Decoration, equipment: exhibition of one author “Ready-made portrait. Evgeny Schwartz”, computer, TV, video: “Once upon a time there was a storyteller”

Scenario

Presenter 1: You know that 2016 in Russia is dedicated to cinema. But cinema cannot be imagined without the wonderful adaptations of fairy tales by Yevgeny Schwartz! In addition, in October we celebrated the 120th anniversary of the writer.

(video presentation: "Once upon a time there was a storyteller")

The name of Evgeny Lvovich Schwartz is surrounded by a legend. The legend doesn't lie, but it doesn't tell the whole truth either. The legend is simple - life is complicated, and in it "everything is wonderful and magnificently mixed up." Schwartz entered literature as a children's writer, in the 1920s he worked in the magazine "Hedgehog and Chizh", and then became a playwright and staged many fairy tales. Therefore, acquaintance with the work of this writer for us sometimes begins not with books, but with films. Having seen, in childhood, the good old film "Cinderella" (it was filmed according to the script of Schwartz), we remember for the rest of our lives the amazing words of the little page: "I'm not a magician, I'm just learning." And in youth, as a prayer, we repeat: “Only once in a life does a day fall in love when they succeed.” These are words from another amazing fairy tale by Schwartz, “An Ordinary Miracle.” Truly, Evgeny Lvovich can be called the lord of the Fairy Kingdom. What a variety of fairy tales : "The Snow Queen", "The Naked King", "Two Maples", "The Tale of Lost Time", "Cinderella" and many others.

Host 2:

"The Lord blessed me to go,

Bresty ordered without thinking about the goal.

He sing blessed me on the way.

So that my companions have fun ... ", -

This is what the writer said about himself.

Presenter 1: Schwartz Evgeny Lvovich (1896 - 1958), writer and playwright.

Born October 21, 1896 in Kazan in the family of a doctor. From the memoirs of Schwartz: “I learned to read early. How and when, I can't remember. I remember the first book - these are fairy tales published by Stupin. I remember my mother reading The Prince and the Pauper. And then it was read by me, first in pieces, then in its entirety many times in a row. My mother really wanted me to become an engineer. "Who will you be?" she somehow asked. I answered in a half-whisper: "A novelist." In my confusion, I simply forgot that there is a simpler word for "writer".

Schwartz spent his adolescent years in Maykop. He studied at the Faculty of Law of Moscow University (1914-1916).

First appeared in print in 1923; collaborated in children's humorous magazines "Hedgehog" and "Chizh". From 1926 he kept diaries. In the late 20s - 30s. worked in Leningrad as the head of the children's editorial office of the State Publishing House and the Raduga publishing house, prepared radio programs. For some time he was the secretary of K. I. Chukovsky. Schwartz's novels "The Adventures of Shura and Marusya", "An Alien Girl" (both 1937), "First Grader" (1948) are noted for a subtle understanding of child psychology, humor, and a vivid sense of the poetry of early life.

Host 2: Eccentric fiction, a witty play with the word appeared in the first plays by Schwartz ("Underwood", - a typewriter set in 1929, published in 1930; "The Treasure", staged in 1933, published in 1934; satirical comedy "The Adventures of Hohenstaufen", 1934). The writer used the plots of folk tales, as well as fairy tales of H. K. Andersen to create his own artistic world (plays "The Naked King", "Little Red Riding Hood", "The Snow Queen", "Shadow"). During the Great Patriotic War, Schwartz created the anti-fascist play-pamphlet The Dragon (1944, staged in 1962 by director M. N. P. Akimov at the Leningrad Comedy Theater). In the post-war years, his dramaturgy increased attention to the psychological and everyday details of the life of a modern person (plays "An Ordinary Miracle", 1956; "The Tale of Young Spouses", 1958). According to Schwartz's scripts, the films "Cinderella" (1947), "Don Quixote" (1957; based on the novel by M. de Cervantes) and others were shot.

Now I will show you pictures from another wonderful fairy tale, and you will tell me what it is called. There is a famous film by Alexander Ptushko, filmed in 1964 based on the play of the same name by E. Schwartz. Who watched the movie or cartoon, or read? Which of you will easily answer our questions:

Quiz based on the book by E. Schwartz "The Tale of Lost Time"

1. “What a lonely, unhappy old man I am. No mother, no children, no grandchildren, no friends…. And most importantly, I did not have time to learn anything. Real old people are either doctors, or masters, or academicians, or teachers. And who needs me when I'm just a 3rd grade student?

Once upon a time, children's films and cartoons were shot according to his scripts, his plays were taken by the best theaters in the country ...

Last year he became the best contemporary storyteller in Russia. But, despite his popularity, the children's writer Yuri Kharlamov lives in a remote province, carries firewood from the planting on a sled and claims that life is beautiful and amazing ...

We never thought that fate would turn out like this, - the writer's wife Svetlana tells me and takes me to a low adobe hut. - They came to Generalskoe as a dacha, but lived in Dushanbe, in an elite apartment. In addition, we had decent savings, but the USSR collapsed, money depreciated, and we moved here empty-handed...

"Moscow is not for me..."

A sagging ceiling, sooty walls, a small window through which sunlight barely breaks through. The Kharlamovs carry water from the well in buckets, but Yuri Ilyich does not complain.

I learned how to plant a garden, heat a stove, built a bathhouse, - he shows his possessions. - And in the summer, birds sing with us and it smells of apples ...

Last year, Yuri Kharlamov received the first literary award - named after Pyotr Ershov for books for children and youth. Gas was finally spent on the Kharlamov premiums. Now the family lives on small percentages that come from the Moscow Art Theater. Gorky, where Kharlamov's play "High-rise" has been going on for more than a year ...

By the way, I offered the same work to Rostov theaters, but nobody was interested in it. And Tatyana Doronina liked it, - says the writer. - Perhaps they would have taken other manuscripts, but in order to be popular, you need to live in Moscow, move in bohemian circles, and this is not for me.

Despite the secluded lifestyle, fame still found Yuri Kharlamov in the Don outback. After the publication of "Tales of Baba Grusha", the writer received a letter: "Hello ... Thank you for writing about me ... I demand continuation ..." It so happened that the heroine of the series of fairy tales Kharlamova Grusha not only outwardly resembled a real woman, but also the stories that happened to her were as if taken from the life of the author of the letter.

Writers go into show business...

After receiving the award, Kharlamov's tales were published in Yershov's homeland, in the Tyumen region, and now we have published his first book in the last fifteen years ..

I didn't go anywhere, I didn't beat anything. Just in the library, the children began to ask for my fairy tales. And they remembered me. And here it is, the first edition, - Yuri Ilyich shows stacks of books on the floor. - They brought it a few days ago.

Part of the circulation, which Kharlamov took instead of a fee, the storyteller is going to give away to the village kids. Indeed, in the village they know that a writer lives in poverty in a small adobe house, and they have no idea what he wrote about.

The world has changed. People don't read much. And writers go into show business or write texts for comedians, - says the storyteller. - There are no decent playwrights left, no children's writers ...

But Kharlamov remained. And in children's literature, and in a small hut on the outskirts of Generalsky. Every day he sits down at an old typewriter and goes into a world where good always triumphs over evil. After all, he is a storyteller!

Svetlana Lomakina

IN Rostov region V the village of Generalskoe lives a real storyteller - the winner of the literary prize named after Peter Ershov.

It is not difficult to find the old adobe hut of Yuri Kharlamov and his muse - his wife Svetlana, even without knowing the address. You just need to stop a passerby and ask: "Where does the writer live?"

From the side of a narrow rural street, the writer's farmstead is closed from prying eyes by a fence hung with a green carpet of ivy. The round arbor in the depths of the garden is not visible either - Kharlamov's summer office. In the most honorable place in it is an old Continental typewriter, which can now only be seen in an antique shop or museum.

Yuri Kharlamov was born in 1936 in Lugansk. His father was a school principal and his mother was a teacher. In the late fifties, Kharlamov arrived in Rostov, went to work at a weaving factory and began to ask: “Where are the poets clustering here?”

At that time a club of young writers gathered in Rostov. Pyotr Vegin, Boris Primerov, Slava Saksin, Kulikov, Ter-Markaryan - Rostov "sixties" went there, - recalls Yuri Ilyich. - Vegin worked on television and called me there. I became an associate and wrote - poetry, prose, published in the magazine "Don".

He sent his creations simultaneously to two institutes - in VGIK and Literary Institute.

Positive feedback came from both universities, and Yuri Ilyich chose the screenwriting department of VGIK. Entered the correspondence course, studied in the studio of the famous screenwriter Alexey Kapler together with the future screenwriter Victoria Tokareva and Gennady Bokarev- the author of a sensational play in its time "Steelworkers". He began his own creative life on the Don land, considering it since then as his small homeland.

The first essays in the magazine "Don", a test of strength in different genres, work on the first book, meetings in the club of young writers, where the Khrushchev thaw gathered talented sixties - Anton Gerashchenko, Anatoly Gritsenko, Boris Primerov.

Many peers and brothers in the craft tried with all their might to get to the capital. And Yuri Kharlamov wanted to "see life and show himself" in completely different places in the great country.

By this time, on television, he was appointed head of the film department, but this work was not to the liking of the novice writer, and he left for Sochi. He worked there for a year as a newspaper editor.

But I got bored in this beach town, - Kharlamov admits. - I wanted romance. With a friend, the poet Ivan Mashkin, we were going to go to Chukotka, to save the endangered Yukaghir tribe there.

But instead of Chukotka, Kharlamov went to Tajikistan. He worked in a newspaper, at a film studio.

Once Kharlamov decided to escape from the bustle of the city in order to create in the silence of nature. Settled weather observer to a nature reserve with a charming name Tiger beam.

I lived like Robinson Crusoe. Not a soul around, only greeted the jackals. Every day I sat down at a typewriter and wrote, writing in such a way that my right hand swelled and hurt ... Nothing happened! And only when I returned to Dushanbe, to the familiar environment: friends, communication, - I wrote a book in a month "In the Land of the Lost Tiger".

In Tigrovaya Balka, Yuri met a huntsman, a Russian guy who grew up in a Turkmen family - he wrote a documentary film about him. Soon Tajikfilm announced an anonymous competition for the best scripts for feature, documentary and animated films. Both Kharlamov's scenarios won - both about the huntsman and about the "tiger" (a film was made according to this scenario "It Takes a Tiger"). Yuri Ilyich traveled all over Tajikistan.

In every mountain village, in the windows of the outermost houses, a fire is always burning so that the traveler does not get lost, the writer recalls. - You approach the village, and a child is already standing on the threshold, holding out water and a cake - to any traveler, no matter who he is, a good person or a bad one. Everything around was very often so fantastic and fabulous that it was then that my first fairy tales were born.

As a scriptwriter, Kharlamov began to be invited to film expeditions and business trips to shoot. The constant companion of the young writer was his wife Svetlana Tsoi- Medical school graduate. Over time, she became his editor, proofreader, and critic. Yuri Ilyich was accepted into the creative unions of writers and filmmakers. After receiving an apartment in Dushanbe, life seemed to have finally improved.

When in 1980 year, the couple decided to acquire a dacha on the Don land and looked after an old house in the village for this purpose Generalsky, no one could have imagined that someday it would remain their only wealth and shelter. But this was still quite a long way off. For a good ten years, Yuri Ilyich and his wife traveled five thousand kilometers by plane every spring to their dacha and spent the entire summer season here.

For a long time, the neighbor's grandmother could not understand what kind of profession Kharlamov had, if he had been sitting in the gazebo at the typewriter all summer, and did not go to work anywhere.

Yes, you, right, work as a stoker, - she decided one day. - It's clear - the stoker has no work in the summer.

This story - why not a fairy tale? Yuri Ilyich smiles. - And meanwhile, nothing is invented, everything happened in reality.

The war in Tajikistan has deprived the spouses of everything acquired. Becoming refugees, after long ordeals, they eventually settled in their adobe house.

In normal times, this room is the storyteller's office. He writes all his works by hand, then retypes them on a typewriter - "to see the text", makes notes. Only when everything is ready, is it accepted, as he himself says, "for typographical work": retypes on a computer and prints out for distribution by regular mail.

Printed sheets are scattered all over the house: Yuri Ilyich works tirelessly. Behind - books of fairy tales, scripts for films and cartoons, plays. One of his plays is "High-rise"- for several seasons went to Moscow Art Theater.

Yuri Ilyich himself laid out the stove, built a bathhouse, - says his wife Svetlana. - I confess, only here for the first time in my life I saw a live cow.

A couple of cats are basking in the sun, chickens and ducks are walking nearby. Everyone lives together, like in a fairy tale.

Our bird is more decorative. To cook soup from it - the hand does not rise, - says Yuri Ilyich.

It is impractical, of course, but it cannot be otherwise. After all, all these birds and animals for Kharlamov are fairy-tale heroes. He watches them like that, and then transfers them to a fairy tale. Readers and critics are only surprised: how Kharlamov wrote everything so smartly and vividly.

But if I didn’t write a fairy tale right away, she somehow leaves, - continues Yuri Ilyich - something happens: if you cheated on her, then she also leaves you. Creativity is some kind of living thing ... I love old things, I have a Continental typewriter, now I have another one, but still I love this typewriter, because it has a destiny: it traveled on camels in Central Asia in the sands, and I myself had many adventures with her. Once I did not write for a long time, a mouse settled in this typewriter, dragged herbs, all sorts of threads there, and made a nest. But then I kicked her out, of course...

These are poems by Yuri Ilyich. About them he says:

Poems are the highest form of fairy tales. If you write just poetry, reflect reality, it will be poetry, but not poetry ... it was not poetry, but I called them a state of mind. (Poems by Yu. I. Kharlamov.)

IN 2006 year Yuri Kharlamov became the laureate of the first All-Russian Literary Prize named after Pyotr Ershov for books for children and youth. The writer was awarded a high award for his book "Tales of Baba Pears"(Staging of a fragment of fairy tales).

A commemorative sign of the Yershov Literary Competition - a figurine of an elk horn depicting the famous fairy-tale Ivan on the no less famous fairy-tale Humpbacked Horse Yuri Ilyich was sent from Siberia.

The Don writer did not have to personally attend the award ceremony - the doctors did not let him go for health reasons. By the way, the head of the administration of the Siberian city of Ishim Victor Rein, who established this award together with the Writers' Union of Russia, officially invited Kharlamov to move permanently to Ishim, where he guaranteed the provision of decent housing.

I was touched to the depths of my soul by this proposal, - says Yuri Ilyich, - but I thanked the respected Viktor Alexandrovich and refused. In Rostov, I began my creative biography. And Generalskoye became my small homeland. It is very easy and familiar to work here. "Tales of Baba Grusha" were born on this land. Here are my friends.

In a letter to V.A. Rein, he wrote:

“... I think I have been very lucky three times in my life. Born in the same city (Lugansk) with the great creator of the Russian explanatory dictionary - Vladimir Ivanovich Dal. I live in the world-famous land of Mikhail Alexandrovich Sholokhov. The award was received in the homeland of the unsurpassed master of the poetic fairy tale Pyotr Pavlovich Ershov. Under the gaze of such titans of words, thoughts and spirit, it is a shame to write not at the limit of one's creative abilities.

He writes his stories, not invents them. About what is close to him, about the sore. After all, the life of Yuri Ilyich himself is so similar to a fairy tale, where there are always difficulties, but there is always some kind of small miracle.

It is about such a life that Yuri Kharlamov writes in his book about Baba Grusha. Grusha complains about his difficult life, but does not lose heart. These lamentations reflect the whole life of our pensioners and the Russian village in general ( “how we live: we don’t get a salary, the lights are turned off, they don’t give medicines, they torture us with meals on TV”). Baba Grusha lives in a small village. She tasted a lot of grief in her life - “A bullet-razluchnitsa kissed my betrothed in the very heart”. But good miracles do not bypass Baba Grusha - fate rewarded her with the boy Vanechka from a magic seed.

The inquisitive and dexterous Vanya helps Grandma Grusha with the housework, cleans the neighbor's pipes, digs the subway together with the mole, helps the mice free themselves from the curse; deftly gets out of trouble and, together with the reader, learns the world. Here it is worth noting that the appearance of a boy from a grain echoes the motifs of fairy tales about the Little Thumb and Thumbelina. The content of individual tales in the book is reminiscent of Russian folk tales, the plots of which Yuri Kharlamov presents with his characteristic humor and in a modern context, thanks to which the book only wins.

In “Fairy Tales ...” both the living folk language - the language of the woman Grusha, and the language of the younger generation - Vanechka, are heard, so that it will be understandable even to grandmothers who read the book to their grandchildren ( "theirs", "district center", "nivrmag", "royal beetle"), and the younger generation ( “... if you meet my Vanechka on the Internet, you must tell me, otherwise, they say, there are cobwebs and some kind of dogs running around ...”).

This cannot be said with complete certainty about the understanding by young children of the social context of "The Tales of Baba Grusha". Although it is also impossible to argue that he is superfluous here. Such tales "on the topic of the day", but at the same time kind in their own way, are necessary in our time. After all, they are modern fairy tales to raise actual problems.

Despite the secluded lifestyle, fame still found Yuri Kharlamov in the Don outback. After the publication of "Tales of Baba Grusha", the writer received a letter:
"Hello ... Thank you for writing about me ... I demand to continue ..."
It so happened that the heroine of a series of fairy tales Kharlamova Grusha not only outwardly resembled a real woman, but the stories that happened to her were as if taken from the life of the author of the letter.

After receiving the award, Kharlamov's tales were published in Yershov's homeland, in the Tyumen region, and now we have published his first book in the last fifteen years.

“I didn’t go anywhere, I didn’t beat anything. Just in the library, the children began to ask for my fairy tales. And they remembered me. And here it is, the first edition, - Yuri Ilyich shows stacks of books on the floor. - They brought it a few days ago.

Part of the circulation, which Kharlamov took instead of a fee, the storyteller is going to give away to the village kids. Indeed, in the village they know that a writer lives in a small adobe house, but they have no idea what he wrote about.

To the collection "Green Boy", published by the publishing house ZAO "Kniga" Rostov-on-Don in 2007, in addition to "Tales of Baba Pear" included three story-tales of Yuri Ilyich "Green Boy", "Magic Skullcap", "It Takes a Tiger".

It was for these three stories-fairy tales that he became the winner of the competition "Golden leaf fall-2009" them. G. Mikhasenko in the nomination "A new childhood awaits its fairy tales".

“As a child, I never thought about where fairy tales come from - I thought that there were always fairy tales.
But then I got older and found out that there was a time when there was neither the Kingdom of Far Far Away, nor the Serpent Gorynych, nor the Princess on the Pea. I felt sad: I thought about the children who lived before these fairy tales appeared.
When I became an adult, I realized that I would not have to learn many fairy tales either, because they would appear after me. But if they are not written, this does not mean that they do not exist! Fairy tales live around us - we just do not notice them. And sometimes we don't want to notice. But remember - even kings abandoned important state affairs and participated in fairy tales with pleasure. Stupid kings went to war, and smart ones went to fairy tales. And what? From those kings who conquered entire countries, these countries were then taken away by other kings. And those kings who preferred a fairy tale remained forever in it. A fairy tale can neither be conquered, nor taken away, nor killed: it belongs to no one, and therefore belongs to everyone.
And then one day I decided to visit a fairy tale by all means. But waiting for a fairy tale to find you can be a lifetime of waiting. And I myself went in search of a fairy tale.

This is how the fairy tale story “It Takes a Tiger” begins, but these words can be attributed to all the fairy tales of Yuri Ilyich.

The author in this tale goes as a weather observer to the protected forest, which was first called the Tiger Forest, then the Tiger's Footprint Forest (since only one trace remained of the tiger), and then they began to call it the Forest of the Disappeared Tiger altogether.

Heroes of the fairy tale: Gifted, Green Bang and Cyril are fighting against the robber Buttercup, who kills defenseless animals in the forest. But when the villain was caught, and it was decided to exchange him for a tiger, it turned out that it was not so easy to do this: “it was easier to destroy thousands of tigers than to get two cubs now.”

And here are the heroes of the fairy tale "Magic Skullcap" the sparrow Chirka and the starling Pashka did not end up in Africa because of the hurricane, but ended up in the Kingdom of the Sun, the Cotton State, where King Navruz ruled - the owner of a magical skullcap with his beautiful daughter Malika.

Love helps to do real miracles. And Chirka, having fallen in love with Princess Malika, saves her from Puzan-Paukan, who stole the magic skullcap, and the entire Cotton State from gluttonous butterflies and their queen Zu-Zu.

But the princess and the sparrow can't be together! On the wonderful night of the Flying Star, when the most cherished desires come true, Princess Malika asked the star to turn Chirka into a prince, but he fell asleep, and the star fulfilled only the desires of those who did not sleep. Then Malika herself became a sparrow. And for a long ten years they lived together without complaining about fate. As a reward for their love, Flying Star found them and turned them into a prince and princess and gave them a kingdom called Fairyland.

“Well, the country of fairy tales, as you guessed, is not far away, but right in your room. One has only to take a fascinating children's book off the shelf and open it.

The boy Pea from the city of a Thousand Roses had to go through amazing adventures in a fairy tale story "Green Boy". The famous maestro Tiran-Striped appeared in the city, a tamer who was hated by all the animals. Polka dots went to the circus to try to disrupt the performance and stop the abuse of poor animals. But after the performance, he ... disappeared.

Peas overheard the conversation of the Striped Tyrant with his daughter Susanna, who was going to train ... butterflies! He rushed into the forest to warn them of trouble, about tulip traps, with which they were supposed to catch them.

Butterflies bathed Peas in the wonderful juice of plants and he became invisible, that is, green in a green forest.

Wonderful classes at the Butterfly School helped Peas learn about how the Lord created the Earth and all life on it, about Adam and Eve, about the global flood, about the worst enemy of the Lord, the Antichrist, and about bad people who mercilessly kill the living beauty created by God.

Peas were able to save the flower of the Transformations, because if he died, eternal cold would come on Earth, the seasons would not replace each other.

And the Fairy of Spring said that because of the enmity of people, the Earth, which was once a single whole, was divided into different continents, and so it will be until people join hands and unite it. Only then will eternal peace and happiness come to Earth.

But it's up to us humans.

All these fairy tales are imbued with love for all life on Earth, fictional, fabulous, and real heroes act in them, they have a clear reference point for goodness, friendship, and mutual assistance.

New fairy tale by Yuri Kharlamov "The Girl and the King"(read) is based on real historical events that took place in Ishim - the very town where the author of "The Little Humpbacked Horse" Pyotr Ershov was born and where a literary prize was established in his honor.

In this city there is a monument to Praskovya Lupolova, - says the author. - She was the daughter of a retired military man exiled to Ishim in 1798. Praskovya is known for the fact that she went on foot to St. Petersburg to Emperor Alexander I in order to beg for mercy for her father. On the way, she independently mastered the letter, managed to write a petition and achieved an audience with the king. The sovereign pardoned her father, and the girl, fulfilling her vow, retired to a convent. This is what the tale is about.

The book is the greatest miracle that must be cherished, that must be cherished, such is the leitmotif of all Kharlamov's fairy tales. What is happening with children's reading now cannot but excite the writer.

— The world has changed. People don't read much. Again, TV, all these set-top boxes, the dominance of all these Western computer animated films for children - all this somehow discourages interest in literature. This is also a big loss, which will come back to haunt, maybe it won't be too long to wait until a generation appears that is not interested in books, - the writer says bitterly. - It's scary, because in the books all the wisdom, all the poetry.

Every librarian dreams of such a book with which to begin the Reader, Reading for life. It is about such a book that Yuri Kharlamov writes in his fairy tale "Royal copy".

"The boy was asleep. There was a book on the floor next to his bed. It was the boring moralizing of one of the successful court writers. The great storyteller took it by the cover, gave it a good shake, and all his characters spilled out onto the floor like cockroaches from a jar.
- Where are we now? they whimpered.
- To the one who invented you! - answered the Great storyteller.
And since each of his words had magical powers, they immediately disappeared like a nightmare.
They say that these outrageous people really settled in the house of their creator, spent all day lounging around, playing tricks, carrying all sorts of nonsense and building nasty things to the author. Until he thought of republishing them.
And the boy, waking up in the morning, found under his pillow a book of the Great storyteller, brand new, still smelling of paint, with color pictures and a portrait of the author. I do not undertake to describe his joy and surprise. But the fairy tales themselves turned out to be even more surprising - he could not tear himself away from them until he had read every one of them. True, there was a little confusion with the pictures: at night, in the dark and in a hurry, they confused where the fairy tale was, and ended up on other people's pages. The naked king ended up in the realm of the Snow Queen, on the pea instead of the princess was the Bad Boy, and the princess married the Chimney Sweep. But this made the book even more fun, you had to guess who was from which fairy tale.
The book was read first by the boy, then by his friends. She passed from hand to hand, adults and children read it, people stopped quarreling and offending each other, there was so much wisdom and kindness in fairy tales and magical stories of the Great storyteller. The book was disheveled, its pages were dripped with wax (after all, there was no electricity then) and tears (and there were always tears), it was glued several times and re-bound, but this is the usual fate of any interesting book ... "

Writers go into show business or write texts for comedians, says the storyteller. - There are no decent playwrights left, no children's writers ...

But Kharlamov remained. And in children's literature, and in a small hut on the outskirts of Generalsky. Every day he sits down at an old typewriter and goes into a world where good always triumphs over evil. After all, he is a storyteller!

He received a good education, made a career as a lawyer and writer, he was admitted to the French Academy, wrote many scientific works. He published his first book of fairy tales under a pseudonym - the name of his eldest son was indicated on the cover, since Perrault was afraid that the storyteller's reputation could damage his career. In 1697, his collection Tales of Mother Goose was published, which brought Perrault world fame. According to the plot of his fairy tales, famous ballets and operas were created. As for the most famous works, few people did not read in their childhood about Puss in Boots, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Gingerbread House, Thumb Boy, Bluebeard.

Alexander Pushkin began to write his poems at an early age, he received a good education at home, graduated from the Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum (a privileged educational institution), and was friends with other famous poets, including the “Decembrists”. In the life of the poet, there were both periods of ups and downs and tragic events: accusations of freethinking, misunderstanding and condemnation of the authorities, and finally, a fatal duel, as a result of which Pushkin received a mortal wound and died at the age of 38. But his legacy remains: the last fairy tale written by the poet was The Tale of the Golden Cockerel. Also known are “The Tale of Tsar Saltan”, “The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish”, “The Tale of the Dead Princess and the Seven Bogatyrs”, “The Tale of the Priest and the Worker Balda”.

In 1918, he volunteered for the front, returning, he decided to turn to journalism. Only on the occasion of the author's 60th birthday was the collection of short stories "The Malachite Box" published, which brought people's love to Bazhov. It is interesting that fairy tales are made in the form of legends: folk speech, folklore images make each work special.
