Tsar-fish. The narrative in the stories. Astafiev V.

“Tsar-fish”, the main book of Viktor Astafyev (1924–2001), became a vivid phenomenon of the literature of the Soviet era. She talks about the people of the Russian North and their relationship with nature. The main theme of the work is discontinuation, awakening in people of insatiable thirst for blood, craving for violence. The author is indignant and lamented, mourns about human brutality and calls to be careful about nature. But did these calls and exclamations change the severe cruelty of life, which is laid down by nature itself?
