Ivan Bunin
"Thick green spruce forest by the road..."
Dense green spruce forest near the road,
Deep fluffy snow.
A deer walked in them, powerful, thin-legged,
Throwing heavy horns to the back.
Here is his trace. There are paths trampled here,
Here I bent the tree and scraped it with a white tooth -
And a lot of coniferous crosses, ostok
It fell from the top of the head onto the snowdrift.
Here again the trail is measured and sparse,
And suddenly - a jump! And far away in the meadow
The dog race is lost - and the branches,
Covered with horns on the run...
Oh, how easily he passed through the valley!
How madly, in an abundance of fresh strength,
In joyfully bestial swiftness,
He took beauty away from death!
Bunin's poetry is very original, stylistically restrained, precise, and harmonious. The poet is alien to the search for something new. His poetry is traditional, he is a follower of Russian classics. Bunin is a subtle lyricist, an excellent connoisseur of the Russian language. His poems are unique. This is more rhymed, organized prose than poetry in its classical form. But it is precisely their novelty and freshness that attracts readers.
Bunin had a sharply negative attitude towards symbolism; all of his poetics, in essence, was a persistent struggle against symbolism. Moreover, the poet was not embarrassed that he found himself alone in this struggle. He sought to tear out from his work everything that could be in common with this movement in art. Bunin especially rejected the “untruth” of symbolism. For the Symbolists, reality was a veil, a mask hiding another, more genuine reality, the exposure of which is accomplished through the transformation of reality in a creative act. Landscape is a touchstone in the depiction of reality. It is here that Bunin is especially persistent against the symbolists. For them, nature is raw material that they process. Bunin wants to be a contemplator of perfect creation.
Bunin remained true to his anti-symbolism; he could not believe that form could serve not only as a container for thought, but also express thought itself.
The form of Bunin's poems, of course, is impeccable, but it cannot help but note that the poet deliberately deprived it of many significant possibilities. By binding his form, he had partially bound himself.

Native nature occupies a very special place in Bunin’s work. In both prose and poetic works, Ivan Bunin refers to the beauties of his homeland. At the same time, the functions performed by the landscapes painted by the poet are very different depending on the specific work. A landscape can express the feelings experienced by a lyrical hero, contribute to the emergence of a contrast between the world and social elements, can become an emotional background that subtly tunes the reader to the perception of the poem. It was Bunin’s understanding of Russian nature that made its depiction in his work an excellent and effective tool serving the goals of the writer.
“Dense green spruce forest...” written in 1905. However, it was published in a collection summarizing the poet’s work for 1903-1905, entitled “Deer”.
The main theme of the work
The central theme of the short poem is nature - its description and call to protect, protect from destruction. The reader seems to see in reality red deer, who slowly, regally walks through the spruce forest, trampling paths and looking for food for himself. Nature is peaceful, calm, and the deer is the only one who disturbs its stillness. But in the third quatrain everything changes. A third factor intervenes in the harmony of the beast and the forest - man.
The deer, which previously moved naturally through the forest lands, is frightened by hunting. He is forced to take off and hide in the forest to save his life. Bunin describes this with the words “he took away beauty from death,” emphasizing that nothing good beast there is no expectation of human entertainment.
The change in the pace and nature of the narrative is rapid, it frightens the reader, makes him shudder and be taken aback for a moment. And at the same time, sympathy and sympathy are evoked by a frightened deer and a disturbed spruce forest, and not by a failed hunt. The reader experiences joy from the fact that the deer, full of strength, easily escapes from hounds and people, remains free and alive.
Structural analysis of the poem
“Yelnik” is a short work, only 4 stanzas, each consisting of one quatrain. Cross rhyme. In the first two stanzas, emphasizing the grandeur and tranquility of nature, Bunin almost does not use verbs: they appear only when necessary, describing the movements of the animal.
In the third stanza, thanks to the missing verb in the phrase “And suddenly - a jump!” swiftness and suddenness of action are achieved. It is emphasized that the peaceful picture of the forest has been destroyed; by his hunting, a man who poisons a noble animal with dogs has trampled nature.
The last stanza contains many epithets and exclamations, which conveys the joy of successfully rescuing the deer.
This poem expresses the writer’s admiration for Russian nature and warns of the need to preserve it. Bunin does not directly accuse people, he does not say anything about them at all, and man as a subject is completely absent from the work. But thanks to his talent, Bunin evokes sympathy in the reader and makes him think about whether entertainment is worth the disturbed beauty.

Red cards are words or combinations of words, and green cards are their lexical meaning. In a pair you need to connect the word and its lexical meaning. For example, let’s take a red card with the word “spruce forest”, find a green card corresponding to the word “spruce forest” - this is a card with the sentence “Forest in which spruce trees grow.” We connected these cards. And then continue this work on your own in pairs.

Guys, you have already noticed that Bunin did not give a title to his poem. We call it after the first line of the poem: “Dense green spruce forest by the road...”.

Conclusion: Ivan Alekseevich Bunin in the poem “Dense green spruce forest by the road...” sees more than preserving the life of an animal, he sees PRESERVATION OF BEAUTY. Bunin calls on us to especially vigilantly see and notice what is hidden from the eyes of a lazy person, indifferent to his native nature. Since ancient times, the deer has been considered a universal auspicious symbol. It is associated with purity, sunrise, renewal, light, spirituality and creation. The most characteristic qualities of the animal: grace, swiftness, beauty. It is no coincidence that the image of a deer appears in Bunin’s poem. Through it, the poet manages to demonstrate to readers the majesty and splendor of northern nature. Of all the forest animals, it is the deer that is most suitable as the personification of beauty and nobility.
8. “Resume” block
– What excites you?
– What are you thinking about? (Writers, artists, poets know how to love and appreciate nature, so they painted amazing pictures with colors and words.)
– This poem was written 100 years ago, but today, almost a century later, we are studying this poem and admiring these paintings. Why? (The desire to save beauty from destruction is still relevant, and therefore Bunin’s beautiful poem sounds very modern.)
Continue the phrase (reflection):
I was excited...
I thought...
Today I managed...
It was interesting to me…
I found it difficult...
I would like to…
For the next lesson I...
Homework:
– Guys, you can do everything at home:
a) on the expressiveness of reading a poem (by heart if desired)
Those who write poetry
b) try to write your own poem about nature for the next lesson.
Those who love to draw
c) draw an illustration for the poem.
You will find these tasks in the workbook.
The poet has the gift of painting with words, like an artist painting with a brush. And poems reveal to us the beauty of our native nature, urge us to protect it, and teach us to understand the language of nature. But this will not be revealed to everyone, but only to an intelligent, kind, sensitive and attentive person. Let's try to become like that!
“Dense green spruce forest near the road...” Ivan Bunin
Dense green spruce forest near the road,
Deep fluffy snow.
A deer walked in them, powerful, thin-legged,
Throwing heavy horns to the back.
Here is his trace. There are paths trampled here,
Here I bent the tree and scraped it with a white tooth -
And a lot of coniferous crosses, ostok
It fell from the top of the head onto the snowdrift.
Here is the trail again, measured and sparse,
And suddenly - a jump! And far away in the meadow
The dog race is lost - and the branches,
Covered with horns on the run...
Oh, how easily he passed through the valley!
How madly, in an abundance of fresh strength,
In joyfully bestial swiftness.
He took beauty away from death!
Analysis of Bunin's poem “Dense green spruce forest by the road...”
Nature occupies a special place in Bunin’s work, both in prose and poetry. The functions of the landscape vary. It can act as the emotional background of the work, express the feelings of the hero, serve as a contrast to social aspects. Bunin had a keen sense of nature and loved it endlessly, which is why his descriptions are distinguished by accuracy, completeness, and an abundance of correctly noted details. In the writer's landscapes amazingly the joy of being is combined with longing for truth, goodness, real beauty. Because of what people sometimes have too little of.
The work “Dense green spruce forest by the road...” is dated 1905. It was first published under the title “Deer” in Bunin’s collection “Poems 1903-1906”, published by the publishing company “Znanie”. “A thick green spruce forest by the road...” is not just a description of nature, but also a call to protect it from thoughtless destruction. There are practically no verbs in the first quatrain, and movement is kept to a minimum. For a poet it is more important to indicate the place of action ( winter forest, covered fluffy snow) and name the main character (a young thin-legged deer with heavy antlers). Further, the picture becomes more specific and acquires details. Readers are presented with the image of a proud, beautiful animal that once leisurely strolled through the spruce forest, trampling paths, looking for food. The situation changes radically in the third quatrain, which plays the role of a climax. The deer sensed danger. Everything happened quickly, unexpectedly. The poet emphasizes the suddenness with the help of the word “suddenly” and a dash: “And suddenly - a jump!” In the fourth and last part of the work, a happy ending is given. The animal managed to escape from the hunters and save its beauty from death. Bunin admires the beast - its swiftness, strength, lightness.
Since ancient times, the deer has been considered a universal auspicious symbol. It is associated with purity, sunrise, renewal, light, spirituality and creation. The most characteristic qualities of the animal: grace, swiftness, beauty. It is no coincidence that the image of a deer appears in Bunin’s poem. Through it, the poet manages to demonstrate to readers the majesty and splendor of northern nature. Of all the forest animals, it is the deer that is most suitable as the personification of beauty and nobility.
The work of the great Russian writer Ivan Alekseevich Bunin became a bright page in the history of Russian literature. Each work of this writer and poet is filled with subtle feelings, through which the author conveys to the reader the beauty and unusualness of the surrounding world and people.
Ivan Boon has written many novels, stories and wonderful poems, into which he poured not only his writing skills, but also his soul. You will read one of his poems now.
Analysis of the poem “Dense green spruce forest by the road”
The first line of the poem takes us to a winter landscape; we imagine the impassable snow that shrouds the forest thicket. Suddenly a handsome man came out from behind a green spruce forest - deer. He walked slowly and proudly carried his beautiful horns. The author describes the tracks along which the deer walked: a bent spruce, sprinkled on White snow needles and deer hair, branches covered with antlers and tracks.
It was from the tracks that the author concluded that at first the deer walked slowly, and then began to run. But who was he running away from so hastily? From people who wanted to kill him. At the end of the poem, Ivan Bunin admires the strength and beauty of the deer, which, despite everything, was able to escape from its pursuers. With his desperate run, the deer managed to save not only his own life, but also the beauty of nature, of which he is a part.
The beauty of nature in the poem “Dense green spruce forest by the road”
The poem “Dense green spruce forest by the road” evokes in the reader a feeling of admiration for nature. The author was able to convey all the beauty of nature that surrounds a person. Vast spaces, white snow, green coniferous trees and a strong, beautiful deer - all this makes us feel admiration and delight.
In the verse, Bunin also raises another very important topic - the protection of nature by man. People who hunted deer saw it exclusively as prey, and did not consider the animal as an integral part of the beautiful wildlife. They did not notice his beautiful horns, his strength and courage.
Very often we use nature for selfish purposes and thereby cause irreparable damage to the entire world around us. It should be remembered that nature must be protected: animals and plants need our help.
Each of us should do everything possible so that the beauty of nature, which Ivan Alekseevich Bunin described in his poem, does not disappear from real life, and we could always enjoy it.
