" Game in beads " - deep meditation about cultural life, about an opportunity to keep spirituality in an empire of Game. In an image of the novel the aesthetic tradition of removal of vital contradictions in sphere of free game activity has received logic end. Roman is concentrated on the decision of 3 primary goals:
In " to Game in beads " Gess tells a history of nonexistent province Kastalii - special department - empires of spiritual self-discipline and spiritual advantage, the order and harmony. It is difficult to write about things nonexistent. Roman is perceived as the prevention of the writer of threatening destruction of humanistic culture. On a plot of book Kastalija it was separated from the big world as this world buried in to oblivion of idea of True, Goods, Beauty and selected for itself more false roads as the society entered into an epoch of the spiritual crisis, named Gess " a satirical epoch ". It was in special to a measure petty-bourgeois and attached to deep individualism the epoch which main feature the chaos was. In whirlpool of wreck of culture was born Kastalija. The supreme occupation kastaltsev was Game of a glass beads. Rules and language of game the mathematics and music represent a version of advanced secret language in which the most different sciences and arts participate, first of all. Game in beads - game with the maintenance and values of our culture. Game in beads covers all spiritual space. The master, owning game of a glass beads, can theoretically reproduce all spiritual maintenance of the world. As any great idea at Game does not have beginning, it existed always. Gess its prototype in many previous epoch, for example, at Pifagora, at ancient Chinese and philosophers, romantikov, etc. finds. But game has found the completed form presently. The modern culture did not know what to do with the spirituality, has failed to allocate spirituality a place in system of life and the state. And Game appeared on that side of real culture. All system of Game of a glass beads is directed on actualization of traditional cultural wealth. The writer spoke, that in the novel he tried to erect a citadel of the spirit rendering resistance to encroachments of not spiritual epoch. Summing up the reasonings, Gess claims, that to loss of the responsibility for culture testify as refusal of the sovereignty of spiritual culture, and elite otedinyonnost from essential vital problems. The supreme applicability of intelligency consists service to culture and a society. The name of main hero Kneht is translated as the servant. Game as the phenomenon of culture has capability to a reconstruction of various semantic situations of human activity. In Game the wide experience of cultural - philosophical simulation in an atmosphere of a humanistic ideal is concentrated Gess first of all. Gess itself names Game of a glass beads " the symbolical and significant form of searches of perfection ". Gessevskaja the model of culture is based on spiritual hierarchy. The supreme principle kastalskoj provinces - deleting of individuality, submission of the separate person to the Award. A reasoning of the writer in this occasion: " If to look narrowly more steadfastly this ideal was familiar already to an antiquity: the image of "wise man" or " the perfect person " at ancient Chinese or an ideal of thinking Sokrat about virtue almost distinct from our ideal, and were familiar to the some similar principles. Gess does not accept bourgeois individualism. Even more it patterns of a masscult with its predilections and to "biographies" in which the family history is in detail stated, sexual life revolt, ideas and dreams of the hero. For him dostoin special attention the one who due to the nature and education, has reached almost full dissolution of the person in a society, not having lost, however, that strong, fresh charm in which value of the individual will consist. Conflicts, possible between the person and hierarchy, serve, in opinion Gess, a touchstone showing greatness of the person. Rebels in this system are not approved, but figures truly tragical highly are honoured. The model of culture Gess as it is paradoxical is not focused on creativity. Creations of new works of art as in the modern chaotic world something cannot be created valuable are not encouraged. Gess tried to comprehend crisis of bourgeois consciousness within the limits of opportunities of spiritual culture, not mentioning radical essential social foundations of a society. He does not give the answer to many answers questions of the modernity, but unrestrained will to true and talent put it in the first number of culturologists of XX century.
