Погоня

Rate this book
Ранним осенним утром в заказнике на озере Великом прозвучали два выстрела. Их услышал егерь охотхозяйства Анатолий Иванович. По законам охоты стрелять в заказнике - тягчайшее преступление. Егерь устремился к берегу, чтобы задержать нарушителя. Но тот заметил сторожевой челнок и бросился в лесную чащу. Инвалид-егерь (он потерял ногу на войне), не раздумывая, пустился в трудную, долгую и опасную погоню за браконьером...
Так завязывается рассказ "Погоня", давший название всему сборнику рассказов Ю. Нагибина, сюжетно связанных с Мещерой. Мещера - край дремучих лесов и просторных озер, изобильно богатый рыбой и дичью.
Автор с любовью рисует людей мещерской земли: охотников, рыбаков, плотников, егерей, их душевную чистоту и поэтичность, их суровую заботу о природе и несгибаемую волю, когда речь идет о борьбе с преступными расхитителями природных богатств.
Хотя действие многих рассказов развертывается на фоне охоты, смысл рассказов сводится не к приключениям охоты - они повествуют о красоте и сложности человеческих отношений.

Yuri Markovich Nagibin (Russian: Юрий Маркович Нагибин; April 3, 1920 – June 17, 1994) was a Soviet writer, screenwriter and novelist.

He is best known for his screenplays, but he also has written several novels and novellas, and many short stories. He is known for his novel The Red Tent that he later adapted for the screenplay for the film of the same name.[1] The novel was based on the history of Don Quixote's expedition to the North Pole.

The themes he explores range from war to ritual, history and cars.

Nagibin's mother was pregnant with him when his father was executed as a counter-revolutionary before he was born. He was raised by a Jewish stepfather from infancy, and was unaware of that he had a different father, so he always assumed he was Jewish himself. Mark Anthony, his stepfather was arrested himself and exiled to Northern Russia in 1927. Nagibin found out late in life that he was not in fact Jewish, but he consciously retained ethnic Jewish identity, having suffered many anti-Semitic incidents in the course of his life.[2]

In October 1993, he signed the Letter of Forty-Two.[3]

He was born, and died, in Moscow, and was buried in Novodevichy Cemetery.
