy posmotret' mir. Povedenie, slova, postupki, mysli zhivo svidetel'stvuyut ob etom. Ego znakomstvo s Kvikegom, ves' otrezok vremeni do popadaniya na bort Pekoda, vse eto kasaetsya molodogo Izmaila. Tut stanovitsya yasno, chto pervonachal'nyy Izmail filosof - eto nekto inoy, byt' mozhet sam avtor. Po khodu rasskaza molodoy Izmail postepenno vytesnyaetsya etim avtorskim alter ego, proiskhodit svoego roda psikhologicheskaya podmena. Naprimer, kogda rech' idet o tyazheloy bolezni Kvikega, priklyuchivsheysya s nim v plavanii, v golose avtora slyshitsya kakoe-to otstranennoe sochuvstvie, net pervonachal'noy teploty, net togo trogatel'nogo bespokoystva za svoego druga, s kotorym Izmail vylamyval dver' v nantaketskoy gostinitse. No, krome togo, kak-to nezametno rech' voobshche perestaet vestis' ot pervogo litsa, za isklyucheniem korotkogo i chisto nominal'nogo epiloga. Izmail stanovitsya ne glavnym geroem, kak eto kazalos' ponachalu, no lish' povodom dlya filosofskikh i psikhologicheskikh refleksiy, nazovem ikh tak, avtora. Nimalo ne zabotyas', estestvenno, o zanimatel'nosti, avtor, on slovno s narochitoy netoroplivost'yu i obstoyatel'nost'yu izlagaet klassifikatsiyu kitov, raspisyvaet tonkosti i blagorodstvo kitoboynogo promysla. Vse eto interesno samo po sebe, i potomu, v chastnosti, chto demonstriruet vzaimootnosheniya prirody i cheloveka devyatnadtsatogo veka. Lyubopytno otmetit' tu ubezhdennost', s kotoroy avtor dokazyvaet nevozmozhnost' zametnogo umen'sheniya chislennosti kitov posredstvom promysla. A znamenitoe kovarstvo i zlobnost' Mobi Dika zaklyuchayutsya, po suti, lish' v tom, chto on ne zhelaet byt' ubitym, podobno drugim kitam. Vse eti opisaniya, propovedi, vstavnye novelly, sozdayushchie epicheskuyu kartinu zhizni, i kotorye delayut Mobi Dika, chto nazyvaetsya, mudroy knigoy, sluzhat eshche i obshchey zadache. Gde-to daleko za kazhushcheysya medlitel'nost'yu povestvovaniya, skudnoy romantikoy i povsednevnymi zabotami plavaniya mayachit prizrak belogo kita, slovno kakaya-to szhataya i gotovaya v lyuboy moment raspryamit'sya moguchaya pruzhina. Kapitan Akhav uzhe proiznes, a vernee, prostonal svoi slova: Naydite mne Mobi Dika! Naydite mne belogo kita!, i zolotoy dublon - nagrada pervomu, kto ego zametit - uzhe pribit k grot-machte. I vot postepenno narastaet chitatel'skoe neterpenie: Da gde zhe etot kit, i kogda zhe, nakonets, razvyazka?. No razvyazka ne nastupaet dolgo. Lish' sgushchaetsya atmosfera na Pekode i vokrug nego. Neveroyatnyy grob Kvikega, sumasshestvie negritenka Pipa, shtorm i ogni svyatogo El'ma, nakonets, vstrecha s Rakhil'yu, poteryavshey svoi vel'boty i detey kapitana, eti sobytiya, sami po sebe vpolne obychnye, vystraivayut ryad zloveshchikh predznamenovaniy i sozdayut gnetushchuyu atmosferu bezyskhodnosti. Iz priklyuchencheskoy povesti povestvovanie transformiruetsya v psikhologicheskiy triller, zakanchivayushchiysya apokalipsisom. Zdes' uzhe net mesta, kak v nachale romana, ironichnym zamechaniyam i yumoru. Kul'minatsiya etoy istorii, slovno provozglashaet o tom, chto chudovishcha obitayut ne v morskikh glubinakh, a v okhvachennom neobuzdannymi strastyami mozgu cheloveka.

Herman Melville (New York, August 1, 1819-New York, September 28, 1891)1 was an American writer, novelist, poet, and essayist from the American Renaissance period. Among his most famous novels are Typee (1846), based on his experiences in Polynesia, and the novel Moby Dick (1851),1 considered his masterpiece and a classic of world literature

Between 1853 and 1855, he published a series of stories in Putnam Magazine, most of which were collected in The Piazza Tales, including two of Melville's most important narratives: the story Bartleby, the Scrivener and the novella Benito Cereno. Also featured is the story The Encantadas, consisting of ten sketches about the Galapagos Islands linked by a single narrator. In 1857, The Confidence-Man: His Masquerade, also known as The Confidence-Man, was the last prose fiction work he published. Seeking financial stability, he abandoned writing, accepting a position as a customs inspector

In his later years, in which he also had to endure the death of two of his brothers as well as the death of two of his sons, Clarence, from tuberculosis, and Malcolm from a possible suicide, as well as the death of another of his sons at thirty-five years old, Stanwix Melville, he dedicated himself to writing poetry. Battle-Pieces and Aspects of the War, from 1866, is a poetic reflection on the Civil War and Clarel: A Poem and Pilgrimage in the Holy Land, a fictional epic poem, published in 1876. The novel Billy Budd, which he left unfinished and was posthumously published in London in 1924, is considered one of the most significant works of American literature.
