The character of the community changes radically: from a buttress and bulwark for the poorer members it becomes the cause of their final ruin.
Община радикально изменяет свой характер: из оплота и опоры беднейших своих членов она становится источником окончательного их разорения.

Along the Bournemouth sea-front the beach-huts turned blank wooden faces towards a greeny-grey, froth-chained sea that leapt eagerly at the cement bulwark of the shore.
Купальни на пляжах Борнмута обращали свои слепые деревянные лица к зелено‑серому пенистому морю, а оно с яростью кидалось на береговой бетонный вал.

"That brings up a distressing possibility," she said later, as they climbed to take up places behind a bulwark of striped travertine. "What if Vader doesn't come with the attacking force?"
Когда они заняли свои места, укрывшись позади насыпи из раскрошившегося известняка, принцесса огорченно сказала: — А вдруг самого Вейдера нет среди нападающих?

But we recalled that the Narodniks see the village community as an impregnable bulwark against capitalism in our country, where the bulk of the people’s labour still goes to cultivate the land.
Но мы вспомнили, что народники видят в общине несокрушимый оплот против капитализма в нашей стране, где главная доля народного труда обращена до сих пор на земледелие.

Moreover, if they are united and organised at the right time into a single workers’ party, they can be the main bulwark of socialist agitation in favour of economic reforms which will protect the village community against general disintegration.
Кроме того, своевременно сплоченные и организованные в одну рабочую партию, они могут послужить главным оплотом социалистической агитации в пользу экономических реформ, предохраняющих общину от повсеместного разложения.

Sir Leicester in a great chair looks at the file and appears to have a stately liking for the legal repetitions and prolixities as ranging among the national bulwarks.
Сэр Лестер, покоясь в огромном кресле, смотрит на пламя камина и, кажется, величественно одобряет перегруженное бесчисленными повторами судейское многословие, видимо почитая его одним из оплотов нации.

There's a dim half-memory of being lifted up to the gangway, and of a big round countenance covered with freckles and surrounded with red hair staring at me over the bulwarks.
У меня осталось лишь смутное воспоминание, что меня поднимали по трапу и кто-то большой, рыжий, веснушчатый смотрел на меня, наклонившись над бортом.

When Stubb had departed, Ahab stood for a while leaning over the bulwarks; and then, as had been usual with him of late, calling a sailor of the watch, he sent him below for his ivory stool, and also his pipe.
После ухода Стабба Ахав стоял некоторое время, перегнувшись за борт корабля; потом, как это стало у него уже привычкой, он подозвал к себе матроса и послал его в каюту за костяным стулом и за трубкой.

Thus, then, they stood while Castell and all the ship's company, save the helmsman who steered her to the harbour's mouth, clung to the bulwarks and the cordage of the mainmast, and, forgetful of their own peril, watched in utter silence.
Так они стояли друг против друга, а Кастелл и вся команда каравеллы, кроме рулевого, который вел ее ко входу в бухту, уцепились за фальшборт и такелаж и, забыв об опасности, угрожавшей им самим, в полной тишине наблюдали за противниками.

All afternoon, when I went on deck, I saw men and officers listening hard over the bulwarks - 'for breakers,' they said;
Весь вечер, выходя на палубу, я видел, как матросы и капитан с помощниками, припав к фальшборту, напряженно вслушивались, "нет ли бурунов".
