Yuri Karlovich Olesha (1899-1960) is a writer who is considered one of the best stylists in Russian literature of the 20th century.

Its virtuoso language is difficult to evaluate when reading the incomplete text of the work, but only its brief content. Three Fat Men is a fairy tale novel published in 1928. It is the embodiment of the spirit of the romantic revolutionary struggle against injustice and oppression, it is full of fascinating events and amazing characters.

Part one. Tibulus the tightrope walker. A restless day for Dr. Gaspar Arneri. Ten chopping blocks

Summary: "Three Fat Men", chapters 1-2. Everybody in the city knew about the scholarship of Gaspar Arneri, a doctor of all sciences, from street boys to noble persons. Once he was going for a long walk outside the city, to the palace of evil and greedy rulers - Three Fat Men. But nobody was allowed out of the city. It turned out that on this day the gunsmith Prospero and the circus gymnast Tibulus led the assault on the government palace.

By evening, it turned out that the insurgent people had been defeated, the gunsmith Prospero had been captured by the guards and, by the order of the Three Fat Men, was put into a cage in the menagerie of the heir to Tutti, and the gymnast Tibulus remained free to find him, the guardsmen burned down the workers' quarters.

Star area

Summary: "Three Fat Men", Chapter 3. The rich rejoiced at the capture of Prospero, and the working people rejoiced that Tibulus was free and laughed at the performance in the menagerie, where the rulers were represented by three fat monkeys. Returning home, Dr. Gaspard came to the Star Square. It was called so because the largest lantern in the world, similar to the planet Saturn, hung on cables above it. Tibulus appeared over the crowd that filled the square. He walked along a cable that held a huge lantern. The guardsmen were also divided into those who supported the people, and those who shouted: "Long live the three fat men!". Having reached the lantern along the wire, Tibulus turned off the light and disappeared into the darkness.

Having reached home, where the housekeeper, Aunt Ganymede, was worried about him, the doctor, like a true historian, was going to record the events of the day. Then there was a noise behind him, the doctor looked around and saw that Tibulus had climbed out of the fireplace.

Part two. Doll of the heir to Tutti. The Amazing Adventure of a Balloon Seller

Summary "Three Fat Men", Chapter 4. On the Square of the Court, the execution of the captured insurgents was being prepared. A strong wind blew a huge bunch of balloons into the air along with a stupid and greedy salesman. He flew towards the Palace of the Three Fat Men and through the open window of the royal kitchen hit the middle of a huge birthday cake. To avoid the wrath of the gluttonous rulers, the pastry chefs covered up the seller with cream and candied fruits and served him to the table.

Celebrating the victory over the rebellious people, the fat men are ordered to bring Prospero. The gunsmith contemptuously says that the power of the rich will soon come to an end, which frightens the guests of the fat rulers. "We will execute you together with Tibulus when we capture him!" Prospero is taken away, everyone is about to start eating the cake, but they are interrupted by loud shouts of the heir to Tutti.

A twelve-year-old boy, the future heir of the Three Fat Men, a spoiled prince, was in anger: some of the guards, who had gone over to the side of the people, hacked the heir's favorite doll with sabers. Growing with him, this doll was Tutti's only friend, and he demanded to fix it.

The festive breakfast was urgently stopped and the execution was postponed, the State Council sent the captain of the palace guard Bonaventure with a broken doll to Dr. Arneri, with the order to fix the doll in the morning.

The balloon seller really wanted to disappear from the palace. The cooks showed him a secret passage, starting in one of the giant pans, and for this they asked for a ball. The seller disappeared into the pan, and the balls flew into the sky.

Negro and cabbage head

YK Olesha, "Three Fat Men", summary, chapter 5. In the morning, going to the doctor, Aunt Ganymede was very surprised when she saw a Negro in his office.

The government bribed the artists and a circus performance was held in one of the squares, glorifying the Tolstyakov. The doctor and the negro went there too. The spectators chase away the clown who called for the execution of the rebels, and the negro is mistaken for the same sold-out circus performer. It turned out to be Tibulus. Fleeing from those who wanted to catch him and hand him over to the authorities, throwing cabbage heads at them, the gymnast stumbles upon a seller of balls and discovers a secret passage to the palace kitchen.

Contingency

Yu. K. Olesha, "Three Fat Men", summary, chapter 6. Dr. Gaspar turned Tibulus into a black man with the help of special liquids and was terribly upset when he inadvertently opened at the performance, and then disappeared.

A captain of the guards came to the scientist with a broken doll and an order to fix it by morning. The doctor is surprised at the skill with which the doll is made and realizes that he has seen her face somewhere. Having disassembled the mechanism, he realizes that he will not have time to fix the doll by morning and goes to the palace to explain this to the fat men.

Strange Doll's Night

"Three Fat Men", summary, chapter 7. On the way, the doctor falls asleep in a wheelchair, and when he wakes up, he discovers that the doll is missing, he even fancied that she came to life and left him. He looked for a doll for a long time, until he got into the booth of the troupe of wandering artists of Uncle Brizak. Here he remembered where he saw the face of the heir's doll - a little artist from Uncle Brizak's troupe, a dancer named Suok, looked like it.

Part three. Suok. The difficult role of a little actress

"Three Fat Men", summary, chapter 8. When the doctor saw Suok, he could not believe for a long time that she was not a doll. Only Tibulus, who appeared in the booth, managed to convince him of this. When the doctor told about the extraordinary similarity of the girl and the doll and about his loss, the gymnast laid out his plan: Suok will play the role of the heir's doll, open the armourer's cage Prospero and they will leave the palace through a secret passage that Tibulus discovered.

On the way to the palace, they saw the dance teacher Razdvatris, who was carrying the found broken doll of the heir in his hands.

Doll with good appetite

Yu. Olesha, "Three Fat Men", summary, chapter 9. Suok played her part well. The doctor announced that he not only changed the toy into a new dress, but also taught her to sing, compose songs and dance. Tutti's heir was delighted. The fat rulers were also pleased, but they were terribly angry when the doctor, as a reward, demanded that the execution of the insurgent workers be canceled. Then the doctor said that the doll would break again if his demand was not fulfilled and the heir was very unhappy. A pardon was announced, the doctor went home, Suok remained in the palace.

She really liked the cakes and the doll had an appetite, which Tutti was very happy about - he was so bored with having breakfast alone. And Suok also heard the beating of the iron heart of the heir to Tutti.

Menagerie

A summary of the story "Three Fat Men", chapter 10. The fat men wanted to raise Tutti to be cruel, so they deprived him of living children, gave him a menagerie so that he could see only evil wild animals. Suok told him that there is wealth and poverty, cruelty and injustice in the world, that the working people will surely overthrow the rule of the fat and rich. She told him a lot about the circus, that she knows how to whistle music. Tutti liked the way she whistles a song on the key that hung on his chest that he did not notice how the key remained with Suok.

At night, the girl made her way into the menagerie and began to look for a cage with Prospero. Suddenly, a terrible creature resembling a gorilla called out to her by name. The terrible beast died, having managed to hand over to Suok a small tablet: "Everything is written there."

Part four. Gunsmith Prospero. The death of the confectionery. Dance teacher Razdvatris

Yuri Olesha, "Three Fat Men", summary, chapters 11-12. The fat men received terrible news that the rebels were going to the palace. All supporters of the authorities rushed out of the palace, but at the menagerie they stopped in fear: Prospero was moving on them, holding a huge panther by the collar in one hand, and Suok in the other.

He released the panther, and he, together with Suok, began to make his way into the pastry shop - to look for the pan, where the secret passage from the palace began. The guards, loyal to the fat men, seized the young dancer when she was about to jump into the underground passage after Prospero. The gunsmith was released, Suok was to be executed.

The dance teachers of Razdvatris were supposed to be taken to the Palace by order of the Three Fat Men, but he was stopped by the guards, who went over to the side of the people. They also got the broken doll of Tutti's heir.

Victory

Yuri Olesha, "Three Fat Men", summary, chapter 13. While Prospero was running through the underground passage, three people entered Tutti's bedroom by order of the chancellor. They poured sleeping pills into Tutti's ear, putting him to sleep for three days so that he would not interfere with the massacre of Suok with his tears.

She sat in a guardhouse guarded by guardsmen still loyal to the fat men. At that moment, when the terrible chancellor came for her to take her to the trial of the Three Fat Men, three guards went to the guardhouse, who went over to the side of the rebels. The Chancellor received a terrible blow and fell unconscious, and instead of Suok, a broken doll was taken to the court.

The judges could not get a word from the doll. The parrot, who was called as a witness, repeated Suok's conversation with Prospero and the creature that died in the cage called Tub.

Suok was sentenced to death by wild animals. But when they put her in front of the tigers, they did not react in any way to the torn, dirty doll. A scandal erupted, but then the storming of the palace by the rebellious people began.

The victory of the rebels was complete, and the three fat men were put in the cage where Prospero was sitting.

Epilogue

The story of the great scientist Tuba was written on the tablet. By order of the Fats, brother and sister - Tutti and Suok - were separated. Tutti became the heir, and Suok was given to the wandering artists. Tub, on the orders of the Three Fat Men, made a doll that was supposed to stay with the heir. When he was ordered to replace Tutti's living heart with an iron one, he refused, for which he was thrown into a cage. Tutti in the language of the disadvantaged means "separated", and Suok means "all life."

Rise of the revolutionaries

In a country ruled by the very greedy Three Fat Men, there lived one very smart doctor Gaspar Arneri. And there was no country in the country who could compare with him in wisdom. One summer he goes for a walk and sees a crowd of artisans running from the palace, pursued by the guards. It turns out that it was a rebellion against the Three Fat Men, led by the tightrope walker Tibulus and the gunsmith Prospero.

But it ended unsuccessfully and Prospero and several other rebels were captured. Passing through the square, the doctor watches as Tibulus escapes from the guards. In the evening, a tightrope walker comes to Gaspar through the fireplace.

Heir to Tutti

Meanwhile, the Three Fat Men want to see the captured Prospero and then continue their breakfast. A boy whose name is Tutti runs into the hall crying. The rulers have no children or other relatives, so they decided to make this boy their heir, who lives in the palace like a real prince and everyone is trying to please him. They do not allow him to communicate with other children and want to make his heart out of iron. The boy is engaged in the menagerie. Tutti had an unusual doll that grew up like him. But Prospero's revolutionaries pounded her with bayonets. The Three Fat Men can't afford to get upset with Tutti and decide to send for Gaspar to fix the doll.

Gaspar saves the rebels from execution

The Three Fat Men arrange a party during which the artists they bribed are to praise the rulers. But Tibulus could not stand it and a fight broke out between him and the dummy artists. During it, the revolutionary becomes aware of the existence of a secret passage. Meanwhile, Gaspar is given the order of the Fat Men and the doll.

The doctor realizes that he will not have time to finish the work and goes to the palace to explain everything. But he is not allowed inside, and his proof is a doll, he lost on the way. Gaspar finds her in "Uncle Brizak's Cottage" and is amazed to see the girl Suok, who is indistinguishable from the Tutti doll. Then the doctor has a plan: the young artist had to play the heir's doll. Suok does an excellent job with his task, and as a reward, Gaspar asks to release the rebels. Despite the discontent, the Fatties had to agree.

Liberation of Prospero and the storming of the palace

At night, Suok enters the menagerie and tries to find the cage in which the gunsmith is being kept. Instead, he finds the scientist Tuba, the creator of the Tutti doll. For the fact that he did not begin to make the boy an iron heart, he was placed in a cage, where he began to resemble a beast. Suok finds Prospero and, taking the panthers, they try to escape through a secret passage. But the girl is caught by the guards.

The next day, Suok's trial begins. So that Tutti does not interfere, he is put to sleep. But the girl does not react to anything, and then the substitution of the heir for the doll is revealed. At this time, the assault on the Palace begins under the leadership of Tibulus and Prospero. The reign of the Three Fat Men comes to an end. And on the plaque given to the dying scientists by Suok, it is written that Tutti and Suok are brother and sister, separated by order of the Fat Men. The reunited brother and sister begin performing together.

PROSPERO

PROSPERO (English Prospero - letters, "happy", "serene") - the hero of the play "The Tempest" by William Shakespeare (1611-1612). The legitimate Duke of Milan, P. became the ruler of the mysterious island due to circumstances described many times in Shakespeare's tragedies (the betrayal of his brother and the usurpation of the throne), but the entire political conflict remains outside the brackets of action. As a result of a terrible storm, P.'s enemies were in full power; he uses "white" magic to frustrate their intrigues and turn them away from evil forever. At the same time, the good wizard punishes his enemies quite harmlessly, for he sets the goal of re-educating, and not punishing the conspirators, who were not sobered even by the shipwreck. P. possesses limitless possibilities, all spirits are subordinate to him, and Ariel, who embodies the spiritual principle, becomes his main assistant. But Caliban, symbolizing the rough, animal side of human nature, is ready to betray his master - and is defeated along with his insignificant accomplices. The moral influence of P. also affects the positive characters: before blessing the alliance of his daughter Miranda with the young Ferdinand, the son of the King of Naples, he subjects their love to tests. P. is an ideal ruler who created an earthly paradise on the island. Leaving this promised land, P. releases Ariel at will and drowns in the depths of the sea the books on which his power was based. The happy ending of the play is covered with sadness: P. returns to Italy to reflect on death. The role of P. has a rich stage history - suffice it to name the names of the brilliant English actors D. Gielgud and M. Redgrave.

Scene

The atmosphere of the fabulous country of Three Fat Men is reminiscent of pre-revolutionary Odessa. the world of the novel does not have magic as such, but some fantastic elements are still present. For example, a scientist named Tub refused to make Tutti's heir an iron heart instead of a human one (the Fatties needed an iron heart in order for the boy to grow up cruel and ruthless). Tub, having spent eight years in the menagerie's cage, turned into a creature resembling a wolf - completely overgrown with hair, his fangs lengthened.

The country is ruled by Three Fat Men - monopoly tycoons with no titles or formal positions. Who ruled the country before them is unknown; they are rulers with a minor heir, Tutti, to whom they are going to transfer power. The population of the country is divided into “people” and “fat men” and those who sympathize with them, although no clear criteria for such a division is given. Fat people in general are presented as rich, gluttons and idlers, the people as poor, starving, working people, but among the heroes of the novel there are many exceptions, at least Dr. Gaspard Arneri, who cannot be attributed to the poor, but who nevertheless sympathizes with the revolutionaries, and unnamed guardsmen shooting at their fellow soldiers, the sworn fat men.

Plot

In the country of Three Fat Men, a revolutionary situation is the dissatisfaction of the poor part of society, attempts to raise a rebellion. The ideological inspirers of the revolutionaries are the gunsmith Prospero and the gymnast Tibulus. One of the main characters of the novel, a scientist, Dr. Gaspard Arneri, sympathizes with the people, although he himself is a fairly wealthy person. Prospero is arrested and imprisoned in the menagerie's cage, but the tightrope walker Tibulus remains free. Gaspard hides Tibulus in his house and repaints him as a negro for disguise. The next day, the "Negro" learns about the underground passage from the palace of the Three Fat Men (this secret is revealed to Tibula by the seller of balloons, who was accidentally blown into the palace kitchen the day before). Meanwhile, the guards of the palace guard, who had raised the revolt, stab the wonderful doll of the heir to Tutti with sabers, similar to an outwardly living girl, and the doctor was ordered to repair the mechanism in one night under the threat of severe punishment. He cannot do this for objective reasons and takes the doll to the palace, but on the way he loses it. In search of a doll, he finds a circus girl Suok in the van of wandering artists, like two drops of water similar to a broken doll. At the initiative of Tibulus, she agrees to replace the doll and help the revolutionaries: save Prospero from the palace menagerie. The girl succeeds: Prospero escapes from the palace through an underground passage. But Suok herself was caught and sentenced to death. Nevertheless, everything is going well for her and the revolutionaries: the guards, who have gone over to the side of the people, replace the girl with a found doll, the Fatties are overthrown, and Suok and Tutti (who turned out to be her brother) give performances together.

Evaluations

  • In his article "Fan of the Duchess" (1929) Osip Mandelstam noted:

Not so long ago there was published a book by Yuri Olesha - "Three Fat Men". Olesha is a writer in sight. After Envy, he released Fat Men. If Olesha's Fat Men were a translated book, then any attentive reader would say: how strange that I still did not know this wonderful foreign author. Probably, in his homeland, he is considered a classic, thank you for being translated at least late. Meanwhile, our only response to "Fats" was a review in "Reader and Writer" under the heading: "How You Shouldn't Write Books," with an arrogant and stupid grumbling and fear of praising the young author. Meanwhile, both children and adults are already reading and will be reading "Fat Men". This is crystal-transparent prose, permeated through and through with the fire of revolution, a book of a European scale.

  • Lydia Chukovskaya criticized the novel. In her opinion,

the world created by Olesha in Three Fat Men (and in many later works) is the world of things, not the world of human feelings. But readers are people, and only human beings can touch them, excite them; a thing is interesting to us only when through it it is possible to more clearly discern a person.<…>

in "Three Fat Men" things rule autocraticly, slowing down the movement of the plot, focusing the reader's attention on the secondary to the detriment of the main. Reading "Three Fat Men", one involuntarily recalls the words of Flaubert in one of his letters: "Excessive comparisons should be crushed like lice." And “Three Fat Men” was written on purpose for this purpose, so that all things, all animals, all people can be compared with animals and with things. “Large roses, like swans, floated slowly in bowls”; "The lanterns were like balls filled with dazzling boiling milk"; "The roses poured out like compote"; “His spurs were as long as runners”; “The panther, making its terrible journey through the park and through the palace, appeared here. The wounds from the guardsmen's bullets bloomed like roses on her skin. But about the people: “They fled to the city. They ran away. From afar, people seemed to be colored flags ”; “Heaps of people fell along the road. It seemed that colorful patches were falling on the greenery ”; "Now high up under a glass dome, small, thin and striped, he looked like a wasp crawling along the white wall of a house." Visually, outwardly, all this is probably true: falling people look like shreds, a man in a striped suit looks like a wasp. But these people fall, struck by the bullets of the heroes, the man walking under the dome is committing heroism - why does the author see them only from the outside? An exceptionally picturesque point of view is hardly appropriate here. If the wounded people seem to the author like rags of different colors, then, apparently, their death does not particularly affect him; it is not surprising that the reader remains indifferent to their death.

Here we come to the main source of cold, which blows from the book. After all, the theme of Three Fat Men is the struggle of the working people against the oppressors, the struggle of the insurgent people against the government. The trouble is not that this theme is taken as a fairy tale; on the contrary, a fairy tale could provide tremendous opportunities for social generalization and for the disclosure of heroism. The trouble is that the main theme drowns in the whims of the plot, the trouble is that the roses of the olesha style do not bloom in her path. How and why the people managed to win, how and why the guards went over to the side of the people, how the rebels took the palace - we learn very little about all this - much less than about Suok's pink dress, the sound of her name, or the shadow cast on face of sleeping with balloons.

  • According to another source, Serafima Gustavovna Suok was Olesha's wife. Olga Borisovna Eikhenbaum about Viktor Shklovsky:

In the 53rd year, he left the family - as he told dad, because his wife, Vasilisa Georgievna, behaved wrongly.

Shklovsky was a very freedom-loving person and demanded freedom of action for himself. He had an affair with his typist Simochka Suok. Once she was the wife of Olesha, then - Narbut, and then - just a typist for famous writers - to acquire a husband, outwardly very interesting and an interesting person. But Viktor Borisovich was not going to leave the family: he had a daughter, and he loved his Vasilisa all his life. Once he came home at 12 o'clock, the door was not opened for him. And he went to Sima in her ten-meter room, leaving everything to his wife: an apartment, a library, a dacha. And he stayed in Sima's room in a communal apartment.
