The story "Zorkin's song" from the story "The Last Bow" Everyone who has read the writer's works will agree that the banks of the river of life of Viktor Astafiev are all in trees, flowers and the incessant singing of birds. No Russian writer has such a description of nature, captured in thousands of names of trees, herbs, flowers, animals and birds. The bird zorka, scientifically, a robin, became a real discovery for the village boy from the story "Zorka's song". It turns out that with the trills of this tiny orange-breasted bird, the wonderful singing of all other birds begins in the forest! Zorka's song and the bird's polyphony, the glorious morning and the rising sun, as it once entered the heart of the future writer and remained in it. But people have forgotten how to see the pristine beauty of nature, they have almost forgotten how to listen to the silence and the singing of birds. "What kind of disaster is this, what kind of attack on our land?" The writer asked with pain. Russian Russian, and again and again, with a magical, unkillable word, he disturbed, awakened in each of us the world of the undead Russian soul. Listen up! Zorka sings – The morning is coming!
