In the evening they played cards at Steers's. Among those gathered was Thomas Harvey, a young man stranded in Liss due to serious illness. While playing, Harvey heard a woman's voice clearly say: "Running on the waves." Moreover, the other players did not hear anything. The day before, from the window of the tavern, Harvey watched as a girl came off the ship, acting as if she was gifted with the secret of subjugating circumstances and people.

The next morning, Thomas went to find out where the stranger who had amazed him was staying, and learned that her name was Biche Seniel. For some reason, he saw a connection between the stranger and yesterday’s incident behind the cards. This guess became stronger when in the port he saw a ship with light contours and on its board the inscription: “Running on the waves.” Captain Guez, an unfriendly and harsh man, refused to take Harvey as a passenger without the permission of the owner, a certain Brown. With Brown's note, the captain received Harvey almost kindly and introduced him to his assistants Sinkwright and Butler, who made a good impression, unlike the rest of the crew, who looked more like rabble than sailors.

During the voyage, Thomas learned that the ship was built by Ned Seniel. Seniel Harvey had already seen the portrait of his daughter Bice on the table in the captain's cabin. Gez bought the ship when Ned went broke. At Dagon, three women boarded.

Harvey did not want to take part in the fun that had begun with the captain, and he stayed at his place. After some time, hearing the screams of one of the women and the threats of the drunken captain, Harvey intervened and, in defense, knocked the captain down with a blow to the jaw. Enraged, Ghez ordered to be put into a boat and launched into the open sea. When the boat was already drifting away from the side, the woman, wrapped from head to toe, deftly jumped over to Harvey. Under a hail of ridicule, they set sail from the ship. When the stranger spoke, Harvey realized that it was this voice that he had heard at Steers’s party. The girl called herself Frezi Grant and told Harvey to head south.

There he will be picked up by a ship heading to Gel-Gyu. Having made him promise not to tell anyone about her, including Beach Seniel, Frezi Grant stepped onto the water and swept away along the waves. By noon, Harvey actually met the “Dive”, going to Gel-Gyu. Here on the ship, Harvey again heard about Frezi Grant. One day, in a completely calm sea, a rising wave lowered her father’s frigate near the extraordinary beauty of the island, to which there was no possibility of mooring. Frezi, however, insisted, and then the young lieutenant casually noted that the girl was so thin and light that she could run on water.

In response, she jumped onto the water and easily ran through the waves. Then the fog descended, and when it cleared, neither the island nor the girl was visible. They say she began to appear as a castaway. Harvey listened to the legend with special attention, but only Daisy, Proctor’s niece, noticed this. Finally, “Dive” approached Gel-Gyu. The city was in the grip of a carnival.

Harvey walked along with the motley crowd and found himself near a marble figure, on the pedestal of which was the inscription: “Running on the waves.” The city, it turns out, was founded by Williams Hobbes, who was shipwrecked a hundred years ago in the surrounding waters. And Frezi Grant saved him, running along the waves and naming a course that led Hobbes to the then deserted shore, where he settled.

Then a woman called out to Harvey and said that a person in a yellow dress with brown fringe was waiting for him at the theater. Having no doubt that it was Bice Seniel, Harvey hurried to the theater. But the woman dressed as said turned out to be Daisy.

She was disappointed that Harvey called her by Beeche's name and quickly left. A minute later Harvey saw Bice Seniel. She brought money and was now looking for a meeting with Gez to buy the ship. Harvey managed to find out which hotel Ghez was staying at. The next morning he went there with Butler. They went up to the captain. Gez lay with a bullet through his head.

People came running. Suddenly they brought Biche Seniel. It turned out that the day before the captain was very drunk. In the morning a young lady came to him, and then a shot rang out.

The girl was detained on the stairs. But then Butler spoke up and admitted that it was he who killed Gez.

He had his own account with the scammer. It turns out that the Wave Runner was carrying a cargo of opium, and Butler was owed a significant portion of the income, but the captain deceived him. He didn’t find Gez in the room, and when he appeared with the lady, Butler hid in the closet. But the date ended in an ugly scene, and in order to get rid of Gez, the girl jumped out of the window onto the landing, where she was later detained. When Butler got out of the closet, the captain attacked him, and Butler had no choice but to kill him. Having learned the truth about the ship, Beach ordered the desecrated vessel to be sold at auction. Before parting, Harvey told Beach about his meeting with Frezi Grant.

Beach suddenly began to insist that his story was a legend. Harvey thought that Daisy would have taken his story with complete confidence, and remembered with regret that Daisy was engaged.

Some time passed. One day in Lega, Harvey met Daisy. She broke up with her fiancé, and there was no regret in her story about it. Soon Harvey and Daisy got married.

Doctor Filatr visited their house on the seashore. He spoke about the fate of the ship "Running on the Waves", the dilapidated hull of which he discovered near a deserted island. How and under what circumstances the crew left the ship remained a mystery. Saw Filatr and Bice Seniel. She was already married and gave Harvey a short letter wishing him happiness. Daisy, she said, expected the letter to recognize Harvey's right to see what he wanted.

Daisy Harvey speaks for everyone: “Thomas Harvey, you are right. Everything was as you said. Frezi Grant! You exist!

Answer me!” "Good evening friends! - we heard from the sea. “I’m in a hurry, I’m running...”

based on the book by A.S. Green “Running on the Waves”

Samara, 2016

I think many people associate the name of Alexander Stepanovich Green with the story “Scarlet Sails”. I really liked this book too. Such a gentle and “light” Assol, completely different from all the people who surrounded her. And handsome Gray, I think, is the dream of many girls. He is so brave, responsible, courageous and capable of actions that are incomprehensible to ordinary people, but from which you immediately come to delight.

Having learned that there was another book by this author in my library, I became interested in it. This is the novel "Wave Runner". The name itself already speaks of some kind of magic. Besides, I once heard such an expression in a song. In general, I decided to read this novel.

I will not hide that at first I found the book a little boring. But the more I read, the more interesting I was about what would happen next. And when the novel came to an end, I was a little upset that I would no longer be able to be in such a wonderful atmosphere.

This work raises such important and always relevant issues as love and self-denial, truth and lies, fear and overcoming it, fortitude and the inability to rise above the vanity of life.

The events in the novel take place either in Lissa, or at sea on the ship “Running on the Waves,” or on the ship “Nyrok,” or in the city of Gel-Gyu, or in Leg. But in any case, all actions take place in deep connection with the sea.

The main character of the work is Thomas Harvey, who is looking for his Unfulfilled. He accidentally sees a beautiful girl in the seaport. He later learns that her name is Biche Seniel. Harvey wants to find her at all costs, and goes on a journey across the sea with the not very friendly captain of a ship with the telling name “Running on the Waves”.

This phrase is the center of the story. Every time we hear or see it in a new and new guise. This is either a ship, or a certain girl from a legend, or a statue in a port city.

Another feature of the novel is that the reader, together with the hero of the work, involuntarily returns to something that, it would seem, will no longer be possible to find out. In real life, we rarely find out what happened to a person who was once close to us. But in the book, Harvey learns about the death of the ship “Running on the Waves”, about the further fate of Beach Seniel, about Desi, with whom he parted in a different way than he would have liked.

If we talk about the plot, it revolves around the journey by sea of ​​Thomas Harvey, to whom Dr. Filatr prescribed a change of scenery after an illness.

Harvey, as in any adventure novel, goes through many trials before meeting his future wife. And only from the last chapters of the novel do we learn that Harvey realized that he had always been looking for Desi. It was the memory of her that always warmed his soul. I'm very glad that everything ended so well. Desi and Harvey are married, live in the house of their dreams, can host friends and openly say what they think without hiding the truth.

Another feature of the work is that we almost all the time hear what the main character thinks, what feelings he experiences. This moment, I think, greatly distinguishes the book from any movie. Where it is not always clear how the hero really feels.

“I shuddered - the blood rushed into my temples. More than one sigh of amazement—a greater, more complex feeling—held in me the beating of my loudly then speaking heart. I took a breath twice before I could once again read and understand these amazing words that rushed into my brain like a volley of arrows.” This describes the moment when Harvey accidentally saw the name of the ship, which just recently suddenly very clearly popped up in his brain.

“While these explanations were taking place, I was so stunned, confused and conflicted in my thoughts that, although I avoided looking at Biche for a long time, I still asked her with my eyes. Unnoticed by others, and immediately her look told me exactly: “No.” It talks about the feelings that Harvey experienced when he was in the hotel room where he discovered Ghez's corpse.

Some duality can also be seen in the fact that Biche and Desi are wearing the same dresses at the carnival. Harvey confuses them.

This duality is not just symbolic, it resembles the complexity of the character of almost any real person. After all, sometimes we are in such a hurry to believe in something magical, and sometimes we do not notice the beauty of the things around us, looking at the world indifferently. So Beach cannot believe in the existence of Frezi Grant, and Harvey does not want to give up his principles, distort the truth to please even the woman he loves.

It is also interesting that Frezi Grant is the most unreal woman, but she speaks like ordinary people. But Harvey sees Beach as something unreal, she seems to be floating above this dirty environment in which she found herself by accident. And when speaking or thinking about Desi, Harvey always remembers the feeling that remains from contact with something unusual.

Almost all the characters in the book are ambivalent. Even Captain Gez showed himself to be a very contradictory person. He either plays cards, having gotten pretty drunk, or plays the violin quite decently, or practically throws Harvey into the open sea, or tells Beach about his love for her.

But still, the passion for profit, for easy and dishonest money destroys Gez and his assistant Butler, who kills his captain.

The language of the novel is also worthy of praise. Greene resorts to comparisons very often. For example: “Among the men there were two old men. The first, resembling an overweight, grinning bulldog, with his elbows wide apart, was smoking, rolling a huge cigar in his mouth; the other laughed..."; “He rushed after me like a dog”; “I liked her like a warm wind in my face; “I was lost, like a stone falling into water.”; “Like marble in the beam, her hand sparkled.”

There are also metaphors in the novel. For example: “I stunned myself with such a portion of whiskey that I myself would have considered monstrous at another time, and buried myself in bed...”; “the chorus of thoughts flew by and died down”; “in the distance above us a light avalanche of the east began to move, sending bright spears of advancing fire hidden by the clouds.”

There are also epithets: “wild night”, “sudden beauty”, “in its greedy hope”, “an elegant black car among that colorful and deafening traffic”.

The details of the characters’ portraits play a special role. They give a very accurate description of their owner.

“I stopped the woman. A fat, loud woman of about forty with a scarf tied around her head and a brush in her hands, having learned that we were inquiring whether Gez was at home, frantically pointed to the opposite door at the far end. “Is he at home? I don’t and don’t want to know!” she announced, quickly pushing stray dirty hair onto the floor of the handkerchief with her fingers and becoming excited.” The portrait of Ghez also evokes some disgust: “his profile went from the roots of his hair with a thrown back, nervous forehead - an almost vertical line of a long nose, a dreary upper lip and a stubbornly protruding lower lip - to a heavy, steeply turned chin. The line of a flabby cheek, propping up an eye, was connected below with a gloomy mustache.”

There is a lot of dialogue in the novel, which gives the story a certain realism, even when Harvey talks to Frezi Grant.

Another feature of the novel is that even seemingly insignificant people are capable of great deeds. Like, for example, Cook, who at first seemed to me a gossip and a bore. But later we learn that he died (“he was shot during an attack on the Graca Parana house”). Death for a statue... Not every person is capable of this.

After reading the book, I wanted to know what the critic thought about this novel, how he understood the essence of the work.

“During his life, Greene saw a lot of grief and people crushed by life. He saw even more disfigured souls, a universal disease of lack of spirituality, the consequence of which was various vices and flaws: individualism, insensitivity to beauty, selfishness, mutual understanding. Green wanted to see people differently, better; he envisioned the ideal of a harmonious person, a free personality with a rich spiritual life, with a developed sense of beauty, with respect for the inner world of others.”

Critic V. Kharchev calls this novel “the most bizarre and mysterious, enigmatic and magical.”

I would advise all girls to read “Running on the Waves” by A.S. Green. Boys will also find many interesting moments in it, but I think they are far from understanding the book, because it teaches not only courage, but also the ability and desire to see beauty where others do not notice it. And for modern boys, sacrificing something for girls is difficult. Therefore, it is difficult to feel the inner beauty of a person, a girl. But Harvey didn’t even regret at all that he had given so much money to Gez for him to take him on his ship. And Gavrey did not feel sorry for the money, with which he bought and built (with the help of Toval) a dream house for Desi.

This book made me think about very complex, adult questions. Why is it so difficult to stay the course and not obey the opinion of the majority? How to make your life more interesting and notice the beauty and miracles around you? How to learn to trust again the people who betrayed you once? Why is real life sometimes like a carnival of bustle, and why can a person’s rich inner life go unnoticed?

Read the novel “The Wave Runner” and you will find something of your own in it that you have not yet understood or that you have not yet had time to think about. Enjoy your reading, dear people!

In the romantic genre. Modern critics would classify it as fantasy, although the author himself did not admit this. This is a work about the unfulfilled. The action takes place, as in most of Greene's works, in a fictional country.

“Running on the Waves”: summary of chapters 1-6

In the evening everyone gathered at Steers's to play cards. Among the other guests was Thomas Harvey. This young man stayed in Lissa due to a serious illness. While playing, he clearly heard a woman’s voice say: “Running on the waves.” And yesterday Thomas watched from the window of the tavern a girl who had just gotten off the ship. She behaved as if she could subjugate both people and circumstances. In the morning, Harvey learned that the stranger who amazed him was called Biche Seniel. For some reason, it seemed to him that the girl and yesterday’s voice were somehow connected. When he saw a ship in the port with the inscription “Running on the Waves,” his guess only grew stronger. Captain Ghez, a harsh and not very friendly person, agreed to take Harvey as a passenger only with the permission of the owner of the ship, a certain Brown.

When Thomas returned with the note, the captain became friendlier. He introduced Harvey to Butler and Sinkwright, his assistants. The rest of the crew did not resemble sailors, but different rabble.

“Running on the Waves”: summary of chapters 13-18

Already during the voyage, Thomas learns that this ship was once built by Ned Seniel. On the captain's desk was a portrait of his daughter. When Ned went bankrupt, Gez bought the ship. At Dagon, the captain took three women on board for entertainment. But soon Harvey heard one of them screaming, and Ghez threatening her. While defending the woman, Thomas hit the captain in the jaw so hard that he fell down. The enraged Gez ordered Harvey to be put in a boat and put into the sea. When the ship was about to set sail, a woman, wrapped from head to toe, jumped into it. The girl’s voice was the same as the one who uttered the mysterious phrase at Steers’s party. She said her name was Frezi Grant and told her to sail south. There he will meet a ship heading to Gel-Gyu, which will pick him up. At the girl’s request, Harvey promised not to tell anyone, not even Beach Seniel, about her. Then Frezi Grant stepped onto the water and was carried away by the waves. By lunchtime, Thomas actually met the ship “Nyrok”, which was heading to Gel-Gyu and picked him up. There Harvey once again heard about Frezi Grant. Her father had a frigate. One day, a wave in a completely calm sea dropped him next to an unusually beautiful island, to which it was not possible to land. Frezi, however, insisted on this. Then the young lieutenant noticed that she was so light and thin that she could run straight across the water on her own. The girl actually jumped off the ship and easily walked across the waves. The fog immediately fell, and when it cleared, there was no longer either Frezi or the island. The fact that Thomas listened to the legend especially attentively was noticed only by Proctor’s niece, Daisy.

“Running on the Waves”: summary of chapters 19-24

Soon the ship arrived in Gel-Gyu. There was a carnival in the city. Thomas found himself next to a marble figure, on its pedestal was carved the familiar inscription: “Running on the waves.” It turned out that Frezi Grant also saved Williams Hobbes (the founder of the city) a hundred years ago when he was shipwrecked. The course indicated by the girl led him to this shore, which was then still deserted. Harvey was informed that a woman would be waiting for him at the theater. He hoped to see Seniel, but it turned out to be Daisy. Thomas called her Beeche, the girl was offended and left. And a minute later he actually met Seniel: she was looking for Geza to redeem the ship.

“Running on the Waves”: summary of chapters 25-29

In the morning, Thomas and Butler went to the hotel where the captain was staying. Gez was lying in his room, he was killed. They said that everyone heard the shot immediately after Bice’s visit to the captain. She was detained as a suspect, but then Butler admitted that he was the killer. He and Gez had their own scores to settle: the captain did not give him most of the income received for transporting opium. Butler went into his room, there was no one there. But he had to hide in the closet, as the captain appeared with a lady. Unable to withstand Geza's advances, Biche jumped out of the window of the room onto the landing. The captain attacked Butler, who had crawled out of the closet, and he, in self-defense, killed him.

Summary of “Running on the Waves”: chapters 30-35

Beach decided to sell the ship at auction. Harvey told her about Frezi Grant. She insisted that it was just a legend. Thomas thought with regret that Daisy would have believed him, but she was already engaged. However, he was soon destined to meet her again. Daisy said that she and her fiance broke up. After a while, the heroes got married and lived in a house on the seashore. Doctor Filatr visited them. He said that he saw the broken hull of the ship “Running on the Waves” off the coast of a deserted island. Nothing is known about the fate of its crew. The doctor saw Biche. She was already married and gave Harvey a small letter wishing him a happy life. On behalf of everyone, Daisy said that Harvey was right - Frezi Grant really exists.

The romance of the sea, the mysterious stories of ships, and mysterious sailor legends lie at the heart of “Running on the Waves,” a novel that constitutes the apotheosis of Green’s romanticism. Here it permeates everything - the characters of the positive heroes, their worldview, their attitude towards each other, and pictures of nature, the carnival, and the description of the “Running” sculpture. The main characters of the work are sharply divided into two camps. Some - and all the author’s sympathies are on their side - are romantics in their soul, in their perception of life: Thomas Harvey, Dzzy, Frezi Grant, the townspeople guarding the sculpture of the “Running Woman”; others are prosaic, thoughtful natures: Bice Seniel, Tobbogan, the city's rich, seeking to destroy the monument. These sober-minded people, devoid of imagination and a poetic attitude to life, are one-sided and callous. They live in the real world, everything for them has its own specific, direct or indirect, value, everything must be logical and clear.

The smart, but too rational girl Biche cannot believe in the existence of Frezi Grant, the girl from the legend, the patroness of sailors. How many times does she repeat: “It didn’t happen, Harvey.” “It was,” he replies, “and this is the reason for their divergence.” Tobbogan, looking at the cheerful, riotous carnival in honor of the city’s centenary, thoughtfully says: “Just think what kind of money is wasted on trifles... if you gave me one thousandth of this ruined money, I would build a house and start a good farm” (5 ; 96) - and the enthusiastic, romantic Daisy leaves him.

Romantics live in this world completely differently. They are inspired by a power “more commanding than passion or mania” (5; 4) - the power of a dream, a romantic expectation of happiness, “the power of the Unfulfilled,” as Harvey calls this feeling. It guides a person, and, obeying it, he commits actions that would seem meaningless from the point of view of a “realist,” but only complete surrender of oneself into the hands of this force brings happiness to a person.

And at the same time, this novel is surprisingly rich in realistic details. They are in descriptions of ships, and in scenes of street carnival processions, and in sketches of nature. This combination of the romantic spirituality of the events described with the realistic details surrounding them creates a completely unique poetic style of the novel and makes it one of Greene's most popular works.

In “Running on the Waves,” one very interesting idea appears, which would seem completely out of character for Green. Usually his romantic hero is a proud loner. He alone confronts the prose of life and, with beautiful courage, alone withstands the blows of reality.

Here the romantic heroes are not loners. They are united not only by personal connections and sympathies, but also by a common cause - the protection of the “Running” statue. The townspeople have rallied into a team protecting the sculpture, and even Harvey, a stranger in this city, quickly becomes an insider in it, not only because of his common views with the townspeople, but also because he feels in their collective the only force that can save the “Running” .

The spirit of collectivism, which binds the positive heroes and gives them strength in the struggle, is a feature of the romance of this work.

In the evening they played cards at Steers's. Among those gathered was Thomas Harvey, a young man stranded in Liss due to serious illness. While playing, Harvey heard a woman's voice clearly say: "Running on the waves." Moreover, the other players did not hear anything.

Captain Guez, an unfriendly and harsh man, refused to take Harvey as a passenger without the permission of the owner, a certain Brown.

Daisy, she said, expected the letter to recognize Harvey's right to see what he wanted. Daisy Harvey speaks for everyone:

“Thomas Harvey, you are right. Everything was as you said. Frezi Grant! You exist! Answer me!” "Good evening friends! - we heard from the sea. “I’m in a hurry, I’m running...”
