I.L. Galinskaya. The Salinger Mystery. «Teddy»
I.L. Galinskaya. The Salinger Mystery. «Teddy»
According to the dhvani-rasa theory
«ninth» poetic mood —
calmness leading to renunciation of the world,
will ignite on the image of the hero’s indifference (or
heroes) to worldly affairs and things. We already
mentioned that the introduction to VIII-IX
centuries into the register of traditional Indian
poetics of the new, «ninth» poetic
mood (it is also called «peace»)
associated with the name of Udbhata[1].
Let us add, however, that Udbhata’s innovation in
disputed for a long time
some theorists who considered it
contrived. Discussions on this topic from time to time
time resumed until XIII
V. But, for example, Anandavardhana, supporting
innovation of Udbhata, indicated that «rasa» -9- poetic mood of calmness,
renunciation of the world — really can
to be inspired and what is first of all for him
characterized by «complete extinction of sensation
his «I»»[2] .
Calm state is also described
Anandavardhana as bliss, «arising
as a result of liberation from the thirst for life» [3].
In the last short story of the collection «Nine
stories» — «Teddy» — all these installations
scrupulously observed.
However, let’s turn to the content
story, which we will tell in more detail,
than they did in other cases, because
it covers to a large extent
philosophical problems of the collection as a whole.
On October 1952 year old boy Teddy
McArdle with his father, mother and
six year old sister returns to
steamboat to America after a trip to Europe.
At the very beginning of the story we see this
skinny boy with a big, long time
shorn head and thin as a reed,
neck, in dirty white tennis shoes, without
socks, in striped Indian linen[4]
shorts that are too big for him, and
washed T-shirt with a hole on the shoulder,
leaning out of the porthole in the morning in the cabin
his parents. He says the day will come
excellent and then watching as overboard
drown in sea water dropped from the top
decks of orange peels. Teddy says
that if I had not seen them, I would not have known about
the existence of these crusts, and when they
drown, they will remain to exist only in
his mind. On one or two beds lies
Teddy’s father, New York radio actor, he
annoyed both by reasoning and
son’s behavior, scolds him in every possible way,
demanding that he get off the suitcase (Teddy
stands on a brand new leather paternal
suitcase), moved away from the porthole and
would generally get out of the cabin. Especially
that at half past ten Teddy and his
booper sisters[5]
swimming lesson. Teddy doesn’t pay any
the slightest attention to his father’s remarks, he
talking to mother lying on the second bed
and tells her that he swims with them
to America, university lecturer,
who heard how at a party in
Boston played a tape about the recording of the conversation
with Teddy.
It turns out that Teddy —
a ten-year-old sage, a seer that
tapes with recordings
listening with interest
university professors. Father
sneers at the supernatural
abilities of the son, and at the same time over his wife,
which encourages the demonstration of these
abilities on people.
It immediately turns out that Teddy
gave my sister my father’s camera to play,
«watering can», and the father orders immediately
bring the camera to the cabin. Before leaving
Teddy carelessly kisses his mother on the cheek,
neatly collects from the night table
cigarette butts scattered by the father and brushes away
hand ashes, then wiping his hand on his shorts. IN
he eventually leaves, saying that after
before he leaves, he will remain
only in the minds of all his acquaintances, as
Orange peel.
Subsequent events
are already developing on two decks of the ocean
liner. On the sports deck, Teddy finds
sister — a creature, although still a minor, but
vicious and cruel. Little Booper
hates mother, brother who plays with her
little boy and indeed «everyone in
this ocean.»
Teddy sends her with a «watering can» to the cabin
parents, but warns that through
half an hour she came to a swimming lesson in
pool.
Next we see Teddy on deck
for relaxation, where he sits down in a deck chair to
make some entries in your diary. Under
date — 28 October 1952 — among others
notes, he writes the following: «It will happen
either today or February 14, 1958, when
I will be sixteen. It’s funny even
mention it» [7].
However, the boy does not notice that
he is being watched. This is the one
the teacher he talked about
mother. He says his name is Bob
Nicholson—and asks Teddy what they are
made in Europe. Turns out Teddy
mother went to Edinburgh and Oxford, where
he was interviewed by university
professors who came from all over Europe.
Teddy is talking to
Nicholson in a calm, even apathetic
manner and suddenly utters two Japanese
poems to show how
devoid of emotion: “Nothing in the voice of a cicada
indicates whether she will die soon» and «According to
no one goes this road in this pre-autumn
time”[8].
He would like to know, says Teddy, why
people expend so much energy to manifest
emotions. My father, he continues, is worried
even when reading a newspaper. «And you don’t have
there are emotions? Nicholson asks
receives an answer that Teddy doesn’t even know for
what emotions are needed. Then Nicholson
asks if Teddy loves his parents, and
receives an affirmative answer, but with
the caveat that this is love is perfect
different kind than Nicholson thinks, and her,
rather, it can be denoted by the concept of «related
closeness»[9].
I would like, says Teddy, to parents
it was good while they are alive, as they love
a good time. As for
parental love, they rather love
reason why they should love their
children.
Nicholson next asks,
Is it true that Teddy believes in the Vedantic
theory of reincarnation, believes that in
in his last incarnation he was a saint in India.
It’s not just a theory, Teddy replies,
and he himself was not a saint, but only
an individual who has made great strides in
spiritual perfection of the individual, but,
meeting a woman, he stopped meditating and
punishment in a new existence born
American boy. And in America
he continues, it is very difficult to practice
meditation and self-improvement[10].
When he was six years old in the current
incarnation, Teddy goes on to say, he
realized that everything is God, that God is in everything. He
asks Nicholson to raise his hand and
asks how we can know what it is
really a hand and what is it really
exists. Nicholson gets worried
and tries to prove from the standpoint of logic that
it is his hand and that it exists. But Teddy
calmly replies that the biblical Adam in
ate his time not an apple, but logic, why
since then people have not ceased logically
think. And the point is that most
people do not want to see the essence of their being,
which lies in their thirst for new
incarnations, the desire to be born again and again
and die. They always want to receive
new and new bodies, instead of
stop and merge with the divine
substance.
Is it true, asks
Nicholson, what did you tell all the professors
who interviewed you, date of death
each of them? No, says Teddy, I’m just
told them the time and place, when and where they
must be very, very careful.
All these professors just made
Teddy tell them when they die but he
answered cautiously, because he understands
that even though they teach
the history of religion and philosophy, they are all the same
less very afraid of death.
«What nonsense,» he said.
All you have to do is take out
the heck out of your body when you die. Damn it,
everyone has done it thousands and thousands of times. And then
that they don’t remember it doesn’t mean
that they didn’t do it. What stupidity.”[11]
Next Teddy says that,
Let’s say in a few minutes
the swimming lesson will start and when will it
stand on the edge of the pool and watch
down, because the water was released from the pool,
his sister will come up from behind and push him. He,
maybe fall, hit his head on the bottom
pool and instantly die. So maybe
happen, says Teddy, because the sister
still a little girl and she only passed
through a small number of incarnations. But
will my death be tragic,
he asks further, should she
afraid?
It won’t be a tragedy, with your
point of view, replies Nicholson, but
will make your parents very sad. Yes,
agrees Teddy, but only because
their emotional attitude to everything that
happens in life. But in reality
life is an illusion.
Teddy gets up to go
for a swimming lesson, but Nicholson asks him to
answer one more question about whether
Should the education system be changed? Yes,
says Teddy should have put together
all children and teach them meditation. A to
to make them forget everything they were taught
parents. I would explain to them, he continues,
that the layers are big only compared to something,
with a dog, for example, or with a woman. I would
just showed them the elephant, the grass, etc. I wouldn’t
said the grass is green because the colors—
it’s just words. And anyway I would make them
forget about the logic that their parents feed them
and all the rest. But then you would bring up
a generation of ignoramuses, Nicholson argues. They
will be no more ignorant than an elephant or
grass, the boy answers. Nicholson tried
get answers to a few more questions,
hold Teddy, but the boy shook his hand,
said goodbye and quickly moved to the side
side nave of the ship.
Nicholson sat motionless
a few minutes, then got up and went to
Teddy. But, having passed several decks and
approaching the heavy metal
doors with the inscription «Pool», heard behind her
sharp squeal and determined by the voice that
cried the little girl. What is the story
and ends, leaving the reader in
not knowing if the prediction came true
Teddy about his death on this day.
We have already said that the collection «Nine
short stories» is intended by the author for two
categories of readers. For a wide range
and for a small group of people, in one way or another
degree familiar with the basics of traditional
Indian poetics and religious philosophy.
But, I think, a considerable number
representatives of the first group, reading
story «Teddy» will undoubtedly understand that in
conversation with Nicholson on philosophical topics
the young sage very popularly expounds not
nothing more than the main postulates of Hinduism.
Here is the dogma of the eternal
cycle of life, i.e. faith in
reincarnation, and associated with this faith
the postulate of retribution-retribution (karma) for
all good and bad deeds. Here and
doctrine of the unity of the human soul with
the universal universal principle,
universal essence, for from further
the cycle of more and more new incarnations
can be released according to Hindu
beliefs only man, completely
attained this unity. «I was six years old
when I saw that everything is God,
Nicholson Teddy — and my hair became
on end, and all that sort of thing … This, I remember,
happened on Sunday. My sister then
was just a baby, and she drank her
milk, when suddenly I suddenly realized that she
— god and milk — god. I want to say that everything
her actions meant that the god was pouring into
God, if you, of course, catch the meaning
this idea» [12].
And the idea that all the diversity of the world and
life itself is an illusion, Teddy lays out
to his interlocutor in the form of a parable about a dog,
owned by a physical education instructor
steamboat Sven. This parable sounds like
So. If Sven dreams that his dog
died, he will suffer very much in a dream, so
how he loves her. But when you wake up,
happy, for he will understand that it was only a dream.
However, if the dog really died,
the essence of the matter would not change in the slightest, but only
Sven would not have known about this, because
that the variety of life is just
illusion, he does not understand. Tells Teddy how
we remember Nicholson and that love for
a woman prevents a man from doing his duty,
i.e. engage in self-improvement,
self-knowledge, which leads to the final
account of the Hindu faith to merge with
divine substance.
It is noteworthy that in
reasoning of the young sage Salinger as
a number of provisions of various
Indian philosophical schools. However, this
by no means but the invention of the writer — through the mouth
Teddy set out to actually attempt two
Indian thinkers XIX
in. — Saraswati (1824-1883) and Vivekananda (1863-1902) — «eclectically
combine concepts in your teaching
major schools of ancient Indian philosophy”[13].
For all that, of course, a paraphrase
Hindu religious teachings in a story
«Teddy» is by no means an end in itself. After all, in
last, ninth, story
Salinger’s collection is expressed in
essence, and directly, «in plain text»,
everything that is in the first story of this collection
(«Great day for banana herring»)
constituted his dhvani — manifested
meaning. Recall that the hidden meaning of this
the story was that suicide
Seymour Glass — an act not at all sad, vol.
e. not a tragic result of «erroneous» love,
unsuccessful marriage, complete rejection
his environment, etc., but
one of the stages on the way to saving a person
in the spirit of Hinduism, that is, on the way to
renunciation of all desires, merging with
the highest absolute, ascension above joy and
sadness, life and death. In short — on the way to nirvana.
On the same «path» we find
young sage Teddy McArdle. Thus,
at end of the book,
nine stories of which compositionally
arranged in the form of a ring, as if repeated
the same religious-philosophical motive that
sounds at its beginning — the motive of voluntary
the death of the hero as a stage he realized on
path to nirvana[14].
The only difference is that at the beginning of the book the motif
this one «reaches like an echo, like an echo,
which not everyone is able to hear”, i.e.
appears in the form of a secret, not
verbalized effect, and at the end,
on the contrary, it is conveyed to the reader through
another kind of dhvani, in which the expressed
words just “there is what they want to say, but
subordinated to another ”(i.e., suggestion
a certain mood)[15].
