OralhanBokeisaid: “One of the Descriptive features of
the art world is a method of description of the problems of the relationships
between person and nature”.
Description
of nature plays a key role in landscapes in works of writers. It could be
noticed from examples that description of nature is deeply rooted in the
literature. The first example gives a description of nature in order to show
where the event takes place. In the second example description of nature
transmits mood of a character. If a character is in a good mood, nature looks
beautiful. But if a person is ill or is in a difficult situation, nature
appears cold and lifeless. In the third example nature description helps us to
learn what is going to happen with a character in the future: joyful moments or
hard situations. This idea can be illustrated by an example from “Dubrovski” by
A.Pushkin: the character is looking through the window before his trip. He sees
dark clouds coming closer and snow falling. “There is going to be a blizzard,
there will be a low visibility”, - told the character, hoping for God’s
blessing. But nothing helped, Dubrovski was robbed during his trip. Dark clouds
looking like black smoke were a bad sign.
OralhanBokei
writes the world of nature up. He did it in order to develop events, show the
hidden idea, uncover the fate of the character. He improves nature to emphasize
the emotional experiences of the character, animate nature and to write
aesthetic image of nature.
In
each work of Bokei we see that description of nature is shown in
characteristics of the war and humanity of characters. Landscape was made to
uncoverthe main idea and to complete the description of images. Here the
vastness of the horizon of Bokeiis shown.
In
the story called “Muztau” support of nature to a lost person is shown. Learning
about the treasure, avid Akhtan wants to get it, hiding from everyone, he gets
in a cave. The walls of the cave were frozen and covered with ice,Akhtan
slipped down and fell unconscious. When he awoke, he realized that he lies in
the ice pit. There was a possibility to climb up and get out, but Akhtan’s feet
slipped. By the morningthe sun's raysbegan to break into the cave. Akhtan saw a
dead man’s body and feared. There was a silver round sign on corpse’s clothes.
Akhtan understood, that was his father. The character realized that his father
learnt about the treasure and came here to take it. Then Akhtan tries once more
to get out of the hole. He sees a little ray of sunshine, which goes from the
above.
When
Akhan finally managed to get out of the dark hole, he saw the bright blue sky, soft
joyful smile appeared on his face, he was glad to be saved. If he hadnot got to
such a situation, would he ever feel such heat of the nature? What wonderful
weather! Akhtan has never had gained such experience from the nature before.
Now he owes it. If there hadnot been that ray of light, Akhtan would have never
found a way out of that hole.
OralhanBokei
always wanted a person and nature to exist in harmony. Violation of this
connection conducts to serious consequences, both for a person and for nature.
The
writer gave nature a language, so nature talks to a person:
“-
Hey, Red Sand! Why don’t you leave us?
-
Where can I find a shelter? Where am I needed?
-
Why do take the last drop of water from the people?
-
Nowadays not only water runs away from people, even forests, animals and plants
do the same.”
Mountains,
waters, lands, snow and rain – all are connected together. If one of them is
harmed, consequences will touch all of them.Now people forgot about this law.
People do a lot of harm to the nature. That is why the author reminds of these
relationships to readers. “You are responsible for violation of beauty of the
nature”, - says the writer, making people be guilty.
OralhanBokei
did not write his stories in order to show exhausted nature’s revenge. He had
different aims. Now nature is going to be ruined. Forests and pastures, rivers and lakes, vast stepps and the soil are
poor in animals, birds and plants. This conducts to coming nearer global
disaster, which threatens people’s life.
The writer worries about people’s further life.
