The story of Rasputina "Farewell to Materia" is devoted to the whole end of the old era and a new time. People who are accustomed to measured life on a small island do not fit into this new industrial world.
Chapters 1-3.
In the village of Mater, the last year has come. Further, we built a hydroelectric power station with a dam, and soon water flashes on the site of old houses and fields. The village is already dying - the fields are sown not all, many houses are empty or is about to empty, the young population of the village has already left for a new settlement. Some families received apartments in the city.
Matera, who sawed and the Cossacks, and the convicts, who survived Kolchaktsev and stood up three hundred years as if she said goodbye to their inhabitants. By the end of the spring, only old yes young left. Three old women - Sima with Daria and Nastasya, - often gathered, sometimes they joined them for conversations of the old man of Bogardul. Former once a trader, he spoke only by Mat. He chose the matter as his last refuge and lived on an elevation, in the barrack, remaining from Kolchakov.
Siema had a grandson of the ring, wild and silent, all to the mother - a dumb daughter of Six Valku. Sima was in Mother of the arrivals, moved to her to find the Bobyl and pass his age with him, but did not work out. Nastasya had a husband, Egor, who moved to the city and his old woman since he walked - began to say that he died. The peaceful tea drinking three old women interrupted the beard, fighting the message about the plunder of the cemetery. It turned out that the "water" was a sanitary brigade sent to the territory. Maternity cemetery defended.
Chapters 4-6
Daria hardly transferred an attempt to desecrate the graves. There were many generations of her ancestors and she felt guilty of what happened. Daria recalled the parents and six children, from which three times. Senior of the survivors, - Paul, - worked in the new collective farm and agreed to transport the grave to a new place. Only now all did not transport.
Those who wanted to move, paid for arson of houses in Mother. One of the desired light money was Petruch, the son of Katerina. His wishes hurt that his house was called the museum exhibit and promised to preserve, transporting to the museum.
Chapters 7-9
Was in the village and "Master's owner" - an invisible animal, a little higher than the cat in the rising. He defeated the village, feeling her imminent end. I left Nastasya, but I promised to return - in the fall I had to dig up potatoes.
Then Egor took Katerina and Petruma finally burned his house. On the eve he drove his mother and she spent the night of Darya. Subsequently, Petrukha disappeared with the money received for arson, and Katerina remained from Darya. Darya's son, Paul, came more and less - he got the position of brigadier with all the problems.
Chapters 10-15
Petruhu everyone knew both inaccurated and lazy, but Katerina hoped that he would wisely regret money and she would be able to move towards him. Daria vinyl her for Petrukhin character, but Katerina said that he did not know how the son could grow so. So hazardly approached the Senokos and Matera came to life for the last time. Paul came, passed people from the neighboring state farm and distant edges.
Petruch arrived and even grandson Darya, Andrei. At the end of the summer, rain began and harvesting temporarily stopped. Daria with Andrei in the views did not come together: he rushed to the construction of the HPP, but she did not like that he floods the once native matter.
Vorontsov arrived to warn that by September in the village should not be anyone. After his arrival, it began to start and again began the hay. Paul was summoned to the village - an emergency occurred and he had to suffer responsibility. The graves of the parents of Daria did not have time to move. Petruch again disappeared and Daria and Katerina healed together. Paul downgraded and Daria sympathized with her son.
Chapters 16-18.
Guys and women came to collect wheat from the city, drunken and the indigenous people of the motley began to be afraid to leave at home. Gradually, cattle and hay began to transport a new village, burned the mill. Sima came with the grandson and it became known that Petruch earns, filling on at home.
Urban left. For replacement, schoolchildren behind potatoes arrived. Nastasya never appeared and the remaining old women collected her harvest. Paul took away the cow and Daria visited the cemetery, which also ruined and burned down. She told about his grief abandoned Mogiles and it was imperative, as if, please remove the hut in last.
Chapters 19-22.
Sanzubigada, Most of the buildings, began to try to beat the century-old foliage, and Daria screamed and twisted the hut. In Twilight, Paul brought Nastasya, who said that her old man died. Old women hardly believed in what happened. All three sheltered in her Barak Bogodules, and Paul burned his native hut, turning the past forever.
Vorontsov demanded from him and Petrukhi to take three remaining old women, but the boat was lost in the night fog and the old women spent the night in the barrack, accurately in the grave - surrounded by fog and silence.
A special place in the story is assigned to the arguments of Daria that "small", another unreasonable man swung on the role of God. Because of this, everything around began to change and the new one is being built, it is built and is not done by the mind, but the old dying is irretrievably.
